0_efx_0 said: Hahaha I never said the real world was the problem. Jago quotes himself as Jago? The problem is I have other things do, like workout, cook dinner, shower, socialize and I love this game. The game play time is a bit too long at times. Can you understand that aspect? Or will you try to be more condescending and involve little to no help in this thread? - 0_efx_0

If you are doing it in a relaxed manner and would be awake anyway it's obviously not a problem.

If you are doing it in a relaxed manner and would be awake anyway it's obviously not a problem. Yeah, I probably could've explained that better. Like last night, I did one full pass to open up all the nodes, then cleared the 5* and 4* nodes, but fell asleep on the couch in the middle of a 3* match all while catching up on My Hero Academia season 2. I'll finish the rest of the "4-pass" nodes over my lunch break today and still finish in the top 100 for the sub when I clear them this evening.

Let me offer some tips and tricks. (Hopefully you play on a mobile platform. If you don't, there is no hope for you.)1) When you have to go number 2 don't forget to bring MPQ with you. Often you can sneak in a lightning round during a stubborn one.2) Start smoking. This way you have an excuse to step away at the exact time a PvP is about to start so you can clear some seed teams.3) If you have a spouse or significant other, ditch them. If that's not an option, get them addicted to MPQ as well.4) Start taking the bus. Sure your car is great and all, but think about the carbon footprint you're leaving. More importantly, think about all the time you waste paying attention to the road when you could be paying attention to MPQ instead.5) Do you have kids? Train them to take care of your light work. You don't need to be doing easy-node clears in PvE. Not even a 3-year old could mess those up with Grocket, Gamora, and Medusa.
