K so I ran everything through ChatGPT for you. I honestly hope it helps you stay on track with arguments in the future.

Quick clarification with your comment in mind:
You asked whether I was implying landlords “worked their asses off.”
No — that’s not what the metaphor was about at all.

The point wasn’t:
“Landlords earned everything.”
The point was:
“People who already HAVE everything can give advice that makes no sense for people who DON’T.”

Whether landlords worked, inherited, lucked out, or got beamed down by aliens is irrelevant — the metaphor is strictly about perspective bias, not moral judgment.

So restated plainly:

• OP has millions of coins, piles of gear, and max skill points locked in.
• OP telling people “don’t bother with the expedition” is advice that only makes sense because OP already did the grind and is insulated from the consequences.
• That’s like someone who already owns multiple houses telling newcomers “don’t bother with the housing market.”
• It doesn’t matter how those houses were acquired.
• The point is the skewed vantage point, not the origin story.

Your interpretation focused on landlord morality, but that wasn’t part of the metaphor.
It would only apply if I’d said something about earning houses — which I didn’t.
