Why can't there be any actual skill involved? Why should we have to put in thousands upon thousands of hours doing a boring action like punching codes to enjoy the game????

I argued this from my very first day when I realized the game is more data entry then a game. You told me I was wrong. That was over a year and a half ago. Funny how you are finally seeing the light.

I'm fine with this. Belial is voicing a real concern here, not just his own. What chance do I have or other relatively new players to ever compete a the top? Belial is the anti-concept guy. Systems always need that to push forward new ideas. I half suspect Belial is Nick's developer....

Wow, now that is quite a thought! A secret, self-loathing programmer, spending his nights writing features he thinks will ruin the game, but fail to do so every time.

I fully suspect you are a complete idiot

Fact is there is a problem. Albeit not a crippling one. New mobsters no matter their effort or time spent could ever catch up to top players. I've punched almost every code on ICM since I started in Mid december and I'm not even half the size of the top guys. There is no way for new players to catch up no matter time or effort spent.

Thanks. Class act, that.

At buffalo. I've been the top player. There was a time where I could say I hadn't been in a v for a year because at the time there was no reason to be. I could modify Belial for any challenge. That's change now but my point is being at the top isn't all it's cracked up to be. I was bored 99% of my time there

Truth is Belial is just someone thus never ever happy. He wasn't happy as a struggling mid who thought he'd never make top player. He wasn't happy as top player and he's not happy after giving it up because now he can't be top player. Players will come and go but the one constant is Belial will still be here bitching about being unhappy.

I started mid-end of december and I'm only back to febuary 12/11 and I have more mob ... I doubt you've punched nearly all codes on icm

Yes, I realize that. And I love this game. Just frustrating because I'm ridiculously competitive and think there should be a way for me to compete at the top if I choose too.

There is. Keep at it. That's all.If you really want it that bad it can be yours for the taking. Punch all Icm. Then when you're done punch the whole thing again looking for resets. Then maybe after that try it again and again. These are things some of us have done for that top mob spot.
👿Belial Mar 31, 2012

Lol and I'm blowing my whole arguement apart now.

I didn't start temps until about 3 weeks ago. And I'm about 4k from the end

This much I could gather from other threads. My apparently idiotic argument was to claim that systems always need this, regardless of whether right or wrong. You are the idealist constantly at war, even with the old Belial.

Mob cap is an interesting element that needs more consideration.

B you must remember the game was not created for you. Real money to nick and others. Good for them. We just play for fun and increase their bank accounts as we do. Their choice. Our choice.

I agree with Belial here. Never thought I would but this I agree with. No matter what happens in game he wouldn't be happy about it.

Fact remains I just don't feel that thousands of codes should be a requirement. Why do we have to do a not fun act to have fun in a game?
Brutex Apr 1, 2012

I know I haven't been on in a while (it's me fum) but IMO there should be events frequently, like limited time loot or annual loot or something
BakedBananas Apr 1, 2012

Hmmm, B. mob size didn't seem to bother you she you were #1 on the mob leader board. Besides, what on earth would we do with our lIves if we weren't punchIng codes 24/7?

Maybe you could come up with an Ida and start your own game instead of trying to changes nicks....

B, I see where you're coming from with this. The endless punching, it's almost ridiculous, and there's no end in sight. And like soneome else said, if I ever felt like I wanted to compete with mobs such as Micky, H@VOC, etc etc, I can't. There is no way in hell I could ever catch up.

However, this is a game. There are pros and cons. Not everyone will be happy with every aspect of this game. And there is nothing any of us can do about that.

In essence, BE PROUD OF THE MOB YOU HAVE! If you worked for it, put time into it, then be proud, no matter how big or small

There could be another systerm implemented to kill of stalemates. I think the point is there should be a light at the end of the tunnel. There should be a time when you have time to actually play the game instead of merely punching every day.

I agree totally

I challenge you to do a forum search in this. I've always been for mob caps. Back even in Tom Hagans day I was for it. I always said make it 10k above the biggest mob.
👿Belial Apr 1, 2012

What ive always been against is automatic accepts, mob assigned to turf, mob limits by level and a few other ideas as these are not a solution but simply create another problem.
