If SE is taking away my hard work...

[Deatheye]

If for you playing the game is "hard work", maybe you should do something more fun with your time.

Unless you're a gilseller, I guess.

I really find it mind-boggling how some people come up with stuff... Show me where on the last few pages anyone talks about "hard work" please.
Let's assume someone did for the moment. Doesn't change anything.
So people invested time for "hard work", as you put it to earn money. So they actually could afford stuff they needed to invest time into the fun, or as you propably would call it, the "not so hard work" part.
No one cares if it was the time invested in a fun part or work like part that gets lost, the problem is something gets taken away.
The more time you invested the more you loose.
Basically it's the same why taxes are not fixed (at least in those countrys I know more then nothing about taxes) at the same percent values. The tax % values differ depending on your income.
