There were many before you and there will be many following you. The game cares not for who you are, but for how long you can be a good little cog in the system. Bonus points if you can be useful in some way. And, the more hours you put in, the more you care making it more difficult to leave. A vicious cycle of sorts.

It takes countless hours from your life and turns you into little more than who you despise. The only difference is that you are the manual repeating script instead of operating the repeated script. You are just manually doing what bots do. But, one input, one output. That is all that matters, right? Meanwhile, they are running scripts and programs to generate data on you to make sure you stay hooked and paying. And, as soon as you understand this and relate to this, it is already too late. As said before, you care too much to leave - even when you know you should.

I only got out when a massive change occurred that rendered the power the game had over me useless. You can hope for the same thing, or you can choose now.

Take the blue pill and continue on trying to be an efficient little machine for the most xp/hour, cash/hr or whatever you are trying to be the most efficient at.

Or

Take the red pill and enter into the real world where maximizing efficiency by running macros to do the mind-numbing tasks of manually clicking, entering in or other repetitive tasks is not only allowed but greatly encouraged by several of the wage paying masters (Or yourself, should you choose to be a wage paying master).

Side note: to be clear I am not encouraging botters. This is just a fun and fake take on how automation is viewed in the real world as opposed to games like Runescape. I don't actually view Runescape like this at all. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Ok, it's good that I read the post fully before commenting!

Another quite similar funny take is the people who consider the game as a work, e.g. "If you want a partyhat, you should work for it". Someone could play 10 hours a day for years to achieve a partyhat. Then they could be proud how they have worked very hard. In reality they were playing a video game 10 hours a day :P

If you have to call something "work" how can it really be fun?

I dont work at anything in game... I play a lot in game but i never work.

Just thought i would comment too. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.
