I'm a little 50/50 on this.
How does one fail at cleaning a table? Or refilling a water bottle?
I disagree with the water bottle changes personally to an extent, I would rather have preferred something like just an animation and a timer. I'm exaggerating this, but you shouldn't be able to fill up 200 empty bottles in one go.
It does not make sense for someone who's been cooking for years to all of a sudden start spilling their product, when they never did previously
I agree to some degree, someone who's been cooking for quite a while would learn what they're doing and minimize their mistakes, but there should be some balance.
Why remove the ability to refill water at the water cooler in properties when that made logical sense? (I know PRIVATE LABS, but seriously... it actually does make logical sense to have us be able to refill)
I do agree with this, water should be able to be filled up using something that would make sense for it to have water, like a sink or refrigerator, I'd rather be able to give my character clean water, as opposed to the current system of river/ocean water.
Balancing a game while keeping the community happy is extremely difficult, as you're always going to have people agreeing and disagreeing with what changes are implemented, and I have nothing but respect towards the developers.
