Being the leader of a Final Fantasy 14 Free Company (player guild) that has topped the weekly rankings twice in a row is pretty rewarding. I’m very proud of that accomplishment, considering how much work I did to make it happen and how much my life has revolved around making that a sustainable process over the last two weeks (and continues still, but to a lesser extent). I’m also proud of how much effort the community put it to making it happen as well, considering not everyone has so completely optimized their characters to the do the sort of work involved. I may have done a lot of the work, but only because I had people supporting me and enabling me to do that work. Truly a community effort, and one that I figured out how to make profitable for everyone. After all, that’s what I’m good at. No matter what, I will find a way to turn a profit. In a system like this, with predictable inputs and outputs, dependable resources, and actual rewards based on effort, how could I not? Which will come in handy since I’ve been sinking so much of my own finances into this group and paying back everyone else who spends their own in-game currency on stuff. I would like to pay myself back, eventually. And get the group opportunities to get paid, as well.
