On January 13 2011 18:39 Nefariously wrote: sounds like a nice way to farm portraits Yeah, though it really depends on how often people actually play fairly and leave when they lose. This would be a fun and tireless way to grind wins if the opposing player accepts and sticks to the rule of leaving if they lose. Some players just want the achievements and portraits and grinding for them takes the fun out of the game, so they want to find way to quickly obtain those achievements or portraits. In Team Fortress 2, there were achievement servers where the goal was to either: 1. Idle to get items (you get a 20% chance every 20 minutes to get an item). TF2's system of finding items simply just involve game play time rather than getting points or so. Fortunately (or unfortunately) Valve doesn't really care about achievement servers (really it ruins the gameplay if everyone was trying to get achievements on regular servers rather than one designed for achievements). OR 2. Help each other get achievement (like perform <specific task which requires not actually helping your team win the game>). Also in BF2 - There were sure a lot of times people just used Knife (not caring about helping teammates) just to try to get the Expert Knife Badge. Also times where people went Squad Leader just to obtain hours for being a Squad Leader for an achievement (this is despite the fact there are 10 other empty Squads a player can join instead). Those are just a few examples of achievement addiction ruining players lives. Well maybe not but I really dislike achievements sometimes and I disagree with Bashiok's statement on D3 about achievements being a "bragging rights" reward. Personally, I prefer thinking of Achievements as a test of whether someone can resist them or not rather than anything else.

It is not because they think it is fine for players to do this, no chance. I agree. Blizzard would definitely care if nearly every player was doing it. Imagine what the "gaming media" would think of Blizzard proudly presenting their ladder and their next gen RTS "SC2" when in actuality it's filled with players playing rock paper scissor instead of SC2. About not wanting to make a big deal out of the situation - Sadly it seems to be the case with Blizzard lately in regards to custom maps and popularity system. The Custom Map Feedback thread was made in August 2010, but yet it still has had no replies or acknowledgment from Blizzard. Also it has only 4 replies per day, I doubt they can't hire or find someone to read 4 posts per day and make replies. They need better PR with custom mappers. | ||

Why couldn't blizzard look at IcCup for example and make the same or similar system? The current rating system is not even accurate as people that were D on IcCup are now platinum players. | ||

You're right, Choya should boycott the GSL and just not even show up! As its been stated before. Ladder may be used to sort through B class qualifiers leagues. Its GOMTV's tourney, and they can do what they please. In my opinion, Choya is no real loss, as I want to watch a decent level macro game. | ||
