    Actually, by her logic, the person who works one hour a day works a position/time that is largely unwanted, and gets a higher wage. However, given that she only works one hour a day, she will still net far, far less money than your eight hour brethren.

    This world is called 'real life', and yes, it sucks as much as you think it does.

    I'm allergic to effort.

    Why the individual in the unwanted position paid a higher wage? Your example seems analogous to an overnight shift differential. I would interpret that more as waking up at 3:17 am to camp Fafnir windows. Then you're reaping increased rewards.

    I often frolic in this real world... working full time, going to school full time, and maintaining a family. I am definitely a casual player if you look at only my time availability; and I really enjoy accessing the difficult to obtain rewards. However, I understand that MMOs are just a time sink. All of the attainable goals within them are dependent on how much time & repetition you pour in. If people are willing and/or able to put in more time (for a game) then more power to them. They should be rewarded more for putting more time in.

    I do not feel that my performance should be artificially inflated simply because I put less time in.
