Here ya go, I have two examples I’d like to share...and I think even the simplest of minds will get it (or maybe not):

1. The whiners on here remind of the "occupy Wall Street" wastes - you are too busy crying about what you THINK you're ENTITLED to instead of actually working hard to make things happen, to contribute to society if you will. And to spell this out, the ‘occupy losers’ are equivalent to the whiners on here crying about 499, and ‘working’ equates to playing the game.

I find it amazing that you think you are owed something that didn't even exist a month ago (this being extended thug life goals). Wake up... It's a game, you are entitled to nothing...despite thinking you are - then again this is what's wrong with society, but we can discuss another day.

2. You cry babies remind me of a union, particularly the American autoworkers union, or say the Canadian postal workers union - more entitlement as above, except this time thinking you are OWED more money when you don't deserve what you're making now! Work hard, contribute, learn more, adapt....or go get a new ****ing job! And job in this example is the game...go play something else that isn't "sooooo unfair".

The mentality in both examples is a disease, the disease of entitlement, and you will never excel with this mentality, this I promise you.

Entitlement breeds laziness.

So at this point you have options:

Suck it up, realize that everything in your life, both good and bad, is a result of you and you alone. Create what you want, be the change want to see and move forward.

Or keep crying, keep thinking the world owes you something and see how that serves you...I'll guarantee it disappoints!

Now I've gone a little too deep on this topic of 499, stepped into the ‘rant zone’ and into areas beyond this game, but felt it was needed.

In layman's terms - quite crying and play the damn game already!

Seriously though I get it. The more people can get away with crying, they do it.

Darn, you beat me to it. I wanted to get my post in 2nd. But yes...now we wait

NERD RAGE!!!!!!!!!!

Bwuahahahaha I love it. Rage harder, please!

I only wished you listed your "location" in your info so I could make sure I was outside a 200 mile radius of you. I'd be nervous if I was any closer than that to you right now. I'll check the news tonight and look for you. Some crazy mass shooting in a public area by some guy ranting about the Canadian Mailmen. lol.

Thanks for the laugh though.

If someone has a problem with needing to have 500 mafia to complete thug life goals aren't they the ones who think they're 'entitled' to something.

"I should get to complete the thug life rounds even if I don't offer other players that same opportunity by staying above 500."

Fuzz, I too think that people should quit complaining about the 499ers, but I think they have a point. I(we) found a way to play the game that some disagree with. I don't think you should get on here and cast disparaging remarks about them. Look at the 1st reply to your post. "punks and Cowards". I can guarantee you that I, nor probably most of the "499ers" am no punk, nor am I a coward.
I was proud that I could beat almost anyone at my level, including those that spent RM (unless they were BIG) spenders, and I hadn't spent a dime. I recently threw Funzio some money to build some nice buildings. I have since been robbed by non-gold spenders. Should I suck it up and play the game, or should I get on here and demand that things change and non-gold players shouldn't be able to rob gold buildings? Or that people who sold all of their money buildings and only have defense, shouldn't be able to rob at all? In my eyes it's similiar to their point, but I just don't care because it's a game. I don't think I have the right to tell you how to play and I'm sick of hearing about this issue. If Funzio changes things (again) I guess I will have to adapt and overcome.

In the meantime, this forum is much bettter when the name calling and strong words are left behind (IMHO).

At the end of the day everyone is entitled to a freedom of speech, if you don't like it no one is forcing you to stay on this forum. These 499 make the attack goals hard to finsh. if we was all cowards and went to 499 then no one would be able to do the goals which would make the game a little less fun to play. If you don't use your voice then nothing will get changed simple.

The 499ers have found a way to use the game mechanics to their own advantage.

And because Funzio allows the 499ers to do so, then it must be "The Way The Game Was Meant To Be Played."

Otherwise, they would change it.

I don't think that's what he's saying. I read it as do something constructive about it or move on. Even the best spoken feedback is heard as whining when it's said over and over.

Babytway - I think the word coward isn't clear in your mind...

The game is designed to encourage the most cowardly of behaviors, examples:

rob/steal from other peope = coward - you of all people should get this one!

beat up people you know are weaker than you = coward

paying to win = coward

And before you guys get worked up I'm not saying any of this is wrong, it is how the game is designed...I rob, I beat up people weaker, it's great! But I'd saying having 1 less mafia member is the least cowardly thing in the game!

Time to call you out on a spelling mistake!

You obviously have a problem with a (somewhat large) group of people having a different opinion to you. Tough sh*t. If you don't like other people expressing their opinions, why don't YOU quit crying and ignore the fuss?

Yeah, because you know that funzio has never made mistakes that they have taken months to reconcile? :rolleyes:

Ah, Dorian, that brings up a very good point.

I would very much like to sit in on some of those discussions about when and why Funzio changes things.

And they may well decide to move on the 499er issue at some point, when they decide that it is no longer "The Way The Game Was Meant To Be Played."

