If a goal is too easy and achieving it only leads to unhappiness, while a goal that is difficult and causes you to struggle causes great happiness when achieved, which was truly the better goal for the mind, body, and spirit, each separately, and also as a whole?

The easy path, of course, as House thrives off unhappiness.

Herborist Wrote:You're turning a subjective question into an objective one. It may seem too easy for you, but many people don't agree. We don't all believe that it's "too easy" and "leads to unhappiness." In fact, because of BB, I'll be able to switch to my best friend's server and play with him - something I have done in almost 6 years. I'll be able to get to paladin status, something I've been coveting for a long time.

I got to the 160's with the old method, and I didn't use 2x cards or family rep. Am I happy? Do I feel like I've achieved anything? No, I'm just bored of the game and looking for something more fun to do. With BB, I can just make a new character and experience the fun all over again.



House doesn't thrive off of unhappiness, House is afraid of being happy because it's a foreign thing to him after being in so much pain and agony because of his leg.

He's a decent human being who can be a superficial jerk at times because he's bitter. Look at his decisions instead of his words: he does everything for his patient, even if he hates them; he even puts his job in jeopardy to save some random guy off the street.

I have most of my mesos on one account. Is it better to disperse it to other accounts or just keep it where it is? :|

Jamie_Kurosawa Wrote:Why not ask for more content such as a new area that's more geared for your level, some extra ways to stack 2x methods, more repeatable quests that yield high levels of EXP, etc.

Heck I sent in a feature request to Nexon for adding a mini-dungeon featuring Afterlord Type As in Neo-City.

And as for House's possible answer:

The easy path is too easy. Why else would it be easy? It's the wrong answer. The hard way is wrong too. It's hard because it takes the backwards approach to reasoning and logic which makes no sense. The correct answer is the path off to the side which nobody cared to or thought to look for and was too careless to realize that was even there to begin with.

However it's not a question for House I'm asking. I'm asking the player. Which makes you feel better when you do it?

Herborist Wrote:The moment you suggested a way to stack more 2x cards, which is encouraging us to spend more money, I decided to ignore you and support BB more. The game needs to be less grind, and it will be. End of story. Anyone who says anything else is butthurt.

SaptaZapta Wrote:Actually, I did the math, and it looks like the game will be more grind for me.
Right now I need to kill 82k COGs to level. After BB I will only need to kill 51k of them. Less grind? No. Because right now I train on family 2x (I have enough rep mules so I never have to train on 1x), so I only need to kill 41k. Also, the current COGs have 141k HP and I 2-hit them. Post BB COGs have 390k HP and it remains to be seen whether I can still 2-hit or will slow down to 3 hits or more.
Finally, right now I have the alternative of hunting bigfoot to level, faster than grinding at COGs, if I can catch the the bigfeet before other hunters do. As of the latest Tespia patch, that option is no longer available. The only way for me to level is to grind.

It might get better then Lionheart Castle is released. But until then, BB is going to require me to grind more to level. That's not me being butthurt, that's a fact.
