The benefits of working, is that your income level isnt capped so you can at least make as much cash as you want. You can have any pc you want, a women, a nice house and kids.
I live on benefits for my illness, and I have to work with around minimum wage income, living in a bedsit ongoing, no girlfriend, no life outside my pc/bedsit. The illness is self inflicted though which is why I hate my life for doing the things i did when a ragfing teenager.
There is nothing worse as well when playing an mmo, and on monday morning you login to see the servers at low because everyone else is working. I cant join guilds as I have difficulty following whats going on, and hate always discussing my illness and that I dont work . Its a kick in the butt indeed. Id rather be working myself.
Even though you have to work, there is bonuses for you, trust me if you didnt work youd be like I am and others like me.
