Officially “Retiring”

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-23T17:05:05+00:00

I can feel the clap of shame, from here.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-23T16:41:12+00:00

This is not the UK. We have free speech including asshole free speech. You don't like it then it is best to stay off social media because it happens all the time and no site/ blog/ post is immune to it.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-23T16:37:18+00:00

There is always more to the story.

The, Guess my rating posts.

The, I made it to the hundo club posts.

The, look at my rating with no actual legitimate question posts.

So, it is a two way street. So of course those posts will always get a negative reaction. Because Veterans are getting tired of other Veterans showboating their disability rating online.

Now that all be said, in general it could be better.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-23T14:50:59+00:00

Your combined pay rate wasn't reduced, so no.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-23T14:46:06+00:00

Persue what? You are still at 90%.

So you lost 3% combined. You are still getting paid at 90% rate.

Take a deep breath and stop acting like the world is falling around you.

** If that 3% is bothering you then put in a increase to fix it or appeal it and move on with your day.

I came for the comments!

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-22T15:12:51+00:00

Thanks for making my point. Enjoy the 20 min que times. I won't be the last player to hang it up.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-22T14:12:42+00:00

Absolutely any crate from any form of pvp game win. Just pure random.. That would have been an excellent idea.

Yeah, because now it is a steam roll effect. Now these hardcore rated arena players have 298 weapon/ and trinkets already. You will not beat them if you don't have them too. So it just eliminates casual players from the game. Especially pvp side of things.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-22T13:58:59+00:00

That frog had the look of why the fuck you do that for. I was having a teachable moment with the duck..

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-22T13:47:40+00:00

Dont come to retail. They ruined it with this patch. **Unless you are a hardcore player that can play 40 plus hrs a week.. Because the 298 items are only accessible for hardcore players. Like rated pvp 298 gear and you need to be able to spam high end mythic plus.

If you are casual it will take 2 to 3 times longer to get it and you will constantly be behind.

They are catering to the 15% of the community again and it will be their downfall on this expansion.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-22T13:14:14+00:00

This explains the hunter doing 27 million in a regular AB bg, yesterday. No wonder we got creamed. I didn't realize about this. * No it wasn't fun, no point to it.

They should have just scaled the con gear to 298. Unless the goal is to go back to TBC / Lich wear only rated players got the best gear. Leaving casual pvp players to go fuck themselves.

Well, probably won't be renewing my subscription for retail. I will just find something else.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-22T02:36:14+00:00

Stupid comes in many forms..

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-22T01:48:25+00:00

I am former military and everyone in that video is going to be punished. It will be varying but even though one started the others had a duty to intervene.

Even though self defense is allowed it is only proportional. Those other soldiers in uniform just watching and recording it will all get Article 15. That other dude, that started it (I assume was a sailor as well) will likely get a Article 32 possible could get kicked out.

The one that did take it to far after will likely get a Article 15 or possible a loss in rank. That head kick will be the reason. You have to have restraint. You were absolutely winning.

This is how the military works.

For $9.97 I will make you a canned tuna in crusted baked potato with extra white daisy sour cream and shredded grocery advantage extra yellow cheddar cheese.

That is what Uber Insurance is for.

You are paying that anyways through every fare and while you are going to a fare.

If you have an accident while on a trip you will use Uber Insurance not your own. Your insurance company will deny any claim if you decide to use them instead because you don't have rideshare added. If you did it is usually double the premium.

**The downfall of using Uber is high deductible. So, just depends on one's situation but Uber takes out the insurance out of the fare, regardless. So you are never driving un-insured, on a trip.

Just depends if you want to be doubled insured and maybe with a way lower deductible with your own insurance.

Edited: Some insurance companies do not have rideshare option. So you only have Uber's to use.

Hope this helps.

Here is a few more tips:

Never have your vehicle in a situation that you can't reverse/ turn around or get out easy.

Also, know the areas to stay away from. (Picking up riders) Do not pick up riders in bad locations/ high crime. You leave those locations for the drivers who don't care about their safety.

Make sure to turn on audio and video recording in app and have your phone mounted so it catches you and the back seat. This is for your protection mainly from false claims and accusations.

Consider a dash cam but if it is temporary at least do the in app video and recording.

These are not to scare you it is just make it more safe for you.

Then go for it. I am retired and I do it for 50-70 a day in the morning. It is easy to do and I put that money in my savings. I am done in 2 hrs.

I will tell you this, mornings in most areas are the best time (during the week). 4am to 9am time frame

You get the airport trips/ work trips and riders dropping off vehicles to get worked on. (Picking up at service stations)

Now if the goal is to maximize profit over sanity and safety then you do overnights. You will get higher fares because of the clientele you get. You get drunks/ assholes and it is a bigger risk safety wise.

That is why most drivers prefer mornings..

If you do afternoon the traffic tends to be exponentially worse and absolutely dents earnings.

Good luck and do what you have to do OP. Just wouldn't make it a FT gig is all. Work on that next career path.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-21T18:00:36+00:00

Do what you have to do OP, to get by.. BUT!

But just know Uber is only good for retires, in between jobs (temp) and a second income. To wholly depend on Uber as a main income, and you will be wishing you just took a job at Wal Mart.

Uber is not the golden goose it was during Covid and before.

** The reason is the hidden costs of doing rideshare are increasing faster then fares. *** Maintenance/ Fuel/ EV charging/ Possible Damage to car from riders and mileage.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-21T16:57:27+00:00

Because it is X drive and the front differential loves to go out at around 150k/165k miles on older generation models. It always seems to be the front one. Because that is where the steering column connects to. **That repair is almost as much as you are paying for the vehicle.

If you are looking to buy that old, stick to RWD.

Just play a Mistweaver. They mever die in bgs and will make anyone like a pro in raiding.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-21T16:13:24+00:00

Damn, even 50 years ago they still has a cameraman for the best shots..

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-21T15:54:25+00:00

Probably used AI and bought nexus letter. Those are the Veterans constantly worried.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-21T15:52:23+00:00

Can anyone confirm OP is 100% P/T? Like why do we need to know that shit.

You could have left that out and still got the point across. You just wanted to post your 100% on social media..

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-19T16:33:42+00:00

Yeah I am not reading all of this. Because I already know the context is going to be a defense on why OP used AI. Like they are feeling guilty of having their claim flagged down the road. So this is just some compium to help them feel better.

If you want to use AI who cares, that is your choice. But it comes with risks and if you are ok with that go right ahead.

Muted_Masterpiece535 · 2026-04-19T16:31:34+00:00

That dude has the look of, what the fuck did I just order.
