@Xigbar This was the ideal situation for you to apologise, but ud rather talk about trivialities. Its beyond me how you think that you are in a position to make fun of (or try to) someone else, but as i said in my post, im done with it. I wish you the best of luck to find the help you desperately need.

Alright, i just have to do this and altough some people insist on my looking for drama in the wrong thread, this is the perfect one to do it. @Xigbar I still dont know why you did what you did by catfishing in this game for months and to be quite honest I hated you for what you did for months, as much as i didnt hate any other human being for a long time and i didnt bother trying to hide it - maybe thats why i had to soak up a lot of hate. Every single one of your lies has been debunked, yet you insisted on feeding people more lies. You toyed with a lot of peoples feelings and even when you got caught red handed you didnt manage to face the shit you stirred and you never offered an apology to people you hurt. You simply didnt and still dont give a fuck, yet you feel happy about winning a community event within a community you took a huge crap on. You didnt just stop at trying to deceive this whole community; you even went as far as instrumentalizing the death of someone close to you to fish for attention, yet you run around calling people psychopaths and attention uguus. To me that is just as disgusting as it gets and it made me angry af. In the end you´re just not worth it - you´re not worth anything. Took me a while to realise, but better late than never. On the other hand i still dont see why a community openly welcomes someone back who hurt a lot of peoples feelings just for attention and personal enjoyment in a manner that clown did - without ever dropping an apology. The sole fact that Xigbar/Roxxass took part in this event made it a farce. Really great community (event) and congrats on empoleons for winning it all. Tbh i was still salty about only a few people having the guts to walk up to me and apoligizing for how much shit they threw at me throughout this while roxxass ordeal, altough ive been right all along and i was disgusted, kinda still am, by how people just stand by and let that selfish kid have his way in this community event, but i dont know why i expected people to have a backbone - my bad. Just needed to get that off my chest, because all these negative feelings consumed me and i already feel this was the right thing to do. Merry christmas and good start to 2021 everybody.

You delusional little pos. Unlike you i didnt cosplay a girl for months, which then died and reincarnated as her brother. The fact that you actually have the fkn audacity to call me out on attention whoring after milking your own "death" for weeks - mind blowing. Now commit real slipped in bathroom pls.

Thanks buddy and you´ll be able to decide for an octave one day. I believe in both of us! g2g to bed now, gn bishes

Since you sounded like you recorded that tc podcast from below gbs desk you should probably be concerned about other diseases than cancer and covid. Actually makes the butthurtler even more hilarious.

Easily top 3 team in 2020..oh wait.

Can someone please record the match? With the bets placed on it this turned out to be pretty hype.

This is hype!

Nobody ever argued about OU always having the majority of the playerbase backing it up with all tiers being up at the same time and that isnt the issue to begin with. If there was an insane reward for finishing the 10k mark in UU/NU naturally people would get into these tiers, or at least have the interest getting into those, so prizes arent completely irrelevant. In fact how equally bad they are is a problem - you cant give people hats every single season. Similar rewards further nurtures keeping player distribution the way it is. An imbalance of reward value could be a way to get people curious. I am also gonna repeat this and maybe im overlooking an obvious flaw; but the proper way to sell B and C isnt to take A out of your sortiment, but to make B and C appealing to people, because ideally you want people to consume A, B and C, because of all these demand multiple people consuming them in order to be attractive. The solution to this is figuring out why people dont buy B and C and taking proper steps to make them attractive enough for a wide mass of players to want to consume/buy them - all of them; at any time, because availability makes a good product.

I completely agree, but thats the one thing ive literally given up on. The rewarding times to play comp are over, because there wont be a shiny zard reward anymore. Shame really, but dead horse.

