I finally got a lift for my job that I ' m starting next year . I can ' t afford a car and need to work to get one . I ' ve been stressing about it for a long time cause my job isn ' t in the central city area where many people work so it was a challenge to find someone . When I did , it was also a struggle to communicate with them but today I finally got the news that I can drive with them And they are willing to pick me up right at my front door P <| sep |> Responding to pings is probably a pretty low priority for your router . Don ' t worry unless pings that travel through the router to some other host also show a problem . <| sep |> Loot is just a means to an end though . You get loot so that you can experience the raids and compete in PvP . Loot will always end up redundant as we progress through content . The only reason we get new loot is so we can complete new content . It ' s the nature of the genre . I understand that people don ' t enjoy SRL , and that ' s a matter of preference that I ' m not in a position to argue . The point I was trying to make is that people don ' t gauge an activity by how fun it is isn ' t . They gauge it by the quality of the loot drops . That ' s not a healthy way to play the game . People should just do what they think is fun . That ' s what games are for , after all !
