so i decided to look up being a bumper and what exactly it entailed... seems the job title itself (bumper) is a misnomer.

my approach:
open reply window
type "bump"
set the stopwatch to 1:25
everytime it beeps hit "sumbit"
when the "succesful reply" screen appears hit "backspace"

what bumpers do:
well for one they're horribly underpaid. 2g for a bump? i'm sorry. but NO. if ur asking someone to piss away an entire evening for ur purposes u better be giving them kiki's made of f*cking gold... lets run the numbers.
min wage (last i checked) 6.55$$ and the gaian exchange rate between gaia cash and gaia gold at its worst (when the economy was at its best ie~ when i fist joined last year) is 10000% or:
6.55 $$ = 655 GC = 65500 GG
estimating gaia's bump limit at about one per minute.
so that equation in reverse with the average bumpers pay inserted:
60 bumps = 120 GG = 1.2 GC = 0.01$$ = ONE PENNY A F*CKING HOUR
on top of this outrage there are bump limiters involved! IE, bumpers can be requested to only bump once every five min etc. and~ if people show up ur expected to be all social about whatever topic u were hired for! now these might not seem like BIG problems but for less than a penny an hour yes. to me they're f*cking huge problems!

i wouldn't even look at a computer for that little money!
BUMPERS UNITE!