I mean i like the idea of getting actual good rewards for placing high on the ladder, but in the end the same thing that happens this season will occur every month if shiny prizes are a thing; someones gonna nolife and if at all a handful of people will be able to compete for the top spots, whereas in tours you got a set frame of up to 7 matches to get a shiny, which is doable for a lot more people. Even if the lower tier ladders were active 24/7, would you wanna play 1k+ games to have a chance to get a shiny? Not worth the effort imo. Improving the prizes of seasonal tours on the other hand sounds like a good idea, because the grind necessary should be more realistically doable, since you´re gonna compete with 63 people, not a bunch of nolifing ones. Doubt we´ll see top tier shinies tho, cause ye, economy :^) This! I honestly dont see the problem with vanity items not being tradeable, because theres way better options to grab some yen in comparison. The problem is that you can only promote tiers with vanity items as the "top reward" as long as people dont have the vanity they desire. Rewards are shit once you grabbed the free comp each rotation and got the vanity you want, so dont see a reason to spam games anymore. And in conjunction to what quinn said; if the vanity items were tradeable, wouldnt the biggest winners be the rich guys in mmo, altough they literally didnt do anything for that "reward" ? Both rewards are just vanity, because its not like that shiny prize has too much competitive value either. Still a better ratio of (time) investment and reward, but in the end both are kinda useless unless you wanna show off something special. Yeah. I think they only fix to the whole problem has to do something with lowering access cost to play UU/NU and smh making playing those ladders attractive. Maybe give people access to sample teams for UU/NU. Those sample teams can be used without having to own the pokes until they reach x points on the reward tree or something; give out more breeding support packages via rewards; daily quest reward points that can be traded for a free comp eventually, stuff like that. Theres probably plenty of better ideas, but imo allowing people to playtest and cheaply entering UU/NU > I dont think giving UU/NU players better rewards doesnt make sense. Only giving them better rewards wont suffice, but i think it has to be part of the solution. Kinda doubt OU players will quit the game because rewards in lower tiers are better, but they might wanna swap or expand the pool of tiers they play. Thats where there has to be something that supports people getting into the tiers / where some kind of promotion could kick in. In the end lower tiers are just part of the product and they´re waiting to be sold to people properly. If whoever sells the product doesnt care or doesnt know how to do it, it wont sell. Thats the main issue i think.

I dont see how its irrelevant to say you gotta compete with someone who plays 1k games in 2 months, which you obviously cant, when you have a life after someone says its not very attractive to grind hundreds of games to compete for #1.

Just get the same job Junior has and play 1k rankeds in 2 months. Pretty easy tbh.

When you have three options, and one of them seems attractive, while the other two dont; what do you think makes more sense? 1) Take choices from people, by temporarily locking the attractive one, only leaving them the less desired ones 2) Making the other two options more attractive and promoting them (however that may look like)

So i finished my biba hat grind like a week ago and it was a pain in the ass. The most annoying part is that you have to play the same 5 people over and over again. I played one person like 15 out of 20 matches, which just feels stupid. Not the systems fault tho, yes. What also is annoying, is how you get like 15 points if your opponent forfeits turn 5. Theres people who check if they can get an advantage early and if they dont, because you check their zoro they just leave. Up to 10min of q time, finding a match and getting 15 points, maybe even less - fun. Even worse if you play a 30min game and dont get anything, but 150 bp. Another problem i see is how UU and NU are dead in comparison to OU, but you still need 10k points for the vanity. Thats like 250 wins per season; 83 per month; 2,8 a day - just wins, not games. So if you dont have a somewhat decent winrate, which isnt even that easy, because usually NU folks have played the game for quite a while, thats an outrageous amount of grind, considering sometimes you just hang in q and dont find games, because NU has like an 8h activity window. NU is just a shit hole of a tier. Idk why we dont have RU yet and i dont think itll happen any time soon. I do realise thats highly subjective, but if it wasnt for that hat, i would have quit grinding 50 games in, because the tier is just fkn random and literally 0 fun. Highly subjective tho, i get that. In my opinion: 1) Reward people for not just skipping through games. If a games lasts 15+ min, why not just give the loser some points as well? 2) If you dont do 1) altough its the better way to approach this, lower the points necessary to get the vanity item. 10k in a dead tier is just stupid. 3) Start promoting lower tiers. OU is active 24/7, UU and NU are dead, give people a reason to q for UU and NU. Do some happy hour; add actual useful items. 2 weeks ago we had a bp charme...i mean, a bp charme for a tier where you dont even know if you find games. Really enjoyed that one :)

