Conventional Wisdom

Okay, in my own defense, I didn’t QUITE expect a real-life stat boost for all my trouble (though some special equipment would have been nice). The thought did occur, however, that it felt VERY natural to be doing a simple, repetitive task over and over and over again because RPGs have conditioned me for it. Let’s face it, there’s only so many ways one can kill Porings, but you can’t go changing jobs without it (why do I suddenly want to go play Ragnarok RIGHT NOW?)

(Historical Notes: I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.  The vague sensation of level grinding is one of my favorite parts of the site rebuilding process.  Also, the REAL motivation here was the same thought that motivates everything I do in real life “Oh, this might make a good comic!”)
