I was originally going to think of something cheeky and say trading TPE for more TPE in another league, but considering how there’s already so much of it wherever I go, it doesn’t really seem worthwhile to be able to just get more TPE when even if it’s time gated, is essentially an infinite resource over time assuming the communities don’t suddenly disappear.

I think if I had to, I would easily trade in TPE for more time. As somebody who seriously struggles with time management, there would be an unbelievable number of things that I could do with just more time, on top of not having to change my procrastination habits and poor time management skills. I would be able to both watch The Office for the 20th time while still having enough time to work on my paper just by trading some TPE in.

To make it far, maybe it has to be something like 1 TPE for 30mins or an hour but honestly, that sounds like a real worthwhile trade off. Eventually I think I’d just be in sim leagues as a form of ‘time banking’ so that I could trade in a TPE to not be late to work for the 5th time this week, or a couple TPE to be able to sleep in and not feel like garbage because I chose to do nothing productive in Valheim but admiring our little viking village for hours, farming berries.

Other things that could be especially nice with the TPE for time is being able to extend things like vacations. Imagine going to Disney. It’s something you’d likely want to spend multiple days over, going to different parts of the Park or other attractions. So much to do in so little time. For a few TPE, suddenly you can take things easy. Enjoy your time, appreciate where you’re at rather than having to play the optimization game of rushing from ride to ride, maximizing your FastPass tickets and whatnot.

This does open up a weird question in that could you reverse the exchange or trade in the opposite direction, in giving up time for more TPE...might be a neat loophole where you’re at the dentist and you trade to fast forward time and get past boring or painful experience but also gaining more TPE at the same time. This honestly sounds like a win/win idea. HO better get on this for real.
