    Well.....that encourages you to do more pvp then
    Can the random items be traded with ppl? CoD style? If that's the case...then at least it's a way to do it.
    Otherwise....yh, have fun with the forge

    Of course, if the interview with Toyota goes well, I'll finally break my longest unemployed streak ever.
    If I had been without a job for two years I think I'd just start working for free. Anything to have something to do with my time.

    Well, at least I referee soccer games on weekends, but I don't really count that as employment.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    I've been without full time employment going on 4 years. Just been scraping by with part time stuff. My 3 degrees don't amount to much anymore it seems.

    Unless you're in a degree field like engineering or statistics, or some other applicable science/math based field... then the degree is pretty meaningless unless you go Masters/PhD. Of course that may be my jaded opinion. Hell, coming out of college I made more money working as a chef than actually using my Bachelors.

    Move to Asia or Africa. They're handing out well paid jobs for specialists by the trunk load.

    Heh, I actually have two masters. But you get into the quandary of overqualified but yet under-experienced.

    I'm actually thinking of going to S. Korea to teach English. I have a friend who did, ended staying there for a long while and getting married.

    That's a good option yh. Got lots of friends in Asia who have done a similar thing...and it's still ridiculously easy to get an English teaching job. You don't need it...but look into TEFL...helps.
    Also...with 2 masters, you could teach those subjects in English and prob make double.

    As I said, you dont go into a store looking for a sweater and the only thing you get is a random clothing bag which just happens to have clothes you cant use. There is no fun in that at all.
    If they count on that everyone will have to use the mystic forge to get what they want then the system is obviously flawed.
    I don't get the whining since you can create the exact piece of armor you want.
    + I love the randomness of the loot bags (very much)

    I think it highly depends on what degree you have.

    See, the sad thing is, if I hadn't screwed up my life to begin with, I'd have a computer science degree, which is one of the best degrees to have right now. I need to get my ass in gear.

    Yea, a computer science degree is what I'm going for. I figured that with my current work experience it would be my only chance of ever finding a job And it's something I enjoy anyway.

    If I could get a job in a computer repair store, I probably would be happy with my life. Wouldn't be the ideal job (*eyes MMORPG/MOBA developer positions*), but I would be content.
