Rox, not true. I have found that playing through pirates is more fun for me. I can take usually a mule a day (did this for about 2 weeks with most of my mules), and get through the 30 wins to get the pin. And make some decent money in the process. Now, its no big secret that i then bought web dividers, traded them to my main, and sold em. THATS where a lot of credits came from.
Out, not exactly true on the mega mule thing lol. I did say that MousseDude never buys anything himself. I did NOT say i make a new mule every time something new comes out. What i DID say is that the extras buy things, which, as you will see, is not the same as making 500 mules.
I have a regular stable so to speak lol of 20 characters, and they get credits daily right along with good ol moussedude. Now, that includes our 4 mains (mine, wife, and 2 kiddos), so really there are 16 mules. So, if they have enough credits, i do use them and not buy anything with my main. So no, i dont make a new mule every time something comes out in the stores. You guys may have seen that moussedude had a lot of credits when the costums came out. What you did NOT see was that we (since my kids benefit from the mules too) had 16 mules with 15,000 credits each. They bought the costumes. No new mules, no reason to make them.
Also, whenever i am in the game, there is ALWAYS another extra in a second window riding in a boat. If you can make credits while playing the game, why wouldnt you?
Any other questions, feel free to ask. Y'all know where to find me, or in which direction to throw your stones.
