    Hello everyone. I have something to talk about. I'm having trouble with a situation I am having. I'm trying to figure out if I should apply for mod (When I'm ready for it) or just keep on heavy boxing. Now, Here are some pros and cons about mod (But mostly pros)

    MOD PROS:
    1. I can help and support Harpoon Gaming by watching and keeping an eye out on the all trade servers.
    2. I can be a MM (If I have permission from an admin of course) When anyone needs one.

    MOD CONS:
    1. I can't gamble (spycrab, or heavy box with bets).


    Here are some pros and cons about heavy boxing.

    HEAVY BOXING PROS:
    1. I can make profit if I win heavy boxes.
    2. I can get better at heavy boxing.

    HEAVY BOXING CONS:
    1. I lose profit if I lose heavy boxes.
    2. People can run from less than a key boxes and will take forever to take the screenshots and report it to the admin, then the admin reports it to steam rep.


    So I don't know wich one to pick. If you were me, Which one would you pick?

    Thanks.

    I would pick Mod mostly because I don't heavy box anymore.

    Heavy Boxing Cons:
    1. It's an addiction, it's gambling and it can lead to irrational behavior.
    2. You can make a lot of enemies.
    3. You can become greedy and profit obsessed.
    4. Money isn't the most important factor.
    I can keep on going, but at the end of the day, if what motivates you is greed, then there isn't a choice, we don't look for that in our staff members.

    There is a difference between wanting to be profitable and trying to milk money out of any opportunity.

    Also to keep in mind, it's not guaranteed that you get staff if you apply, there's more to it than just that.

    There are other ways to make "profit". Like Joe said, heavy boxing might make you greedy.

    Pros of being a mod:
    Experience
    vast amount of knowledge
    better friendships with staff

    Hmmmm..... You guys are right, heavy boxing does make you greedy and it can make you have enemies, and it is kinda addictive. There are other ways to making profit anyways, TONS. But Eoj, I see that harpoon gaming is friendly and amazing! Thanks.

    from being a regular i noticed all you really do is box so you might have an addiction/obsession but if being a mod prevents you from boxing it may be a good option you were one of the more likable regulars despite the fact i hate boxing :p good luck chillstep
