Let's go with you argument Moises. You are correct, you can play the game as you want, within the limits of the ToS. However if you are going to look at one aspect as a business, then you have to look at the entire thing as a business.

Let's say for argument's sake, you have allocated 3 or 4 hours of your real life schedule to spend on the game. Again perfectly valid. But if in that game you are constantly operating to maximize the payout of fame, then to spend 3 hours bashing away at a single event is counter to everything stated about the maximization strategy.

Those three hours have an opportunity cost associated with them. And while they may be the best 3 hours you spend with the game, if your state goal is reward maximization in your time spent with the game, then that blows up your strategy.

The opportunity cost of those three hours is 6 10-lap races, which, if you use the agent for each is 340,000 fame, versus winning 1,400 fame rerunning an event for 3-hours. Even if you didn't force quit or cloud restore, that would only probably amount to 90,000 to 100,000 fame with all of the 2nd place finishes.

I can't speak to the opportunity cost lost for a perpetual endurance, as I don't run them, but is likely a similar loss.

Many view ME7 as a guru here, and I am pointing out that the emperor's clothes may be a little bit see through. ME7 does provide a lot of good advice, but it isn't always consistent, and it doesn't always benefit a broader segment of the people who come here looking for advice.

If you don't like me pointing it out, sorry, but too bad. My goal here is to provide information that benefits the most people looking for advice, and if a few egos get bruised in the process but it serves the greater good of the community, then so be it.
