Talk:No Compromise (v7.2.0)/@comment-37538116-20190423222924

This is one of those events that made me quit ~2 years ago. And it's safe to say, the flashback didn't disappoint! As I had already collected rewards for the first four stages, I only got a total of 65 GC. Additionally, I finished at 5331313, skipping 8.5, so I've only 'gained' a total of (65 - 485 - 40 = -460 GC)! (I was at 3331313 before 8.5, but I cloud saved with the 4th and 5th Engine upgrade.)

I'm pretty sure I'm done with the next-to-impossible flashbacks from now on. What is the point in a game, where you spend 6 days playing events that are too easy, only to be stopped when you have to spend 3 hours 7.1, only to be forced to repeat the same in 7.3 (another 2 hours). And then you still spend half of the next day replaying 8.5, skipping it anyway in the end...

By spending 10 hours on three incredibly frustrating events, you are saving yourself ~12$ in skip costs (half that if you use the gold card). At this rate you are effectively paying yourself around 1/5th minimum wage. Given that it isn't even fun, I don't see why anyone is still playing this game... (myself included :/)

I used to have a long-term goal of reaching 100%, but after having completed this flashback, I've now definitely changed my mind about that; if I'm not having fun playing this game, there is no reason to continue playing, I might even completely quit again. Which is sad, because the game IS fun most of the time, except for these stupid GC-drain events and PR-requirements in career series...
