I've been on Team Liquid for 5 years and have posted on the forums at least 35,000+ times. I don't know why you guys just don't ask me, I've never lied and have always been around.

Don't need to ask around me as if I've shifted away from the sites or something.

It looks like an open question rather than one directed at the very person he has access to speak to. As long as you're not abrasive or an asshole, I'm pretty receptive to most questions.

whats wrong with someone asking if he should seek compensation for something they dedicate time to when he/she has no other avenues of revenue

he compiles information gleaned from others so casuals dont have to spend time on google builds
it's like donating on wikipedia i mean i could go out and find these articles on peer reviewed journals and read through the abstracts one by one but aint nobody got time for that shit

if u dont like his guides then don't donate it's voluntary not an obligation the fucks wrong with you guys

yeah but wikipedia is a useful resource and those guides are terrible because our strategy forum is terrible.

It sounds like you either have an answer for me or you simply want to be unnecessarily aggressive.

This topic has seriously become a cesspool of cynicism that continues to spur whatever IRC was also being. It's NADota minus the profanity.

There is nothing inherently wrong with donating. I personally don't like creating that extension or tip-jar setup, but for those who want to do these community sort of things (twitch streaming, writing satirical articles) and want to make it full-time; I think that's fine and it's exactly as you say: If you don't like it, don't support it.

In the end, you're supporting a service or convenience and it's simply the easiest way to show your appreciation.

then ur argument is practically indefensible
a product has to have value for it to sell? why do people buy audis then?

value is in the eye of the beholder if casual plebs want to use a one-size-fits-all guide then why does that bother you so much?

I actually think Torte's guides are worth a lot. Sure, you could argue that they're based on a lot of advice from various people, but he's the one who puts the vast amount of time in to correct them and keep them up to date after every single patch.

If you don't use them then fine but they're an amazing resource for the vast majority of Dota players.

I am 5,012 MMR. I started solo-ranked at 4.2K and after the Glimmer Cape small patch; I played Undying and Lich to reach 5,012.

No not because I don't believe it (I trust him not to lie) but because I thought he was about 4.2k.
