Getting out and getting sunshine? Well thats pretty hard to do when you have to work all day. When im done i kinda wanna go home and relax a little bit so I play this game. I fucking hate reality TV so I dont do that.

You could seriously know where I am at any given time of the day b/c my schedule is so static. Wake up 6:30, leave for work 7:30, get at work 8:00, go to gym 12-1:30, work 1:30-5, go home make dinner do random chores, raid at 7, stop raiding at 10-11, watch previously recorded shows on my dvr till 12....repeat. Weekends I pretty much get to do w/e the fuck i want.

I'm pretty much sick of partying the first year of my college experience i was in a drunken stupor and I pretty much at this point think alcohol is pretty damn boring and even If i didnt i couldnt go out and have a RL during the week b/c ive gotta fucking go to work.
Pictures, or it didn't happen.

(Or do you just go to watch and don't actually workout?)

The point is, do you want something to strive for or something handed to you on a silver platter? Hell how about we cut off the crust and spoon feed it to you in bed while we are at it!

The problem that a zone like this introduces is not only a degradation of loot, but also of encounters. With loot of this quality easily gotten it makes other encounters difficulty no longer balanced (assuming they were in the first place, hah!). This is because they were created with a specific mindset of what you should have at that point to attempt them. This feeds back into the first point.

This makes the game worse for everyone. Sure, the have nots get something quick and fast. Great, that lasts a week, now what are you going to do? It speeds up the pace of a game that is already running out of content for more and more players as the month’s progress. Most would say to fast.

The point is not that Ubers want all the loot for themselves. It is that if you hand this type of gear out it imbalances what already exists worse than it already is. If there is no carrot on the stick, why pull the cart? Sure there is the journey, but if you have climbed that hill a dozen times the journey gets old fast!

So what happens when you get a job? You started at the same time as someone else, with the same credentials, same schooling, equal oppurtunities.

Do you deserve a promotion if you didn't work as hard as the other person? Fuck no.

The guy above me basically nailed it on the head.

You want them to understand concept that higher difficulty = better rewards?

You want them to understand you, be prepared to understand them. Fat chance of either happening I'd say.

I completely understand what they want. They want to skip T1-T3, VP, Trak, Avatars b/c when accepting the terms of agreement they were under the impression that if they paid $15 dollars a month they didnt have to play they game in order to get items.

I don't know why anyone is so surprised at the resistance to the outcry over the loot in this easy zone. This kind of attitude is pervasive in society especially in America today. Just listen to the message of the front-running Democrats, Clinton and Obama. They are telling people that those that have worked hard to attain success are bad and don't deserve to enjoy the fruits of their labor. They say that everyone deserves the same slice of the pie regardless of whether they have worked for it or not. Its sad.

Fantasy does imitate reality.
