Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says hard raids are not content you are expecting to finish every time, and that if you expect to you will not finish any.1
  • Gnomonkey says every time you enter content you do not know perfectly you are investing in learning it, and that each raid he is still learning something new and refining.2
  • Gnomonkey criticises players who cash out to lower raid levels because they keep dying at higher ones, saying that is very short-term thinking and that learning the higher level fully would make more money overall.3
  • Gnomonkey says that when doing something new he expects to die over and over and treats dying as a cost he has already mentally prepared for.4
  • Gnomonkey says that worrying about the cost of things makes content much harder to play, and he thinks you figure this out once you go for the Inferno.5
  • Gnomonkey says to commit to losing every supply you walk in with and use everything, without questioning each supply you use, calling it the non-poor-man mindset.6
  • Gnomonkey says it is impossible to get your Inferno cape if you get triggered instantly, and that this is not only about supply cost but also about not worrying about dying.7
  • Gnomonkey says that if your mindset shifts a little, everything becomes doable.8
