Even trolling needs to start with a nugget of a real issue if it's going to be effective - all you have to do is start with a little laugh at it and it can be good starting points for serious discussion
Ok so here's my start on this issue...
Having a million dollar check is outrageous. Log in. place a house. lrc suit. and thats it?
I remember when I first started playing and wanting a house really bad and it gave me something to work towards. I started as a paladin killing skeletons and zombies outside of Haven and then found Despise. Now AOS just came out, so there were literally 10 ppl in there at any given time and so many ppl down killing ogre lords that ppl were on the island taking turns.
Shortly after getting a rather small house, I found the arctic ogre lords and soon realized t hat my full dull copper armor wasn't enough for these beasts as I started to realize that I needed something a bit more, so after some looking, I found out I needed a bronze suit.... something that was effective of not only physical attacks, but cold as well.
So into Ice dungeon I went taking turns killing arctic ogre lords. I did this for a long time until I found a scimitar with 100% fire dmg ogre slayer. I fell in love with it, saved up money to buy it (probably way too much at 200k) and started making alot of money with it over time.
After a bit, I got tired of taking turns, so I got up the nerve and ventured into felucca to hoard them all to myself. I would go in and hopefully get enough money to cover my insurance and my bag of sending in case FL (the dominant red guild on pac at the time) found me.
After a year or so of me playing, I started talking to these FL members and they told me that they preferred mages, so I built one, learned to play it fairly well and then beat ImReD both times and was accepted into the guild.
After years of being in FL, I worked to become a member of the dark counsel and then finally became the gm for a short period of time. After that, I went back to college and that is what I'm doing atm. Be done in May, but back to my original point. Playing this game, learning this game, and working for everything that I have was what makes it fun. It's no different then those rich kids that get everything handed to them. Unless you work for something and reap the benefits from it, you won't fully appreciate it. How could you?
