If overall int 70% are worth 5/6 as much, then they are 500 mesos each.
It's still equivalent, just on a smaller scale. Money is useful because it can be traded for items and redistributed (5:6 values, 1 item for 3, etc.), it's not inherently valuable.
Stereo Wrote:& as for 9 to 5 vs. "investment" it's not jealousy, it's a lifestyle. I won't be a part of ripping off noobs, it's not worth the money. I realize my value system is kinda different from your typical capitalist "pineapple the peons, I'm a grab as much cash as I can get and it's their own fault they're poor".There is a major contradiction here (bolded/underlined). If you're "ripping off noobs" (by your standards), then it's their own fault that their poor. And lol, it's not like people don't have brains. They willingly sold it to you. That's enough to consider it a legitimate trade.
A scam is something gained by deceit. As mentioned in the last page, no deceit was involved.
Please think before you speak. Your logic is completely flawed and it would appear that you're only speaking through anger. No wonder you sympathize for those who don't or can't think for themselves.
