The Question

Would you still go to work if you didnt know what you were getting paid?

Lets say you come to work for me, you get to pull a payroll check from a bag. For the most part 80% of the checks are for 1 dollar, 10% are for 100 dollars, 9% is 200 dollars, 1% is 500 dollars.

Or could it be

80% are for 500 dollars and 20% are even less money to the 1% chance of nothing.

The New Tequatl is a minimum time investment of 4 hours, 1 if your lucky.

Note: Me personally, Id rather know how much my check will be, rather than gamble if I will have power, television, internet, food and water.

So why do we accept this in entertainment, a leisure hobby that consumes time? Time which could have been used elsewhere, with a more successful fun factor and better risk versus rewards situation.

Let me know what you all think

Because I choose to, because instead of complaining on the forums about it, I focused on finding people who also wanted to beat him and joined them, so that I don’t have to wait for hours to achieve it.
And before anyone points out they have lives and whatnot, I can say most of us do, too.

It’s a game, man. You can’t compare it to work, because you’re forced to work if you want to feed yourself.
In a game, you get to pick what content to do and what to ignore. No one’s forcing you to try and beat Tequatl.

Ive already beat him, but just pointing out it is a game, with a criteria that when compared with work has far stricter criteria.

Look at the point of this event, its to bring the community together, to a degree it has brought us together, but at what impact has it brought us together.

You deem this as a complaint, but in fact this isnt a complaint, just a mere realistic view in comparison to how this world really is.

And lastly, if you like how things are, its much better to just state it as “I love how things are”, but respectfully, I just dont share your thoughts.

Thanks for your consideration.

I still haven’t beaten him… nor actually managed to get on my home server. I keep coming back. Hell, in Overflows I’ve seen him pop twice in a single hour. They both failed, but so what.

Having failed to get into a main server event (Bar once, that failed anyway) since Tequatl was released, and still not having killed Tequatl , it no longer feels like work it feels like torture.

Jumping puzzles, love them or hate them, I hate them. Thread killer.

The flaw in the comparison being I work for the cash payout. I play gw2 for the fun, not the cash payout. If rewards are your ends to your means you’re analogy needs reworking.
