The club is a state of mind. I've crossed the billion influence line multiple times (when it hits 10 figures, it starts burning a hole in my pocket) and I don't feel any need to post a screenshot.

This is how I usually end up overpaying for salvage:
I'm crafting a recipe I spent millions of inf on and I need one more piece of salvage so I can make the thing and get back to playing. The temptation to BUY NAO can be strong.
And lets face it, in the current economy dropping a few hundred thousand inf on a hunk of salvage is the equivalent of tipping the valet 5 bucks to park your car.
Yeah they'll park it for less, but who wants to look like a cheapskate? -

Nobody ever dies for real in comics.
They could make a great storyline out of bumping off Statesman, then bring him back in the next issue or something. -

post-I16 idea for efficient solo TF merit farming:
migrate my plant/fire dom over to Paragon and hit Positron like an avalanche.
He'd have Seeds of Confusion & pretty good AoE capability, he could clean house on all those annoying spawns. -

You don't need to be logged in to see what's going on here, only to post (unless that changed with the new forums). But since Benedict "Statesman" Arnold is now a traitorous competitor, they probably banned him so he can't post on that red-named account/have moderator privileges.

I think it's the only place in Paragon City you can run up a suspension bridge cable and down the other side. -

Wouldn't this still cause naming problems? Like wouldn't Heroman on Freedom have trouble if he joined some buddies for a misison on Virtue if there was already a Heroman on Virtue?
My fave from the past is the 'server tag', adding the server of origin to player info to differentiate between the various alternate reality versions of heroes & villains. -

So, please keep driving those prices up. We're all depending on you.

I haven't made a ton of use of MA, but I have run some really excellent farming maps, and I've also run some really excellent story arcs, and not just from the Dev's Choice stable.
I don't understand the tendency for people to insist MA is this one thing, or this other thing- it's EVERYTHING, tied up with a big sloppy ribbon.
The most legitimate complaint you can make about it is that finding what you're after can be a pain because the plethora of content on offer is so vast. -
this is generating in me an unhealthy desire to play all the Devs Choice arcs and rate them in comparison to the 'real' content.

i'd like a bit of elaboration on these two points, specifically
1) what is "the same well"?
Whatever you've got.Quote:2) is "a commercial entity" referring to the provider(s) of addictive things, addictive games, this game, or something else entirely?
Business exist to make money, not to worry overmuch about the niceties of who they're making money off. Casinos, bars, MMO companies, religions....they all take advantage of people with certain predispositions. -
Quote:Addiction is addiction, whether the problem is a game you don't enjoy playing or an unrealistic body image you will never be satisfied with.Originally Posted by _____
you just compared the op's sort of "joyless farming" to actual psychological compulsions
that's an odd analogy to make, especially considering bulimia is something that we try to treat because it can result in death
The outward manifestation of the problem may be different and obviously some are more immediately dangerous than others, but they spring from the same well.
I know quite a few people who've lost jobs, blown relationships, dropped out of school and generally messed up their lives with video game addictions.
I disagree that a commercial entity should be responsible for 'looking out' for these kinds of people, but they do exist. -
Sam, at this point I think it's safe to say you're an Army of One. =P
I'm happy the game still has content you find interesting, even if your reasons for liking it are opaque & inexplicable to most of us. -
I really like 'derp derp' as the placeholder sound for the financially incompetent, and fully intend to steal it from you for future use.
