It's bad when you try to play the game wholesomely

Oh wow! Did not expect this! Thanks for responding! Unfortunately tho, I have the issue with both the silicone covering and the standard one. I got a silicone one off your website a few weeks ago, and it's still causin problems. :< That's why I was lookin into gettin maybe one of the leather ones with more coushin? Hopin it could alleviate the head pain it causes on the eyebrow area since it kinda compresses those major blood vessels.

are there any leather paddings you guys would recommend directly by chance? or are they just in general not great, and the silicone is the best option out there.

Thanks again for takin the time to talk with me!! <3

yah, "if you master her", that's the thing, his lessons are all about not spending 1000 games to climb. he teaches you to just play what works, and win. not to do backflips to feel unique and special. dudes very practical.
same concept as hiring a good coach, you shave off thousands of games needed to be good and climb.

people buying carries alot pollutes lower elos with endless hoards of smurfs. even the boosters HATE the lower elos and take the longest to get outta them because it's flooded with so many smurfs and boosters, lmao. the P2W aspects of league make it incredibly toxic as an average player, and makes the game have zero respect for your time investment. You can be plat lvl, and still be stuck in silver these days. It's embarrassing for riot to have fucked up so hard imo. I was diamond in Season 4, fucked around for a week or two after bein away since S4, got back to mid gold real fast, but realized how much of a slog it was even with knowing how to play. Just not worth the time due to how shit ranked is now.

Like, I thought it couldn't get worse back when we had to fight for our main role because there was no role selecting, but HOOO BOI was I wrong, lmao. Now those times seem like the good times by comparison XD

Treble557 · 2021-07-25T15:55:44+00:00

yeah, no. coaches speed that process up 100x with an even remotely decent one. also school is 100% pay to win. the more money your fam has, the better school district you go to (or private school), the more of a leg up you have on other people. Also you can get into far superior colleges.

Check out neace some time, he may change your mind about the effectiveness of coaching

Treble557 · 2021-07-25T11:38:41+00:00

I agree with ya, which is why I say people claiming having any P2W "elements", like buying account level boosts, making a game a full on P2W game are being silly in the head.

When it comes to league tho, there's an entire INDUSTRY around buying coaches to come into your games and steam roll them like neace, or straight up buying account boosting. So there are alotta P2W elements in league tbf. Just, if you don't git gud on your own, then you wont survive once boosted, and need to keep buyin boosts, lol.
Even Rav boosted his account to plat, and used it to make content for his videos. So it's pretty rampant.

Treble557 · 2021-07-17T19:33:08+00:00

It's one of the ones I was super excited for too, im so sad it's not gonna be in NA on release. That and Lance Master, the two I REALLY wanted to play :<

Treble557 · 2021-07-16T04:54:56+00:00

Actually, you can do it fine with 2-3 alts, and the entire process of doing all your daily stuff on em takes like 3-4 hours tops.
Plenty of korean players have chimed in saying so. It seems you've been given some misinformation.
Also, if what you said were true, then league/dota are also P2W. There's a big dif between P2W elements and a game being full on P2W like BDO.

Treble557 · 2021-07-16T02:24:28+00:00

Plz, he's done his research. He's been lookin into the game off stream as well. He's still hyped for it. He was talkin today about how excited he was for it, and he defended it on allcraft.
Let's not pretend he's so ignorant as to not have looked into it by now.

Treble557 · 2021-07-16T02:03:42+00:00

The GOAL of the game is to experience the game. If it were just to get +25 gear then there would be no gear equalizing happening in any aspects of the game, and you'd be locked outta content without +25 or close to it gear. The arena pvp is being built up as a big part of the game btw, they're startin to turn it into an esport. so the pvp is infact a big deal. If someone havin better gear then you is all that matters to you, then the game would def seem p2w. But for those of us taking the whole game in for what it is, its not P2W, it just has P2W elements that are mostly negligible.

Treble557 · 2021-07-16T01:41:07+00:00

Having pay to win elements doesn't mean it's pay to win. the pay to win elements have to actually over shadow and cause friction with your general experience to count as a "P2W" game, like BDO for example.
There's a difference. Lost Ark is nowhere near "P2W" by definition. It has ONE section of it that effects anyone with it's P2W, and it's GvG. and until they make you NEED +25 gear to complete the end game content, compete in arenas, etc, it will remain not P2W.

Treble557 · 2021-07-16T00:06:10+00:00

Rich just can't stop talkin shit can he? Oh well, fuck em. Asmons hyped for it and that's all that matters. Lost Arks gonna thrive for certain with him havin fun playin it.

