    Isn't it like closed, locked up, the key frozen in a block of ice and thrown to the bottom of the mariana trench?

    Hmmm...well do the Zoltars do the same thing? I've read about problems with returning them, etc., getting locked out. Some of the ins and outs are clear as mud. I'm sure it has to do with what scripts others are running as well, as far as collecting. I thought that Zoltars were Endor as well? Or is that only some of them? I think housework is my true calling....o_O

    Yeah, which is why I gave up not talking about it. Well, that and the 800% pay drop over the last month.

    All endor hits have a cap, but that cap is different for different requesters and different batches.

    It isn't actually closed. Last time I asked them they agreed to hand out qual test... they are just waaaay too hard for a simple human like myself.

    If you click Endor, it will take you to the wiki on Endor and the lockout :)

    And because everyone and their mother started e-mailing him when that fact got posted to MTC he stopped taking those requests (at least that's what he said). The HIT even says don't e-mail him anymore.

    The last time I know of it being open some idiot got mass rejected for not reading directions (and probably cheating on the qual test) and then that was that LOL.

    ETA: Maybe that's BS, I don't know I got spoonfed the qual before it was cool by someone nice so haven't had reason to test the theory in some time.

    Ah so I guess it is sort of my fault. People got hype as hell when I found out that he would do a qual test and then sent them out. I didn't follow it much after that though as I didn't really once I knew that I couldn't ever do the work even if someone handed me the qual.

    LMAO.

    Yeah some people weren't as smart as you, cheated on the qual test (or passed it by some other hail mary miracle) and then immediately lost it or ate 70+ rejections. :emoji_nerd:

    I had emailed him in August and he said he would I was on the list because they were still reviewing the last round. I remember something about him sending another email saying he would just post a qual hit in the fall and then I never heard anything else about it.:(
