I never taught them to blame the system they deciphered that themselves, they told me they are done and why and that they can be removed from my disciple list if I wanted to remove them. I never blamed them one bit for their choice because frankly I see the same thing they are seeing.
If you see the same thing they are seeing you probably shouldn't be mentoring.
Look. It's pretty simple.
The system is geared over the long term to make every player pay. 90% returns over time are a pretty well established expectation, and to be honest a pretty reasonable one. We as players pay a maintenance fee to keep the servers in operation.
The only way players can consistently make money in this game is by finding ways to outsmart the system and conduct a profitable business within EU by forging relationships with other players. The systems job is to challenge players to do this.
Nothing personal. I'm sure youre a great person. I'm sure your 2 years of data within EU are telling you that you are spending money, and you are likely 100% correct there. You are spending money.
It took me over 2 years before I started to see consistent returns, and now at almost 4 years I am at a point where my avatar value exceeds my total deposits, and at the end of August I will have actually broken financially even on my expenditures while consistently watching my avatar grow. Anything after that is pure profit.
I dont know your particular playstyle. Im not even going to guess. What I am saying is your assessment may be based on a faulty assumption. You may be looking for the system to pay you back, or keep things fair. That's not its job. If you're looking at the system to act as an arbiter, you are playing the game wrong IMHO.