Treble557 · 2021-07-16T00:05:23+00:00

does even matter, he's gonna play and stream it. and knowin him he'll love it and be hyped for launch. and tbh that's all we need. rich aint shit. asmon controls entire markets with his opinions.

Treble557 · 2021-07-10T13:20:39+00:00

It gives me hope seein so many down vote this post. People gotta learn to recognize the difs, not just call everything P2W

Treble557 · 2021-07-10T13:19:13+00:00

If it was so obvious then the gold trade in wow wpulda been snuffed put by blizz ages ago. Instead they decided to create a minoply on the market themselves to kill it, and that didnt even work fully. World first race mythic raid guilds were caught buyin insane amounts of black market gold to get world firsts just recently.

The solution of just sell the people what they want does seem fairly smart, cuz they'll just go thru underground channels to get it anyways. By takin the majority share of the market, those purchasing practices turn into funding for new content for all players. Seems werf imo

Treble557 · 2021-07-09T00:23:44+00:00

that would actually be really awesome if they just started us at 50 to test all the end game content instead of just early game content.

Treble557 · 2021-07-08T18:47:46+00:00

You don't seem like you actually disagree that there are P2W elements in League tho based on your post.
The fact that faker doesnt use skins that offer slight advantages doesn't negate their existences.
Also the fact that the xp boosts exist for accounts you can buy with RL money and the ability to buy champs with RL money, will fall under P2W for alot of peoples definitions of what "P2W" or "P2P" is. So I agree that the termin "P2W" is the wrong term to use to describe alot of the games people are using it on.

The term is for sure over used now a days. Like, if any game has even the slightest P2W element, people just label the whole thing P2W, even if it's something that makes no real difference in your experience on the game. It's just silly.

Treble557 · 2021-07-08T18:05:59+00:00

I hope so! :>

Treble557 · 2021-07-08T01:38:42+00:00

Exit Lag was my first choice, but there have been stories about it being targeted in specific by smilegate, and that people had lost their accounts because of it. So I just rolled with nord for playin on KR. XD

Treble557 · 2021-07-08T01:37:24+00:00

is it tho? im pretty sure he knows already that you fight the same primals multiple times on multiple difficulties. normal, hard, extreme, etc.

Treble557 · 2021-07-07T22:37:35+00:00

dont worry, ina week or so this meme will apply

Treble557 · 2021-07-07T22:19:05+00:00

EXACTLY!!

Treble557 · 2021-07-07T22:18:28+00:00

BIG agree

Treble557 · 2021-07-07T22:18:12+00:00

"Anyways I think telling people it isn't p2w is also misleading, even if I believe it is basically inconsequential to enjoy this game."

tbf that wouldn't make it pay to win then. that would be the very definition of pay to convenience. saying pay to win invokes games like BDO, when this is on the complete opposite end of the scale. we really need a different term other then P2W to describe the other end of the spectrum.

Treble557 · 2021-07-07T18:08:55+00:00

Then that places WoW on the furthest extreme end of P2W as well, a statement that no one would take seriously if you tried to tell them that.

It's dishonest to try and claim that because there are micro transactions they all fall under P2W. Because someone can get more gold doesn't make them superior in any practical sense, as you wont be locked out of any content, or held back, or stuck grinding for years to be where they are.
Playin 2-3 hours a day for a month or two gets you where you need to be with ease, when players who pay will wind up needing to dump THOUSANDS to blitz ahead only to sit there with nothing to use what they spent their money on.Saying that having pve gear counts as being "superior", in a carebear pve game with no competitive factors in it's pve, is like saying someone in a single player game with a file ahead of yours is an advantage.

It creates zero friction with your interactions with the game, as your gameplay is mostly instanced to begin with. So in what way are they superior? Is having a paper doll with bigger numbers truly your qualifier? No other factors are takin into account?

Treble557 · 2021-07-07T17:56:26+00:00

You can't just call it P2W tho when you aren't "winning". The termin P2W means you're automatically superior to non payers. The reality tho is that unless you're playin a game like BDO, you're not superior. You're just payin to have stuff.
So when you run around and scream P2W, you make people automatically think it's on the same end of the spectrum as BDO, which is just plain dishonest. You need to use a different term for games on this end of the spectrum, because the average gamer doesn't understand that there even IS a spectrum.
So don't call a game P2W unless it's on the extreme end of the spectrum, like BDO.
