You should explain your point if you want to pass for someone with a minimum of brain. Coming out with such things is just for trollers.

Whats the fun for A/A+ ppl to play vs D/C? Just to ladder up their ranks raping poor newbs in 7 minutes games? The "SC points" is to give these players the opportunity to skip boring useless games.

or a D player to buy points up to B and give the B players useless boring games?
as vodtoast said, buying points is stupid. the whole point of having a point system is for it to accurately represent a players skill relative to others. if you let people buy points you might as well just throw away the point system lol

also, its always fun stomping noobs. i dont think ive seen anyone ever complain that stomping noobs was too boring

Premising 1% is using the store, so it's not like everyone is buying points, even if a D player want to buy B to be smashed down D again 0-50 it's his own choice.
Anyway in 3 years I've never seen something like this.

Now stay on topic please.

So basically the A/A+ player should get points by buying them?
Guess what, loads of bw players don`t bother to play ladder anymore, because by they get to their level, it`s suddenly end season and holy reset time. Most of us don`t have that kind of capacity and (mainly) time to restart laddering in every ~2-3-4 months. I know a bunch of players who don`t play, just because they`re not really like to play D/D- players up to their level, and even more who won`t bother restarting knowing the fact, that if he plays x number of games, he won`t even reach to his level of play just because he doesn`t have enough time before a reset.
So what`s the reason of the reset? I don`t see any reason for it.

The only reason selling points on bw iccup is stupid is that all the players are on low ranks anyway.

I never said that there is any fun in A players ( all 3 of them, lol ) playing vs D players. Don't straw man me, that's not what my argument is about.

My point is obviously that I only want players to reach C or B, and even D+, the proper way. Anything else ruins the legitimacy and value of those ranks.
When a new player starts playing StarCraft, he has to work his ass off to get to C-... unless he just buys the rank. And that's stupid. The rating system should be about performance in the game, not money spent on the store.

It is ridiculous that I have to explain this.

Yeah, it is, because you give a public expression of stupidity*, which is anything like you. I'm somewhat confident that you don't even take your own statement nearly as seriously, as you make it sound, and that's the underlying problem of this whole topic, or any topic about ICCup [replace with other non-TL.net content] on this page. Admit it, you mainly come here to argue for arguement's sake, Läderlappen** (I'm gonna feed you anyway <3).


*
  • I made that sound extra harsh to get your attention and because I could
  • players cheat their ranks all the time, either by all-in, having friends play, or share accouns. Don't hear you biching about that.
  • if you skip ranks like that, it holds you back from improving, true enough. However, point above shows that the potential bias for rankings is found elsewhere, also next point:
  • There are almost 0 cases for BW, in which points are bought. The main stuff is wasted on fancy icons.
  • only idiots give a crap about rankings, if they truely want to improve. If you want to improve, you want equal opponents. Compare to point above, the bias is minimal.
  • One of the dev guys once said, if it really becomes a problem, they'll take care of it, but w/e, developers are criminals***


**I'm so proud I learned this word

***I really mean that


I don't know why I even bother writing this, I'm sure the next GGZerGish user is just around the corner, waiting to jump on me, for not being positive enough, for not shooting rainbows out of my ass, or phrased differently, not trying to get a +1 for writing how awesome the latest SoSPA tidbit is.

It's mind blowing how little TL's community thinks, or how absurd the ideas are. Where does that come from, really? In this topic Face just asked if someone could help out running what's left of the biggest foreign server - that's basically it. He has no incentive for potential workers, and he knows it, yet he tries to make due with what he has. He wants to show that, if he had a bank roll to operate with, he would give back more than a "thank you", because admins will get shit for their work (as displayed in this topic). What's then made out of the statement is:

Jidda Jadda, we're hating you for trying to provide the community with some opportunity to actually play, instead of consuming Korea.


All that store crap is an ICCup-global idea, just like TL.net's TL+ feature. Deal with it. It comes "from above", it wasn't ICCup BW team's idea, nor does that mean ICCup BW admins like it. They like the idea, that they can still manage their server in parts, organize a ladder and some tournaments. In the beginning, this entire store bullcrap was done for DotA, and only later expanded.

Before you know try to blame ICCup in general: From what I learned Ant uses the money to run the pages, the servers, and what else he has to. There's little to no stuff left to make profit off it. Yet, I'd agree, it's not a good idea, but w/e, there's no downside to it for 99,99% of the players, nor is there any evidence that buing points on ICCup is a really huge problems. Actually, I know more pissed of wannabes hating on "B- playing on D".

Seriously though, take this topic as question for help from people who like BW and actually make contributions for the game we all claim to love, not as something you should try to load your criticism off. What they can do, they do. When they can't change things, they can't. You don't have to join them, but you certainly don't have to blame them for things that weren't their idea.

I can't imagine how a interested person would few these forums: Everything related to actually playing the game is soaked in elitism of the worst kind. The game's too hard to play, the servers are shit, the admins are idiots, there are no good players, ded game, however Korean streams are fuuuun, routers are a bitch, you can't make the launchers run correctly, there are no beginners, lose 1000 games - the list of stereotypes is endless, and not even 5% of them are true.

I like what ICCup face does. He helps out the Brood War community, of which I am a part. If I wasn't so mentally unstable that I on occasion regress in to a fetal position and do nothing for a week, then I would consider becoming a ladder complaint solver.

