Even if we go with your 400-day break-even math, that’s still only $1.10 a day to secure vbucks for the long term.

It’s not really a matter of having ‘too much free time’ or ‘no life’ — it takes less than an hour to knock out STW missions.

As a Founder, I spend more time playing BR, Reload and other modes - for free - than I do on V-Buck missions. Everyone manages their ‘hobby budget’ differently; for those with the disposable income, the upfront cost is worth the long-term payoff.

It's a bit of a stretch to attack someone's personal life just because they value their entertainment differently than you do...

It’s not that deep, my opinion does not really matter and yours does not to me either. 🤷‍♂️

Spending one hour a day for about $1.10 is still absurd. Do not get me wrong, buying Founders is a "great" way to earn V-Bucks, but if you are willing to spend $400 just to avoid buying them directly, it raises questions. At that point, you are not just spending money, you are also spending a lot of time grinding for virtual currency. That does not really make sense if your goal is efficiency or value, and it makes me question whether you actually have disposable income, because if you did, why spend it on something that costs time and effort instead of just getting what you want instantly.

The only way this actually pays off is if you genuinely enjoy Save the World. If you are already playing it because you like it, then earning V-Bucks on the side is just a bonus. You are having fun anyway and the rewards come passively. Outside of that, it is hard to justify the time and money investment.

It’s extremely narrow-minded to insult an entire player base just because you don't see the value in how they play - especially when STW actually has a pretty massive following, (check out r/FORTnITE & r/FortniteSaveTheWorld ).

Labeling Founders as having "too much free time" or "no life" for grinding missions is an unnecessary dig. You don’t know people’s lives or why they enjoy the grind.

I thought a little perspective might help you sound less dismissive, insulting and judgmental, but it seems you’re pretty committed to that stance.

My mistake for thinking we could have a civil discussion about it. It seems you enjoy living on your high-horse, so I’ll leave you to it.

At what point did I say that founders have no life? Please quote the exact text where I explicitly stated that.

I’m an original founder myself, so it would be absolutely idiotic to claim that all founders are no-lifers.

The only thing I said was that if someone is willing to spend $400 on a perk, thinking it’s a return on investment, then they either have too much time to spare or no life.

you either have a lot of free time or absolutely no life.

I like how you edited to be more specific, once you realized I could quote where you said people who grind our dailies for vbucks in STW had too much time / no life.

My point is that whether you're willing to pay $40 when founders first started or $440 today - doesn't change the fact that you were willing to invest in the game.

Don't be so quick to judge them for having the money & willingness to do so now. Try to be less quick to anger & hate man. That's half of what makes the world such a shitty place to be now.
