maybe I am the stupid here, but what exactly should Grid have done from the dev's viewpoint? after getting the class change and resetting to lvl one, he was first thrown into a lvl 150 dungeon and after dieing again, in a town for lvl100+ - how should he have gained lvls? not saying that I like his personality which I find strange, he is overgreedy, lazy if possible, but tenacious if needed and normally intelligent - that should make him a competent player imo
@GrimGriefer maybe the scale is a bit off, but risking people's health while using lots of money for entertainment is quite normal (when I think about it, it was always), just think about professional sport, even if you don't include straight dangerous drugs or training methods, pro sport will more or less ruin your body, or think about how popular most kind of high risk or straighout selfharming shows/ activities are (any airborn sport for example, bungee jumping, climbing without safety, boxing and such sports)
