Addiction:
according to dictionary.com:
the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma

Now, I don't believe "severe trauma" will befall anyone who
decided to retire from the misadventure this eRep experience
has become. So exactly what is it that brings back the masses
day in and day out to a game that is as fixed as the slots of
your local casino.

Now, I'm all for the makers of this experiment making as much $
as one can make, or anyone else in RL, but the design of the
experience should drive the desire to indulge in items that
make money for the makers, not to the point of painting everyone
into a corner that only assures funability through the golden beast.

Now, I'm open... I have never bought into the golden beast.
Won't ever do it. But from my pathetic position, I believe the
only sustainability a game like this has is from the players
who don't invest RL money into it. The freeloaders keep it alive.
For if there be not an enemy, the golden beasters will just
take their RL $ to some other internet adventure.

The experiment experience is dying... dying... dying...
