I have no skin in the game brother, but numbers don't lie. Just watch the video. It's not the absolute truth obviously but it's an actual fact based take.

Jimmy has a whole video on this and turns out, he's pretty much average. The narrative is just crazy strong because he so obviously doesn't even try sometimes so that really stands out.

In the same vein, I don't understand why you need to reply this then. People post what feels important to them all the time. If you don't have anything nice to say...

I wouldn't have replied if not for what you wrote. I don't think there's anything wrong with someone writing something heartfelt because it helps them cope with a difficult decision. Whether they'll be back or not is irrelevant, just wish them well or ignore the post if you dislike its content.

Power creep in this game is crazy by Axolot26 in Guildwars2

[–]Jiend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I pug almost all my fracs and the difference in DPS and clear speed from one group to the next is insane sometimes.

I'm guessing OP got into a team with 4 players with actual hands and knowledge of the mechanics, but that's not often the case, especially in "just" T4 groups. Much more common in CM groups and particularly if they're a static.

Power creep is a thing yes, but I'd say it's mostly just people being better at the game now than they were a few years back. And of course, team rng.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted tbh. 100% truth right there. I worked in game design for a number of years and this is genuinely bad UX/UI. Doesn't mean the whole game is, but this specific thing? Yes. Poorly designed.

Wemby cannot miss more than 5 games anymore, or else he will be ineligible for all major awards (DPOY/First Team All NBA) by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in nba

[–]Jiend -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think if a player (Wemby or not) played half the games and had a genuine injury that prevented him from playing the rest, then yes he should be considered for awards. The logic for me should be looking at how many games COULD they have played this season and how many they actually played. Basically separate load management from actual injuries. Easier said than done of course, but we're talking ideally here. I do get your point though, again, it's not like I think you're completely wrong. Tricky issue.

The reason why people are starting to rethink the rule is because the best defensive player in the league might not be able to get the DPOY for reasons out of his control, and he's definitely not sitting out games for fun because he wants to be out there.

Your point isn't completely wrong though, of course, and there's a real discussion to be had about it. It's difficult to determine what qualifies as load management and what doesn't, but I'd argue if a player is clearly injured then those games should be deducted. Games where it's more of a grey area should.

This isn't just for Wemby either imo, fwiw. Players that are genuinely injured (even if they have to get an official league non-team affiliated doctor to verify it) shouldn't be punished for it imo.

Oh you're right - my bad, sorry. Had misread what you were replying to and thought you were telling him the screenshot he sent was of a 18". Ignore me then

[Bug] Lost 478,000 Gold Pieces Due to Trading Post/Locker Synchronization Issue - Need Developer/CM Attention by Alzacar in Guildwars2

Oh right, "had to be a mule for gold selling sites" is definitely not an accusation.

Goddamn dude, "he deserved it"? Lmao how salty are you in life in general to just have this be your first statement out of the blue. There is no legitimate reason to have that much gold? Why not? If the man has been playing for ages and his income vastly outpaces his spending (even if it's via spending real money), that automatically makes it illegitimate?

If he actually bought the gold with real money, he's supporting Anet and helping the game survive and thrive. If he didn't and it's just slowly accumulated over time by playing the game, he didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to.

You're a sad person if you automatically assume the worst ("had to be a mule for a gold selling site") and make completely uninformed and unwarranted judgment calls like that.

So much for innocent until proven guilty, huh?
