Well, with the help of a very gullible young child who my grandmother babysits, by paying him $4 for every hour of grind, I finally completed my feat of 21 critical rings. (one of them is not shown in this picture as it is staying on another account.) http://i45.tinypic.com/2h4lukn.jpg And yes, I do have 20 storage slots. Kinda overrushed it a bit since I have a vacation with my family & several friends for the next month, starting tomorrow.

Wow, you paid a child into getting addicted. What's worse is that at a young age, habits are EXTREMELY hard to break due to how you assimilate things so quickly into your lifestyle. Nice job, you got your 21 rings at the probable cost of a kid's future and 100+ dollars... So how is this impressive?

[/quote] I didn't make this thread to argue about what I do in my personal life and how I pay people. I allowed the child to have fun. You know what his parents said when he was sent here? "Let him do whatever he wants." Before he had access to the computer, he watched TV for 12 hours a day. Now, he watches TV and does MapleStory. His parents don't let him use the computer at home without supervision, and today's the last day we ever take care of him. Addiction? I think not. He won't be able to use a computer without supervision until he's at least 8 to 10 years old, and he sure as hell isn't doing anything aside from games/tv until then. School gives like what, half an hour of homework until the 6th grade? Paying a kid to do what he loves? I do not see what's wrong with that. He's not addicted to maplestory, he's addicted to getting the 'free' money. And you know something? He would've been happy to do that with no payment at all. His parents are fine with it and just buy him any toys he wants with the money. His parents sure aren't going to allow him to play maple. They're the type that do not want their computer to be 'virus infected' with installed games. Now, how about we stray from the subject of what's right and what's wrong in terms of HOW I got these rings?
