The Grind

[Spielkind]

blablabla

Is that a really good quality event though? Like, if I made a PvP event that was just a blank page but with a small button that said "Click this button many, many times!" with the person who clicked it the most being the winner, would that be a good event?

perhaps some people would find it a good event and for those of them which will click often there should be an event too! not a question of quality or style. the 100meters in olympia that guy who makes faster or longer steps than all others will win, so why not with faster or longer clicking on cards?!  8)

PvP events are supposed to (supposed to!) test skill like deckbuilding and prediction. Not who can waste more time.

Yes, time does help in preparing for PvP, but it follows more of a logarithmic curve for advantages gained compared to time.

PvP events are supposed to (supposed to!) ...

... to bring fun to the whole community! and if some of that community think thats fun, than let them do it!  8)

I may not fully agree with that but I would support it if that were the case. However, I highly doubt that is what the community thinks would be fun.

... because there are no Elements players that enjoy grinding?

So my name would be...whatifigetcaughtgriding?

Also, I find this to be an interesting idea, but I am on furball's side with this.

and thats what im saying... if there are people in this community (me not) which love to grind and spend many hours in farming, than let them take part here and enjoy a funny event for them. fun is never the same to anyone... just try to think about other opinions than your own... there are aliens on planet earth, and they love to grind the hell out of it!  8)

Why would I specifically grind on a whole separate account when I can grind on my main?

@Speilkind you are probably correct that I cannot speak for the whole community (there probably is someone who'd like this event), but I am merely stating my opinion that I do not like this type of event and why I am against it. As of now, I have yet to see someone who is very enthusiastic about this.

Furball, I feel like you're being a bit too "materialistic" here (for lack of a better word at the moment). The point of games is to have fun. Oftentimes, that is being the best at it and having the best account. However, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Sometimes, people may just want a change of pace and not be grinding platinum/FG all the time. I personally play on my alts a lot, for example.

I really like the idea and may even participate if it went live (which I seriously doubt seeing the response). The starter grind is different to the vet grind and I kind of miss my newb days so it would be quite nostalgic for me.

Plastiqe is thinking outside the box here and he posted a unique idea that might actually work. I think it is worth a try. People who sign up for this event should know the nature of it, and should not sign up if they can only play 10 minutes a day.

@fruballdn ( ): thats your right, but i never said you have not to. i hate it too, never will participate in those events, but in any case we all use time to win events! is it for testing decks, thinking about strategys or something like that... each player will spend time to win matches, more so better. and here its the event "The Grind" and as you often said, grinding is not fun and not skillbased, its only for them they have time to grind (and for them its fun i guess). its the events name and so it should have to do something with grinding  8) we have enough events with good rules waiting for coming, so why not a event for those who will grind and grind and grind?!

Here's a loving bump for you plastiqe... Viney found this and we decided to have a tournament based on it... hopefully this will help you go farther with it/other people offer more suggestions and whatnot.

Good luck,
