I go back and for with MMOs and yes it is too close to real life. So much downtime and waiting around then a burst of excitement. Lots of chasing the carrot in

  I've been enjoying the hell out of elite dangerous, but I play it in full-on space trucker exploration mode. Great for getting in an hour of flying, but I quit EVE because if I'm going to be doing a job I should be paid for it.

    Just out of curiosity, do some people actually get paid for work in the game for others?

      Depends on how you look at it, but IMO: yes. Eve is one of the few (maybe the only?) MMOs with a direct and legitimate conversion between real currency and in-game currency. You can purchase (with real money) an item called PLEX, which can either be applied to your account to extend your subscription, or sold to another player for in-game currency. There are many players who pay for their subscription by farming in-game.

        Wow has the same. You earn in game gold convert it to gametime and real money on your Blizard Balance account. With this you can buy stuff from their digital store, both other games or in game goodies. Once setup, making gold is so ridiculously fast and easy that you can buy everything in the store in no time.
