- This would mean for exams, you could infinitely retry, I could very well pass the pharmacist exam while knowing nothing about the exam, through trial and error. E.g first question : I go A, then all the others I go D for all the others, then change my answer for 1 to B, then D for others. Compare again, and repeat until I pass the exam. This is well-intentioned, but won't actually help players and instead, bring inexperienced people who know nothing about the job to the job.

- people already get free money every 15 minutes they don't need free exams too, it's already basically free

 

[EmeraldGuuy]

- I concur with Dogen on this one