Another way to think of it would be "The Dogma of the Day." This is what is right today, but that might not be what is right tomorrow.

And let me clear one thing up...there is no anger in my OP, I find it all funny, and it reminds me of the union mentality...plain and simple. I do have a problem the entitlement mentality no matter where it stems from...so my little rant with a comparision of the game.

And sure...freedom of speech, feedback to designers...I get it, all good, but the 499 thing is hilarious...people are seriously up in arms. So I'm not slamming an opinion different than my own, simply one that has been beaten to death.

Did I mention I LOVE the 'nerd rant' comment, high quality for sure! But I get it, posting something like I did won't make sense to a large portion of society...and that's ok.

Finally, Nicholost...I will admit that some of my rant was pulled from the Conan clip, I thought about including it...cracks me up and so true!!!

Thank you. I'm glad someone else in the world feels the same. I laugh at some of the stuff that gets inflated into a huge issue here on the forums (the 499 issue hasn't breached my threshold yet, but the M4A1 thing induced a giant eye-roll), but the stuff in the real world gets more than an eye-roll. I've lost faith in society, and particularly my generation, awhile ago. I would say the entitlement mentality is definitely on the rise and will probably be our downfall, but that's a tangent and one I'm not sure I want to travel down here on the internetz.

^^^^ If that is directed at me.....

It was "Nerd Rage". If you are going to quote me, through parenthetical citations nonetheless, then get it right.

Who didn't it make sense to? I don't agree that "we", as society, don't make sense of it. I think we don't see eye to eye on something and instead of stating your opinion about the situaition in game, you choose to make a personal attack against the people with opposing opinions. I would think it would be more constructive to instead spend that time and energy making a case making a case for your opinion.

I laughed and titled it as a nerd rage. That's what I thought it was, we all do it at times, you took it to a level which most don't. Maybe I shouldn't have assumed anything. But in my defense, I made that assumption because I didn't want to believe anyone could be so ignorant through sterotyping various people who they have opposing views with.

Are you that ignorant? Do you really think that every person in the American Autoworkers has a sense of entitlement? Do you think the same of the Canadian Postal Workers Union? ... every last one of them?

You throw out these blanket statements. I attributed it to your frustration or anger with somethin, hence the nerd rage, but you're saying that it wasn't a nerd rage you're just really that ignorant of a person?

I think I need to call up a few union workers and send them over to your house to give you a big hug.

My sincere apology for the misquote...nerd rage, point taken.

In this day an age the word 'ignorant' is as lost as the word 'racist'...just another term with zero meaning b/c it's grossly over used.

Sure, pardon my stereotypes regarding unions if you're offended, it was a wide sweeping generalization, my apology. While they had a place decades ago it is my personal opinion that they breed entitlement and laziness in modern society...but just my opinion.

I would disagree white frog. Tone is impossible to gauge on the net...so hard for you to accurately depict my tone...but easy to assume, and will depend on your personal frame of mind when reading my post.

On a 'content level' I still disagree. I stated an opinion with a bit of rant thrown in...but hardly crying.

I had fun with it, just killing time at the dentist's office...take it how you will.

Really sorry, but I must be getting old or something but I really find this thread quite offensive and certainly not funny (if that's what it was meant to be). Why classify people in such terms, don't you realise that there was people who lost everything in recent years and through no fault of their own. They are not whiners, they aren't all people who think they are entitled to something, they aren't the ones who occupied wall street, they are the ones who lost their jobs, their home, their businesses, their hopes......

If I remember it was bankers who cheated, lied and mishandled billions of dollars in an effort to increase profits, to ensure their bonuses was secure. Selling credit to those who couldn't afford it if things went wrong, drove up house prices and gambled billions without proper regulation.

Sorry here I am ranting also, just strikes a nerve with me.

Hi Jill,

I don't think banks have no blame in the situation, nor do I promote corporate greed. However...many many people lost what wasn't theirs in the first place...it's called credit, buying things you can't afford, treating a house like a piggy bank, assuming real estate only goes up, and signing mortgage documents you never bothered to read or understand.

There are plenty of people who have no one to blame but themselves, plain and simple. Besides entitlement that is out of control (think lawsuits), so is instant gratification...I want so I buy even if I can't afford it.

So lots wrong with the whole situation, but we the people certainly aren't blame free!

If a person does not have the income or the wherewithall to make repayments on a mortgage or loan, surely the people who gave them the loan are the real problem. Creating a housing bubble is very easy, it has happened all over the world and it is those who make money easily avialable are the real issue. In good times people want to improve their lives for themselves and their families unfortunity they may not be so well educated to realise things can go wrong, Bankers however are and I firmly believe they were not and still are not regulated properly.

Fuzz, you obviously have no idea how the monetary and banking system in this country work. The big problem we have is people arguing a case on what they "think" is the way things are, instead of learning how things actually are. Do some research on "Fractional Reserve Banking" and you'll completely change your opinion on who's to blame.
