pixels

When people say others are getting obsessed by losing pixels or "it's only pixels" what they are saying is "It's only a game".

 

 

 

People rant about things they have lost and how much gold it has cost them, but at the end of the day - everything is just pixels in a game. Effectively everything is free because you can either make anything or make or gather things to sell to earn money to buy the thing you want. As the things you made or sold were free, the money is free and the thing you buy is free.

 

 

 

On the flip side - what you have actually lost is time. Anything in the game takes time to do. Be it training in slayer so you have got to level 85 and finally got a whole heap of whips to sell so you can buy a party hat. Or standing by the spinning wheel trading flax for bow strings and selling those to get money etc etc. Both take your time.

 

 

 

So, once you have got the object of your desires, you wander along, het attacked by an evil chicken, your connection laggs, you die and lose some of your stuff including this item you have been working so hard to obtain.

 

 

 

You bemoan your loss - understandable.

 

 

 

People tell you not to get soo worked up about it because "its only pixels" - so you could do it all over again if you had a mind to.

 

 

 

But each of those pixels represents time that can never be regained - so in my opionion people have a right to grieve about their lost pixels. what they are actually upset about is the loss of the time it took to obtain that particular set of pixels in the first place.

* Wisdom is a subjective term, especially in RuneScape. Take with a huge dose of salt (and weed, while you're at it. :P )

Doraemon FTW! =)
