I don't know how long it takes you to do a clue, but 100k for like 30 minutes of easy work is nice. Then you get an awesome clue (like my 3a platelegs) and it makes up for all the lost moneyz.
100k in 30 minutes = 200k an hour = CRAP. I think time is now valued 1m an hr. Or 5m if you can to tds. So clues arnt really a "Good" thing for money, they normally slow you down.
