My opinion is that you are a KOL here, and people follow you, many blindly, without analyzing what you are saying or doing, and, again my opinion, that takes away from their enjoyment of the game.

ME7 can do this. ME7 did it this way... Then they think they should be able to replicate it, and they have no concept that what you do is next to impossible for most of them, and to make it worse, it will discourage them from trying to get to where you did. Not your problem, as it says more about their constitution than your responsibility, but I feel that KOLs should feel a responsibility to establish what reality is.

And yes. Your comments are often about Fame per Minute. You do a lot of analysis of it, and champion it, to the point of posting annoyed posts about FM closing up loop holes that you liked to use, and many adopt that form of thinking. Then, you calmly say that to challenge yourself (fair) and to save on upgrades (your stick it to the man sentiment) you spend 3 hours on a single goal, where you could have upgrade, spent 10 minutes, then invested that time in PTT or Le Mans and get a very good return for that time. I can read between the lines, but I don't know that others are quite as clear. And again, you should be able to play the game however you want, but be clear that there are people that strategize based on what you do, and in their long run progression and enjoyment of the game, it may be more in their interest to but the upgrades and move on.

I am also pretty sure that you have more than a sufficient gold balance to fully upgrade most everything, but keep that hidden (also fair), so people will get the false impression that you are doing what you do out of necessity. Chronic is, but he is clear about that, with his comments and his gold ledger. SJ is pretty clear about it too, though for him it isn't that what he does is a necessity. You have a lot more hidden from plain view... and even though Chronic and SJ are pretty open about it, not everyone sees it, you actually need to look at SJs non-SE videos and maybe check out his garage on TT to see that he is flush. At least Chronic sees that this is a concern that could be causing people to give up the fight (sorry for that one, we keep a lite rock station on in the background for the dogs, and I am picking up sappy 80s song lyrics). I guess SJ understands that too, as he made the video I asked him to, to illustrate the point.

Just scan the number of comments that cite you... Many are in appreciation, but some then devolve into a diatribe about FM, the game and greed. I even recall you using greed and greedy in your posts. That does not help the situation. You say that you usually have facts to back up what you say, but those comments have no basis in fact. Unless you have access to FM's financials, and even on EAs 10K reports, there isn't that level of detail to make any determination.

And if you read my posts the last few months, it should be clear where I am coming from.
