    Some did, you're assuming most of them lingered on being treated forever. Tip #1: Skin GRAFTS (capitalized since you can't even spell the word apparently) are cheap as shit, I've had plenty as part of my two dozen surgeries in my life so far. They've usually been cheaper than the stay (which...

    And? Something that kills you doesn't bankrupt you (well, I guess it TECHNICALLY could - but it's moot - dead people don't declare bankruptcy) - its the survivable ones that are actually relevant to an affordability discussion.

    Varies by state, as Zitar kind of hit on. In Florida it's ludicrous - not even holdings based, and something like earning less than $12k per year or else you're on a lotto system (although it does have a pretty high max income for Medicaid, it's like 40k people on the list for 500 slots a...

    I require 3+ MRIs a year in addition to other treatment. You think a normal person earning $45k with a couple kids is affording that with proper budgeting? I'm lucky in that I could afford it if I needed to but that's just luck of who my families are - I planned well before I got sick - but...

    Yea, $50 in services frequently going unpaid is the source of the issue not the $60k+ uncommon ones... Something I read a while back had actually covered that - something like 2 in 3 major procedures on the uninsured are defaulted on - while for small routine stuff its like 1 in 5. But you...

    And it treats it like you wanted the default stats for your class. So if you're a class that has stupid starting allocation - you're stuck with that.

    Dunno, I had weirdness like that (on all 3 machines at once - but not usually the rest of my group) in various zones first week or so of the server - so it isn't just you.

    It's minor drama usually (besides one really shitty case with an old friend) - but yea, around 30-40% of my FG runs have had some form of drama involved. Be it train, leapfrog or whatever. Still curious of Vyray's take though, 90% sure you're right and he probably missed seeing y'all and thought...

    Vyray or me (Vaclav) are the only two that were close - definitely wasn't me (unless it was during the time we were trained a bunch of times already - and there was only one return train before I calmed the puller the heck down)... and as for Vyray, I'd find it hard to believe - he tends to be...

    Seriously - last case I saw of something like that - one of us did train people back, but it was after we had three trains thrown at us in Efreeti for example.

    Who? Trust me when I say we don't have many problem players... but a few have a mean streak for a few people that have caused them problems before (even if they're just grouped with those problem people) though. But not known a single one to be the start of a problem.

    Or vice versa - say you want to level an alt to eventually be spun off to its own account but that you don't care (or have the machines) to box ATM - you could level it now and then transfer to another account down the line. I'll personally be leveling more alts soon as a result now for the...

    I didn't pop in a McD's but the ads ran down here in FL too. May have just been an online thing that still registered my old address though, unsure. (Pandora still gives me local ads from MD for example)

    Out of Pocket Max existed on all plans in the past to my knowledge - unless I'd just always lived in states that required it.

    Update: He says he left it alone at 100% - was poking around with ITU and got aggroed by the AM. So he AE Stunned and gated. So yes, he did mess with it a moment, but just to not die from wandering through. Bah to crossposts.

    Don't know him too much - I know he pugs a lot - heard a similar situation with an old friend over an AM spawn with Venthos, and as soon as he heard that the group had lied to him about the AM camp being theirs, he bailed and left. So I'd tend to assume he's a reasonable guy based on another...

    It's likely a lesson in confirmation bias - I can quote a handful that dislike him, but outside of Faceless folk the ratio is skewed more towards like than dislike. [Or people that when you prod them answer with "Oh, don't know they guy but I heard X..." that I personally discard] Just like...
