200M all won't give you 'true happiness' just like a religious belief or mindset would give. But neither does a study, work, or even a family. I'm sure fulfiling such a huge goal does give an enourmous amount of satisfaction for years and years. 200M can be compared to doing high school twice (timewise), but takes way more willpower to wake up every morning and play for 11 hours straight. And not just playing, but as efficient as one can be. I can't speak for any contender here, but if I would accomplish such a goal right now, I'm sure 10 years from now I would look back and be proud that I sticked to the goal I set, a goal thousands of people couldn't reach. Of course you're right, Suomi is probably smart enough to realise that he won't get anything more out of all this except for satisfaction. I feel a sense of disgust from you towards the contenders, correct me if I'm wrong. But even Obama won't find true happiness in being boss of the world ;). I don't think these players will get much satisfaction or fulfillment out of max xp but if they really do then I am wrong to criticise them. I certainately find work more pleasing then rs, even if it requires a lot of effort I am happy with the work I have done and am pleased to see a project progressing as the weeks go by. If these players are having fun doing what they are doing then I would have to say that I think highschool takes more will power. And fyi these players play no where near as efficient can be, perhaps some play as focussed as can be but not efficient. Personally I think the opposite in that Suomi realises that all he will get out of this is fun but not so much satisfaction or fulfillment at that. Since it seems he plays more for fun than achievement. I do think that if Obama left his term as President knowing that he had changed the world for the better he would have a great sense of pride.
