I like the reference.
A "bit" is in reference to a Spanish silver dollar which was the cash standard of the day. To make change, people actually would chop it up into 8 equal pieces and this is where the term "pieces of 8" comes from.
Now how we went from saying "pieces" to "bits" is anybody's guess.
As to the 4 bits ...
Each individual piece equals to 12.5 cents. And 4 bits would be 50 cents. Which is basically what we all pay to play the game.
And to quote Paul Harvey, "and now you know the rest of the story".
So, 'My two cents', would actually equate to 'My 0.16 bits'?

We spend most of our free time together, so we both appreciate the other's alone time. Space is good for relationships.
I game, he has a plant habit. No, not weed ya bunch of stoners! I meant filling up our Toyota 4-Runner with vines and shrubs and other growing stuff. Looks like a herd of druids vomited all over our back yard. LOL!
It's funny, though. He's actually interested in the games I play because of the story lines. When we're out with our friends, he'll actually talk about it even though he slaughters the names.
At first, World of Warcraft was "Warchest" or "Warquest". Then he referred to Star Wars: The Old Republic as "Republican Wars".
Now he's having sh!t-tons of fun calling ELDER Scrolls Online "Seniors Gone Wild".
Reminds me of a carpentry tutor a friend of mine had in trade college. He was talking about the really violent war movie he'd watched the other night (and imagine this in a broad Scots Glaswegian accent), that was apparently really well known.
'What was it called?'
'Dumbo!'
'Dumbo??? Are you sure???'
'Yeah, the one with Vietnam War Veteran, with the knives..'
'Don't you mean 'Rambo'?'
'Yeah, that's it, the one with Victor Stalloney...'

My only question to the analogy she presented to you is this: Would you still put in the two quarters for that arcade game if all it entailed for you was 15 minutes of checking mail and crafting random supplies? It's nice that you get the urge sometimes to go out and do some adventuring, but that sounds to me like an arcade game that you wouldn't have to fight over to be honest.
I'm glad you're sticking with it, but hopefully it's to see if it ever does pan out the way you would like it to and not the fact that you're okay spending the money for a crafting game
Don't forget those wonderful acrobatic minutes spent dodging around people randomly standing around banks and crafting stations trying to get your activity indicator to show, while they loom there looking for all the world like spectators at some seedy dogging session in a secluded trunk stop!
I don't remember arcade games making me want to shower afterwards, ...

Elember✭✭✭I did cancel my account though I did not consult my wife on the issue because she had already cancelled her account a month before that...
They dropped the ball with ESO making it far to much of a single player gaming experience and when my wife and I play MMO's we like to do ALL content together. There are plenty of MMO's that get that, however ESO for what ever reason did not, this is why we no longer pay the monthly fee...I have 21 days left....Edited by Elember on July 16, 2014 8:08PM2 -
Vanathi✭✭✭That's all I do lately too. Feed my horses, collect mail, check if spell animations are working properly yet etc and so on. Makes me kinda sad. Been playing Destiny Original Sin with friends until ZoS gets things fixed."M'aiq was told to stay away from Oldgate. This confused him. M'aiq remembers when it was called Gate." M'aiq The Liar1 -

That's just it... money-wise even playing a bit every other day may work out to be no big waste, but I'm not gaga anymore, and to just go through the motions, well, that does seem a waste to me. I don't really have that much time to spend on games, so when I do play, I wanna feel like, "OMG I'm having such fun," and I'm not getting that from ESO, it's more like, h0-hum, oh, look, another water hyacinth and damn, not another couple of crocs! If it absolutely, positively has to be an MMO for you, I guess there some sense in hanging on to this, but I dunno...
If only the weather effects and lighting in this game weren't so damn pretty.Edited by lecarcajou_ESO on July 16, 2014 8:46PM"Morally Decentralized."1
