Nerds built this forum so you had a place to call nerds... nerds.. fail?

you've already failed at explaining the UK education system, in a form that represents itself perfectly.
(a retarded one)
The term nerd in my previous post was a generalisation of people who feel they need to be r50 in all classes and use exploits (*read* free game) to get there.
The sooner SE starts charging, the sooner these nerds have to pay for their mis-chief with real life $$$...
something they obviously are lacking in, or have to much of. lol
And yes, Arc Tea exploited the free-to-play aspect of this game. (And the fact craft bot is totally out of control and rampant)
SE better make an example of them.
Dunesfolk for months....
Explain to me where I failed? The government pay for my living costs and my student costs, and it is as simple as that, the required payback rates are so low that you cant pay it off in a life time due to standard inflation. So you dont pay it back.Also keep below 15k a year and you dont even pay back a penny, keep below 20k a year and your phone contract will be more expensive than your student loans.
So, if I said to you that it is possible to start up your own little RMT empire while the game is still free. Ranking yourself up faster and more effciant that anyone else in the game - you'd think I was giving out legit-pro tips on how FFXIV should be played??? OR the latter - it was an unforseen exploit waiting to be torn open by one of the OCD members of SEs player base.
Just curious which side of the fence you fall on.
And to answer for need of "proof" (despite it being obvious, do the math..)
All actions in game are on a log, that can back-date god knows how long. They can just look over all your actions in game an determine if you're legit or not. Did anyone not hear of re-roll in FFXI?
Still that sounds awful. I did 500 hasty hand synths breaking crystals and tiger cod the other day and it was the most boring thing ever. It took about 8 hours because I wasn't doing it super fast and took breaks to eat, browse the net etc. When I'm going full speed I can average a synth every 30 seconds. I don't know how you can get that down to 20.
You also had to buy the lightning shards, all 66.6k of them. So to make 40mil profit you'd have had to sell about 60mil worth of shards increasing the totals even more. That now becomes 100k lightning shards.
Man when I was at uni I used to go out partying 3-5 nights a week. I'd never have time for an MMO if I was a student. It's the best time of your life, you don't want to be sat playing a game with net friends.
Only if you plan to get a job in McDonalds when you graduate. £15k is nothing these days and will be minimum wage in a couple decades. Most people will graduate and get a decent salary at some point and pay it all off. I wouldn't bother going to uni if I thought I'd earn so little that I'd never pay my loans off.
PS. I am from the UK too.
hah I know i should go get a life lol do to much at home with work and then assignments that im at pc most of the time. :( most of my friends are mmoers
People earn that low to avoid paying loans back.
And even if I went and got a 30k job, the repayment would be £100 a month .... thats nothing when ur getting 30k lol. You'd not even see it since its paid before you get paid.
Also not to mention Freelance wages are not included, and you can earn a bucket load there, I make about 10k / year in freelance, so add that onto my 14995 job and thats 25k without paying any fees back lol And its taken off by the time your 45.
