Usually I have the feeling that most PoE nerds are useless, unemployed 30y virgins but since you all have a job I might have been wrong all the time :D You can safely assume most people who can summon the patience and discipline to play PoE over a prolonged period of time also have the patience and discipline to work. Can't say playing PoE regularly and having a job guarantees not being a virgin though. You have to be realistic about these things.

Well Iam married, have a child, a very nice job, even friends and playing football in a team and I still manage to play PoE a lot. But when I see people farming uber atziri when I didnt even manage to do merc lab in a new league I get that strange picture of fat, ugly, jobless students in my picture :)	Posted by raggapaul#2152 on Dec 8, 2016, 10:12:03 AM Quote this Post

Not necessarily, no. You have to be realistic about these things. Logen Ninefingers	Posted by Bars#2689 on Dec 8, 2016, 10:31:24 AM Quote this Post
Sure it is, same like when I played CS:GO. Everyone that is better, is a no-life nerd :)	Posted by raggapaul#2152 on Dec 8, 2016, 10:57:39 AM Quote this Post
" iswirl wrote: ~188842.48 USD a year; ~25000 Canadian I work in Logistics for a SUPER large IT company. Benefits I pay %30 of all cost. Better than nothing. 50 cent raise a year. No pension. In my Province, we have %15 tax on almost everything- almost highest in Country. Fun fact- been paying on student loans for a while. Today I got mail from government saying I do not have to pay for 6 months cause 25000 is poor Yup. Happy December for me and my extra dough lmao Well I can tell you don't work as an accountant! ~188,842.48 USD ~25,000 CAD would mean the the current exchange rate for 1 CAD is 7.55 USD. I know Canada is very appealing for a lot of people following the election but I didn't know things had improved quite that much! :) I think you may have one too many digits in your numbers :)	Posted by Aldora_the_Summoner#4021 on Dec 8, 2016, 2:33:00 PM Quote this Post

My thoughts are that most countries out of the Soviet Block and Eastern Europe have pretty decent standards and people can live quite well without working their asses off 6 days a week. In Bulgaria for example the minimum wage is 210 Euro and the minimum pension is around 80 euro (max being around 500euro). So it's quite hardcore league here. :)	Posted by Spartacus1337#4472 on Dec 10, 2016, 3:56:49 AM Quote this Post
