I mean TBH James, I know you aren't making much money cuz your with that IDC, and you read those lamo noob help threads on Church of SimCountry. John Fire/Scarlet, the author of those manuals, never made half the bank I made, and he was playing longer than me. I mean, if you are a n00b, then those manuals are very good to start with. 90% of the information there is adapted from Sim 3.0 and is obsolete info by now. Not that he made any success in 4.0 which is proly why he left(Just a guess IDK}....
Forget your emotions, and what you think you know.
There is a clear example to compare the 2 methods of wealth accumulation(if you can even, count raiding, bah!)
There, my CEO with almost no effort, is set to make around 900gc this month!
List for me the process of each 'click' and time spent rading. Let me know how much you make 'on average, per c3, and at what war level' I think you are at level 3. And anyone following the method will most likely be new and no higher than war level 3 at best.
let me know when you exchange cash from raiding for even, let's just say half of my projected CEO earnings... 450.
I log in 2 twice a day, to buy a booster, purchase some supplies, and watch my money grow.
Less than 15-20 clicks and I'm outta here.
Next Real month, if you are close to exchanging cash from raiding for 450 gc. Just know I was doing nothing while you were breaking your mouse, and killing your eyes.
No comparison, my son.
