It's not fair to bash on him, because he plays differently than you do.
How do you know that 20 k ped that's sitting on his card, didn't used to be 50k on his card as a normal thing. YOU DON'T - so he very well could have been in a really bad cycle.
I didn't see him whine (in this thread). All he said, was he never thought he'd loot again - because of a bad cycle. In fact, a couple lines down - he says "I can't complain, at all." Which is quite the opposite of 'whinging and whining.' (whatever 'whinging' is .. I don't think that's even a word)
I had combat and mineral sense before Manique got his tower and his first 'lucky' loot. I had more skills and had been here longer, depositing ridiculous amounts of money ... but I didn't begrudge him.
While it's natural to be a little jealous - it's not fair to take it out on HIM. He is only playing the same game we are - just getting better loots; from time to time.
He is just living proof of what MA|FPC has been pushing down our throats, since day one. It's a 'free' dynamic game.
what's that totally cliche saying .. oh yea
"Don't hate the player ... hate the game."
Loot was steadly bad, but suddently I had a huge strike of 40-60% returns (Unusual!).
Congratz.
Then, next time somebody complains about such return on EF, don't rush into judging him/her as unable to hunt/mine/whatever, just remember he/she might be in a phase like the one you just had. And for some people, such phases can last for 1 year or more.
The likes of.. "I've never had such returns, you must be doing something wrong". And not necessarly about you, but about all smartarses on EF who are convinced they discovered basic artihmetics (since that's used for eco playing and auctioning, not rocket science).
About your card being even more fat, well, it was still from others' deposits. I honestly have no comfort thinking that you, as a nondepo, at some point in time had, say, 40k on card. You also know I don't have a bad opinion about you, I think we clarified that on pm. But some things must be put into perspective.
Enjoy your peds
P.S.: at least since January 1st this year I deposited the whooping sum of 10$ and played accordingly (40 mins total). You can have them all from lootpool, if it exists, no hard feelings here
Big gratz on your HOF Paulo...
I am curious if the mob was the first you shot on that hunt, or the first few? sometimes while others are killing mobs and moving forward, loot gets worse and worse on LAs as you proceed. and another hunter coming behind may get the new spawn biggie. what were u thinking? just tp ed in the middle or?
