Right at 60 minutes.
This is just an awful slog, presumably you can be screened out for failing a check at any time, and the amount of your bonus isn't disclosed, so who knows if you made 7.50, which is garbage but morning turking, or if you get no bonus.

 

Good morning...Looks like this batch of 500 RVDs is broken..

I did this yesterday for $4.50 base pay and a $2.50 bonus. It still took an entire hour, though.

 

When I see your username, I think of this every damn time

 

I like how the description states that the base pay is $5, even though it has actually dropped to $2.50.

 

I suppose it's possible the bonus is $2.50-5, but there's no real reason to fail to disclose the bonus at the end of a hit when the bonus is calculated on hit performance and not random chance or choices from another participant.

 

I didn't even catch one today... Did JL start dropping less HITs recently, or are there just more people running the panda? I used to regularly catch like nine every morning, but for the past month or so, I'm lucky if I get one or two.

~8 minutes.

 

I imagine its just more ppl running the panda, his hits drop at the same time so everyone knows when to turn them on and we dont have 2 PRE pools to ham them from anymore.

 

There are a ton of people running the panda. I think there were before too, but not everyone utilized both pools when we had them, so it was easier to snag a whole bunch on every drop. I also have the theory that he might have figured out to limit us to just 1 each of the 5 sets. If someone has caught 6 or more recently, I'd love for you to debunk that for me.

Lastly, I caught one straight from OW this morning, while PC whiffed at the exact same time, so go figure.

 

What do you mean by 5 sets?