I also think that the ICCup store is a good idea - just not the part about buying points.
Edit: Or removing chat bans, lol

the game's too hard to play
lose 1000 games before a win

-> you managed it, and you didn't even have enough air during your birth, so that's definitely not supporting the theory about the game.

servers are shit
rounters cant be handled
launchers are so-so hard to set up

-> it's never been easier to chose where to play (garena, icc, fish, vs, battle.net, ...), to get support via google or via tech savvy people (think of xboi or liquipedia). it's not much time investment, unless you were born with your mental capability

there are no beginners

-> again, tons of information out, well structured, and there were beginner tours. better environment than ever, but bitchin' bout B- on D is easier


admins are idiots

admins are and will always be idiots in the eye of the average user, for the same reason that people like to read the yellow press. Almost forgot, you can't properly read.

leaves ded game: well you can still play it, no?

You can... buy points. What the fuck.

And Face, you're acting like a complete asshole to Toast when what he is saying is completely legitimate. It's not boring for someone to get from D to A, it doesn't even take that long. You're just being a jerk when you say:

I'm somewhat confident that you don't even take your own statement nearly as seriously, as you make it sound, and that's the underlying problem of this whole topic, or any topic about ICCup [replace with other non-TL.net content] on this page. Admit it, you mainly come here to argue for arguement's sake, Läderlappen** (I'm gonna feed you anyway <3).


*
  • I made that sound extra harsh to get your attention and because I could
  • players cheat their ranks all the time, either by all-in, having friends play, or share accouns. Don't hear you biching about that.
  • if you skip ranks like that, it holds you back from improving, true enough. However, point above shows that the potential bias for rankings is found elsewhere, also next point:
  • There are almost 0 cases for BW, in which points are bought. The main stuff is wasted on fancy icons.
  • only idiots give a crap about rankings, if they truely want to improve. If you want to improve, you want equal opponents. Compare to point above, the bias is minimal.
  • One of the dev guys once said, if it really becomes a problem, they'll take care of it, but w/e, developers are criminals***


**I'm so proud I learned this word

***I really mean that


I don't know why I even bother writing this, I'm sure the next GGZerGish user is just around the corner, waiting to jump on me, for not being positive enough, for not shooting rainbows out of my ass, or phrased differently, not trying to get a +1 for writing how awesome the latest SoSPA tidbit is.

It's mind blowing how little TL's community thinks, or how absurd the ideas are. Where does that come from, really? In this topic Face just asked if someone could help out running what's left of the biggest foreign server - that's basically it. He has no incentive for potential workers, and he knows it, yet he tries to make due with what he has. He wants to show that, if he had a bank roll to operate with, he would give back more than a "thank you", because admins will get shit for their work (as displayed in this topic). What's then made out of the statement is:

Jidda Jadda, we're hating you for trying to provide the community with some opportunity to actually play, instead of consuming Korea.


All that store crap is an ICCup-global idea, just like TL.net's TL+ feature. Deal with it. It comes "from above", it wasn't ICCup BW team's idea, nor does that mean ICCup BW admins like it. They like the idea, that they can still manage their server in parts, organize a ladder and some tournaments. In the beginning, this entire store bullcrap was done for DotA, and only later expanded.

Before you know try to blame ICCup in general: From what I learned Ant uses the money to run the pages, the servers, and what else he has to. There's little to no stuff left to make profit off it. Yet, I'd agree, it's not a good idea, but w/e, there's no downside to it for 99,99% of the players, nor is there any evidence that buing points on ICCup is a really huge problems. Actually, I know more pissed of wannabes hating on "B- playing on D".

Seriously though, take this topic as question for help from people who like BW and actually make contributions for the game we all claim to love, not as something you should try to load your criticism off. What they can do, they do. When they can't change things, they can't. You don't have to join them, but you certainly don't have to blame them for things that weren't their idea.

I can't imagine how a interested person would few these forums: Everything related to actually playing the game is soaked in elitism of the worst kind. The game's too hard to play, the servers are shit, the admins are idiots, there are no good players, ded game, however Korean streams are fuuuun, routers are a bitch, you can't make the launchers run correctly, there are no beginners, lose 1000 games - the list of stereotypes is endless, and not even 5% of them are true.



+100500

Why the fuck you guys are arguing about that store which existed about exactly existence of iCCup server? You guys don't have anything to argue about? Get a job& life please. We are nearly facing the end of BW but still holding on and you writing about a thing which won't provide any help for server. Accentuating attention about dumb things like points when D rank channel barely comes into 20-30 users and peak to 50?

And calling Face asshole isn't nice. I think TL should ban that guy.

So, what I suggest is to ban every whining ass here who stays out of topic. Face said he recruits admins - so the one's who wish to be admins only need to answer. Rest of - STFU for sake of BW.

truth lies in both arguments if you think about it.

On the one hand, voddy is perfectly reasonable when he claims that buying ladder points DOES to some extent devalue the worth of the ICC ranking system.

Then again, one has to put that into perpective: with the amount of players still playing and the incentive to ladder anyway going shallow, this shouldn't be a big issue. It's not like we're trying to qualify for a tournament of something. And in that case, buyed points could be counted out nonetheless. Furthermore, projecting a lot on your ladderrank is pretty futile nowaydays. I know a ton good players who could perhaps reach C+/B- but never ladder enough and i loose a ton of games "D/D+ gogo" vs far better players. Im not complaining about having better opponents, but it means it warps the rank i can achieve in a season. Well on the other hand i play a lot of guys who go 3 sunks before pool, so it might equal out.

Point is: the server is empty, so we should focus on the positive or

play more, chatcraft less. Do more stuff, watch less streams. Make fewer grudgematch threads, play more grudgematches.
This community needs to stop talking over the game and play the game. Complain less, become ICC staff member

That is a good and smart incentive to make people want to do more admin work, also I wouldn't mind helping out on iCCup but it would be a little different ( IE Hosting tournaments / events )
