In some ways I find this to be fairly true. The problem with this theory is you are compartmentalizing people into too small of boxes.

There are many people working long hours/employed who have big families that pour tons of time into this game raiding and even tracking mobs for the big raid guilds.

Just as there are unemployed/handicapped/single men and women that have more time at home who do not engage in these activities in the game.

I believe it has little to do with a persons employment status or physical condition that leads to poopsocking and raiding hardcore on this game tracking mobs etc. Some of the most hardcore poopsocking players I have seen on p99 have been employed and even have their own families.

It seems to be a mental aspect driving some players to go hardcore for pixels, not so much just a matter of their employment status etc.

I feel like you are choosing to ignore this, and run this idea/agenda because you and others would like to think someone has to be lesser or inferior to you IRL (in your mind) because your pride won't allow you to think someone who is just like you; employed/family oriented/etc. could possibly be able to poopsock and raid hardcore on p99.

This is the truth. There are many gainfully employed players who are mothers/fathers that find the time in their lives to raid dragons. Whether they are meeting the responsibilities they should with their jobs and families is unknown.

I do agree though, it's too bad there is no way to find a even ground to spread the pixels better.
