    Yeah but minimum wage laws do not apply to independent contractors. So the question now is if Simu is calling them independent contractors in order to avoid labor laws. If what Simu has told us is true, that GMs pretty much do their own thing and the requirements are mere guidelines, it's kind of hard to argue that they are indeed regular employees. No regular employee is going to be able to make up their own schedule and finish work whenever they feel like it.

    rofl...

    So yeah, GMs do sign a NDA. They are independent contractors and they are compensated in cash money. It isn't a lot though.

    This is the exact line from the Agreement...

It is what it is. I wouldnt mind it if the area werent so painful to hunt from what it sounds like. I will be entering this level range very soon so would have been cool to have something I can realistically fry on without too much annoyance. I likely will not utilize this area because of that, which is a shame. But again my guess is this took them a few hours.
    So.. after over a decade of knowing about this gap, they were finally able to put in "a few hours" to add 2 creatures. Definitely worth a pat on the back.

    So, they are super cereal on their QCing and all that. I'm sure it took probably an hour (tops) to create the creatures, place them, all that. But QC is what can take a lot of time.

    It is stupid. It is slow. It is something. I wish they would have decided on better creatures, but I imagine they were forced to stick with the theme of the location.
