This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To expand on that, in live service games, there are daily high value quests that can usually be completed in 15 minutes. This is to provide a big incentive to log in every day and a low bar to get some great rewards. It's a habit-forming technique. But if you enjoy the game, it's an easy and quick way to get currency you'd otherwise have to buy.