1. Can you quote who said that? 2. Can you please quote someone who was whining about losing to a new player in this thread? Must have missed it, sorry, but also thanks in advance. Do i have to explain how stupid it is to tell people to just cteam that "perfect" team in a bracket where they dont know who they face or do you realise yourself? Do you realise how wide of a tier NU is and that theres a lot more to cover than you possibly can, thus a "perfect" team being built is fkn impossible; that theres always some kind of strat or mon that you cant beat? How stupid of "better" players to have bad match ups. 3. Can you please quote someone whining about losing to randoms? Kinda covered that in 2. and cant sweat enough how fkn stupid and naive that claim is. I struggle to see how you reach the conclusion that better builders shouldnt lose due to match ups, but enlighten me please. And if you are graceful enough to do so, please try to reach logical conclusions this time around - or the first time around rather. 4. Brackets have only been randoms back in the days. One solid person per bracket, no glory in it at all, because everything was just cteaming round1 until finals. Yeah, you got em good Einstein! Claiming that people only won tournaments in the past, because they had an advantage in ressources is a bold claim, but since nobody would be so damn stupid to just throw that around hoping to get away with it, i am sure you can give me some kind of evidence that that is the case? Evidence as in real facts , i dont give a fuck about what you feel is evident. 5. Ngl, it also gets fucking annoying having to deal with people like you, who just throw around empty "facts", implications and assumptions. You managed to say nothing, but how disgusted you are with people that "whine" about that new system, though i even struggle to find these people in here. All you´re doing is fighting straw mans. As a rule of thumb; if gb likes your post, chances are that you just managed to pull such a post, congrats! While you are at it, feel free to enlighten me on how people in this thread are being hypocrites. Do you even understand what that word means? Oh and dont get the wrong impression; im neither salty nor mad at you. Its just tiring having to face this "style of argumentation" from people that are way too confident in the emotional bs they spout, while they think they are taking a logical approach.

Imo this new system is just boring af to watch, which is all i care about in tours these days. Its, as someone said in the other thread, just mm with prizes added. No dynamics whatsoever. But what is kinda annoying is how people insist on claiming the old system promoted cteaming so much. The only reason it helped to cteam was because people were too lazy to build several teams. Cteaming working isnt a given, it is a damn choice! This new system has the same flaw. People just grind their one team until finals and get cteamed there. I fail to see how this new system is a benefit in that regard. I also dont know how blindly playing people, not knowing their tendencies even, promotes skill, or more skill rather. Bad match ups are a thing, even more so if you dont know that you´re about to face some niche strat like weather, screens, or w/e else there is to cheese. NU rn is pretty fucked up and heres so much random shit you cant possibly cover in one team. To me this new system is match up fishing and as i said above lacks certain dynamics that make watching tours appealing. Old system: Just swap your teams if you dont want to be cteamed. New system: Just spam the same team every round and dont bother building more than two, in case you wanna avoid being cteamed in finals, which funnily enough happened to two "randoms" in NU tours lately. Really promotes a lot of skill. Especially if you consider team building a skill as well, which i do. That key skill is just deminished completely in this new system. A new system which demands you to lock your boxes prior to the tour registration and enables you to know who you are going to face seems to be the best possible system there is for all of us. Cool idea actually, pachi. E: Well, credits to pachi. derp :p

Trashtalk aside, gz on a very well deserved 2nd place. You guys had a challenging bracket and those finals were hype af, at least for me. The preemptive ggnore kinda derp, but yeah. In the end same as always tho, NORE >

Are we still pretending that dicussing things in these threads actually makes something happen? :rose: UU folks please take blaziken.

Idk if there has been any of these lately, but using search i only get shiny hunting related stuff, so here we go again. Scrolling through chat to count pp while battling is as distracting as it is annoying and sometimes just not possible cause op mmo timer mechanics. Give us the pp counter please!

How?

People: "TC needs a revamp" Munya: "Ok, lets put Stealian and JJ in " If you actually want a competent TC, wouldnt it make more sense to (considering you´d think that giving 1/3 of the votes avilable to any one team ever is a good idea - which it isnt) contribute those to the best team in the game and people who are actively and successfully competing? Why is someone who attempts to argue against banning a pokemon, but then continues listing reasons that support a ban, in the tier council? When someone cant even reflect on their own words, because they are so terribly biased; why does someone like that get to have a say in tiering?! Why is JJ in TC? Why dont you just kick Zebra, who even openly admitted to give 0 fucks and doesnt even play the game anymore? Will TC discussions be more transparent in the future since theres one team holding 1/3 of the votes? I honestly cant stress enough how stupid that is... _ People complain about how TC doesnt work out and you go ahead and make it even worse. Its so damn confusing.
