Technically, the wildskeeper reives are NMs and they're not force pop.

Didn't read a thing I said, now did you? You just saw "summer student" and thought poor, stupid, or cheap service labour; never once thinking about the fact that FFXI and or SE might be wanting to- and be able to- invest in someone young an inexperienced. Or rather,hiring one of their children for the child's summer vacation?

You missed the point and focused on race relations, like an idiot. <.<`

Congratulations: you just deprived someone of having a future at a world classed company, and destroyed any hope of help for them and of their future families because you thought that they were being exploited instead of being given an advantage over others, more so: over themselves.

You never stopped to think that it just might be valuable to the summer student to be able to program for an MMO; not just in terms of money: but because they are a student getting to see *how* an MMO get's put together from the internal perspective. . . well done, you've made the world more poor instead of less poor.

It's simple and cheap because SE already has all of the character models and most of the labor is done, it just has to be installed and tested, not developed from scratch, which takes time.

Learn to run a company instead of being its cheap exploited labor.
