It's been five long days since the last Insider Article! I'm slowly losing my mind, wondering which bugs the admins will fix, and which bugs will be declared "features" and left behind.

In some ways, the game hasn't changed at all. My two-clicking has turned into three-clicking. Work, Train, Relax. Isn't the game so much more interactive and engaging now that the Happiness stat has been added???
(Don't tell me I should go study at the library.. I have 9 skill and I make minimum wage in eBelgium.)

And yet in, other very important ways, the game has changed from a strategy game to a MIND BOGGLING GRIND THAT MAKES ME WANT TO SPOON MY EYES OUT. It takes hours to buy raws for my company (and for a few days, I did the two State Companies too, as the ex-Minister of State Companies), and donate it using an org. Don't tell me to buy locally either - with the insane price of raws right now, you *have* to find the cheapest deals in the eWorld if you want to stay in business.

Companies now require almost 1000 raws per day. You can buy 20 raws at a time. I feel sorry for anyone who manages more than one company. That's 50 clicks per day, per company. Even for someone with a really efficient macro, this daily chore should take over an hour.

It almost feels like eRepublik is the Buying Raws Game. That is literally ALL I DO.





PS. Hat tip to Mudduck95, who now has to buy raws for 2 State Companies, each one uses 1000+ raws per day. I admire you and I'm giddy with laughter too. Grats to CP Thore, and Mudduck95 his new Minister of State Companies. Grats man, really, grats.
