    How often does Research Tasks reject? Tried 2 this morning for first time and still not sure I did 'em right :/... Not that I can't handle 2 rejects, though I might not have a false 100% anymore lol

    I hope they don't. That's been 75% of my grind today. :tinfoil:

    I haven't played it since the beta. From what I've read, they have made significant improvements since then. I was turned off by how broken it still was at launch. The gameplay was clunky and uninspired.

    I play Rift. It's free to play up to level 65 (with a few limitations but nothing gamebreaking) and then it's buy2play for the most recent expansion. There is a fair bit of solo content and pick-up stuff that if you don't want to be in a guild or don't have time to play too much you can still have fun.

    It is not optimized very well though so there can be some stutter and low fps depending on your rig. My new one has an i7 6700k oc to 4.4ghz and a GTX 1080 and in the boss fight of a zone event I'll drop below 30 fps. My old pc 2600k @ stock and GTX 465 would get down to 17 or so and it was almost like a slide show :) But not unplayable really as it was just during certain things like that.

    Tera is also another alternative that I enjoyed and is f2p.

    They do spot check. I've done hundreds of their HITs and have two rejections, both my fault.

    That's why you have a automatic startup genny... Learned that I can't rely on power with the local emc with all the recent storms so had one installed about a year ago... My neighbors are always pissed when power is out and I light up my house like Times Square.

    Depends on the size of the house and what you want to power you could get away with a portable but mine is installed on slab next to HVAC condensers, it was a little under 4k but I also bought extras and saved some on doing to electrical install myself. You can get a decent model for about 2.7k if you just need to keep the essentials going.
