weird message https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=23194.msg294399#msg294399
« on: March 20, 2011, 01:46:53 am »
I got this weird message from someone i don't want to name:

"Can you please stop hogging the T50's spots please? I ask this on behalf of the community because it is very annoying to grind against your decks (you're never a farm) and it isn't fair to people who wants a go at the T50. Please kindly stop this for the newbies."

This is a disturbing note on many levels.

1. My 'hogging' is due to changing ips, and consists only of 2 spots on T50, which is nowhere near special. I see people with many more slots swamping T50. This problem shouldn't be blamed on players, it is the scorekeeping software that should delete old entries of the same name. I cannot affect this, since i cannot lower my score and won't stop playing the game just to let T50 sweep past me.

2. "you are never a farm". That in itself is BS. Currently, and last day too, i had a very nice SoR/Pharaoh farm. Just the kind i would love to meet :)

3.  "Please kindly stop this for the newbies"   - Come on. Farms are a gift to newbies, not a right. I got to T50 because I fought against easy farms in T50. If the game became harder, it is because L3 is harder now and/or you use the wrong deck.

Yes, I've been concerned with the reason as to why you seem to always take up multiple spots in the T50 list every week myself.  Firstly, for what seems like the past few months I cannot recall you actually only taking up 2 spots on the T50 list.  In fact, I seem to recall you taking up 4-5 spots on the T50 list which is why I'm sure several people have found this irritating because regardless of whether they're grinding for rares or just dueling challenging decks to take a break from the boring same old AIs, your deck appears over and over and over and over again.

Regardless of how the scoring system works, there are other ways to check your status in T50 if you absolutely cannot stand not knowing where your score places (which I personally never have understood why this fascination exists in the first place).  The simplest way to do this would be to use the score system through the trainer, which obviously does not record your score in the T50.  I understand if you don't feel like going through this trouble, but at the very least I'm sure your "haters" would back off of you in the mean time.

For the most part, I agree with you, T50, rares, etc. are a privilege, not a right and you are free to do as you please.  However at the same time it's called Top 50 for a reason; sooner or later someone is going to resent getting kicked out by that person who occupies more than one space which is when complications arise.

Yep, i agree that multiple entries on T50 are irritating. I don't like that either.

Word.

The community's now too used to farms that they think as if farms are their right, as avenger said. Maybe we should all have a week where NO ONE puts up a farm >:D

I'd like someone who's not t50 to say something on this thread.

If you ask it...

Agreed in both points. Farming is a privilege we should thank, not a right at all.

I got this weird message from someone i don't want to name:

"Can you please stop hogging the T50's spots please? I ask this on behalf of the community because it is very annoying to grind against your decks (you're never a farm) and it isn't fair to people who wants a go at the T50. Please kindly stop this for the newbies."

1- Don't have the least clue of how the scoring and that ip stuff work, so IDK.

2- You don't even need to say this. It doesn't come to the point, and it's plainly stupid to force anybody to put even one farm in its entire life in T50. See "3-"

3- Farms are a gift, not a right. 'nuff said

1. Does it really matter so much whether you're in place 10 or 12 on T50 list? Is it really that important for you to resubmit your score multiple times per one week, when you DO know that it may result causing that bug for getting 2 OR MORE spots on T50 list? "Please kindly stop this for the other elderly players being in T30-50!"

2. "you are never a farm". Total BS argument.

3. "Please kindly stop this for the newbies." = Please think of the children! :'( Who cares...

...there are other ways to check your status in T50 ...
The simplest way to do this would be to use the score system through the trainer.

That would be me.  For awhile, I have not played on T50 for the sole fact of the farms.  I really believe that they are ruining the concept of rares so that now everyone has them.  People have to remember that those farms are not up there because the people have the right to play them.  They are a gift from then top players and people should be thankful for them, not greedy and hastily asking for more.  Saying that newbies have a right to farms is like saying I have a right to face the easiest FG every time with an optimal hand and always EM him.  Its complete BS.  I think that having a no farm week is a great idea, should teach people a lesson.

Some ppl do ask and that in itself is a privilege whether those who r in t50 should respond to it or not. If they get cocky i tell them,"You want rares? Ask. If they complain about harms, just say I want You to Work for it. Besides the T50 r players too. They dont show off or brag or such. They help. end quote.

It's the multiple entries part that bothers most. I'm in t50 usually once, sometimes twice or not at all, but once it exceeds twice it becomes annoying, regardless of the deck.

I could spam my score a few dozen times and bust out 80% of the t50, sure, but no one likes that. I just don't submit to t50 on any but my main comp. It's not like submitting changes anything for yourself (except for the mulitple entries part >_<). Fixing highscores thingy = good, but untill then, just avoid spamming your entries in t50.
