1600 euro month is the average salary in europe.
1600 euro for used car is pretty standard price for 300 000 Km used cars. I don t see what is so special about those numbers.

Good for you op but I think Arpgs are not games you can play 1h a days, at least not poe or D2 seasons

It probably has less to do with the salary thing, and more to do with the shallow nature of the post.

Hey everyone, check out this [shallow facade], and here is my [actual reason for posting to prop up my fragile ego].

This is just another forum game... trying to see how many people he can get into trouble. Best way to win is not to play.

If you only have 1 hour a day for games, why are you wasting time with this one?

Let me show you how it's done...

They didn't specify which country they're in, so 9x salary might not actually be relatively that much. Also, for all you know, maybe they already do. Please stop with the whataboutism.

Spend some of that money on time away from work, so you have more than 1 hour a day for leisure activities.

Uh-oh, serious answer. Good one too. True wealth isn't having money. True wealth is having the resources to do what you want, stress-free.

I'm still not convinced it was a flex. And that's coming from me, master flexer of Path of Exile. I'm not sure what it was though.

That's a little bit presumptuous, don't you think? Plenty of people who aren't merry have children. And even if they are merry, they sure as fuck probably won't be afterwards. I had parents. I KNOW.

Buy some friends to play with you.

Yeah, I tried that. It was called 'Bird Lovers of Wraeclast'. And I didn't even really want them to play with me. Just chat with me. And occasionally point out how awesome I am.

Needless to say, that didn't end well.

This is morally correct but the long-term result is opposite, the less fortunate will breed more and end up filling the world with more unfortunate people.

OP, you should pay your diablo friends an hourly wage to play POE with you, this is the best result for everyone.

Well I think you meant well but that wording was...problematic. There's a word starting with E that comes to mind...

This is probably the best idea.

Pay your 3 best friends the average salary to play POE.

This way you are still making 6x the average salary so you're all good for life. AND you get your friends playing POE full-time.

And your friends can quit their jobs and play POE full-time while still earning the average salary.

Win-win all round.

Except that they'd constantly feel like they're being PAID to do something that really shouldn't be a job. I doubt they'd enjoy that very much. Not to mention it'd create a fucked up power dynamic...can you really just 'have fun' with the person who's paying you? You can pretend, at least.

With one hour per day, Dota is the game for you.

Completely agree. Newbie-friendly, intuitive gameplay, very much a pick up and go sort of experience. That or FFXIV.

You stopped playing a few months ago, have 1 hour per day to play, and got 21 challenges... presumably since yesterday? Sounds legit.

Apart from that, I personally would not recommend playing PoE for 1 hour per day unless you already possess a vast amount of game knowledge, and even then... questionable. 1 hour per day means you can hardly engage in trade (which would also cut into your effective play time), and the game is designed for grinding a lot.

Before we jump to any conclusion, it's hard to tell if it is a flex. If OP lives in Burundi, that would mean the person makes 6.6k USD per year.

Precisely my first thought: maybe they're from somewhere where the average salary isn't all that much. Maybe not Burundi. I was thinking more South Asia, but yes.

Assuming you can't quit the celery, I hear customer support in the video games sector is always an option.

What a strange way to brag about your salary. I'm happy for you, just remember that money isn't everything - and that your job is only a tool that enables you to enjoy the rest of your life. But hey, if your job is your life - and you enjoy it - all power to you.

When it comes to D2 or PoE, I would think you're able to make that choice yourself. Or maybe you could pay someone to play PoE for you, while playing D2 yourself.

I adore your earnestness. I really do. I always have. I just wish you'd give it to those who appreciate it. Also, Capricorn is in retrograde and Mercury is rising, so avoid cold roads and expect someone with a bouquet to compliment your trees. Your lucky number for today is 35.

OP RESPONDS! Okay, it was a flex.

