Almost everybody's concept about a game master is being paid just to play the game. Everybody asks how to be a GM, thinking of what benefits they could get out of being able to play at work.

Well, yes we get to “play”. But how do we define the word play? Is it being involved and being able to enjoy stuff in a certain activity and be amused? Is it enjoying something to get away from boredom? Alright, we get to be amused of stuff that we possess as a GM, we get to enjoy the company of players but hey, didn’t they notice that we were like paid to face players’ anger and curses? We actually don’t play but instead, we go “online” with the thought of doing something for the players to basically enjoy “playing”. We do something to make them achieve the real meaning of the word play, to be amused and to enjoy stuff that they find hard to understand in a certain game.

We get a lot of curses from players once the servers go down. We get blamed for everything once something bad happens in game. They are suspicious of what we do behind the game. They always think that being a Game Master is being filthy rich. LOL They think that we get so many benefits out of these players. They even think that we don’t do anything at all. ~_~” These players even think that they are the ones feeding us. That’s a crazy thought. They are not the ones burning their asses in front of the monitor and receive negative stuff. They are not the ones working hard just to make them enjoy the game. We face these shitty stuff because we love to work in this field and not to leech from players to survive. They don’t feed us, we like what we work for, the games. But we don’t like what they slap onto our faces. But then, we got nothing to do but learn to smile and laugh at them because they’ll never understand how it feels to be branded as someone who is “paid to play” unless, they are in our shoes.

A free to play game has all the kinds of players in it. They should be thankful that the ones serving them are not those evil types of Game Masters. In a free to play game like this, they should really be thankful that we still attend to them. Sometimes we ask, where the heck did their brains go? They just plainly rant without thinking first. Well, we just got to learn to love it and laugh about it, though we wanted to raise our hands and stick out the middle finger. LOL
