Has it crossed your mind that most people probably don't want to think? They have enough to think about in real life and this GAME is just fun where they don't have to care about what they do cos it's a game? Clearly not, other wise you would realise you are thinking way too much about this.
Your boss/ business would probably benefit largely if you used all this wasted time arguing about mute points actually working, or maybe your partner would love you to invest this time in them or your friends...but there is a high chance you have none of those which is why I really feel sorry for you.
It is not wasted time. It gives me a break from real life.
“The Mega Alliances in Grepolis are a system. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Fighters, defenders, leaders, simmers. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”
You are right. Some people do not like to think by themselves in real life or in grepolis. However, some of us, do like to try new things, question everything, discover, experiment, and do not be lackeys of other people.
As for the partner, you a right. She is royally pissed and we have broken up several times over Grepolis.