I'm not sure why you're so fussed about pay to win. Airsoft is pay to win, isn't it? You have to put money in and the more you put in, the better gear you can get/hire. I find your condemnation of p2w computer games hypocritical when you clearly play a p2w game in real life. Also, as you've sort of obliquely pointed out, life itself is p2w, and you're clearly winning with all your hypothetical used cars.

Play Lost Ark! You'll never have a more enjoyable 1 hour a day.

Is it though? I mean, we don't know the OP. What exactly do they have to lose here? I sometimes wonder who gets 'embarrassed' online. What sort of person. I do, it's true, because I never get embarrassed in real life because I never interact with other people if I can help it and I'm rich so most days I just do...this....but I reckon most people online don't. They get embarrassed enough in real life and just cut loose here.

Are you surprised, though? The salaries people earn in this world feel pretty unfair for probably a majority of them, add onto that the current inflation rates... income spreads are pretty obscene, particularly in the US and some other parts in the world, maybe less so in parts of Europe and, as far as I can tell, particularly northern Europe.

I am content with what I earn, but I am not surprised that a lot of people are not. I still think the TO is a troll, though, so no need to get infuriated.

People just like an excuse to talk about stuff that matters to them. Money/Salary matters to a lot of people. This thread provided. Aren't you thankful?

I honestly think you're overselling the simplicity of this game. Then again, overselling things is how people get rich so maybe you're onto something.

Nah, he's not trying to get people 'into trouble'. See above re: overselling. We've both seen THOSE sorts of threads. This isn't one of them. And you know it. Which I think is why you said it -- to try to make it one of those threads. Nice try, Dr Claw.

See this is why you're not making 10k a month, you'd pay for a dietitian. gotta think in *rich* >.>

Dude, I said 'SEE', not 'pay for'. FTR I do see a dietitian for free -- it's part of an Australian medical scheme for chronically ill people. We get 5 free consultations with certain medical practitioners a year based on our specific conditions, and mine's very much gut-related.

But you are largely correct: rich isn't having lots of money. Rich is not having to spend any and not having to work. I am rich. OP is merely well-paid; they still have to work.

And that, friends and Exiles, is how you weird flex but ok.

exactly why would anyone pay a dietitian, that literally sounds like a bullshit profession from the getgo

yamface wrote:

See above. And it's really not. You might own a body but you don't really know how all its bits and pieces work. Things can go wrong, especially with the plumbing. You COULD research online but you'd probably end up confused. For example, common wisdom is that cherry tomatoes are bad for gout. Go on, look it up. But my particular gout, cherry tomatoes are fine, it's spinach that sets it off. (I know, gout's not about the plumbing but you honestly don't want me to give examples of that).

I only learned that from talking to my dietitian.

And for your information, to become an accredited dietitian, you typically need to have a *postgraduate* degree. That means not just university level education, but post-grad work. You can call that 'bullshit' if you want, but the medical profession says otherwise. Average salary for a dietitian is 60k USD a year. It's not quite 16k euros a month but it's definitely not 'bullshit'.

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/dietitians-and-nutritionists.htm#tab-2 -- and since I know you won't click that, here's what it says:

"

Dietitians and nutritionists are experts in the use of food and nutrition to promote health and manage disease.

I imagine you probably thought it was just like the food equivalent of a personal trainer, promoting kombucha and acai berries. No, these are medically-trained people who directly negotiate the connection between dietary intake and managing existing illnesses. If anything, dietitians HATE the idea of 'wonderfoods'. They know it's a balancing act, a complicated process.

And I know I like pizza and she can't do a thing to stop me from eating it...now and then. Do I regret it afterwards? OF COURSE. Does it stop me? Helllll no.

Also, kind of rude to call someone else's job a 'bullshit profession', don't you think? For all you know, there might be a dietitian reading this. Be a little less uncivil, eh?

:D

That's because you don't see the difference between 16k and 1.6k.

BTW, I would love to sell you my old graphics card for (worth 0.2k) for 1.6k, it's a killer deal ;).

Why not also work that 1 hour a day instead of playing games, so you can earn 9.5xtimes the celeries?

Can make some good soup from those!
