I have made that point all along. Did you use a lot of words to say you agree with me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could police that more I suppose, but in the end, why would they? Any more locking down on the account side will just be met with indignation and backlash, and if they (and the publisher) can make money from people willing to abuse it, then I’d imagine their attitude is ?♂️ Sony's way of fixing this would actually be quite simple, they would just need to implement 3 basic rules for developers/publishers for any future games: No repeat trophy lists for the same game A trophy list can only have 4 gold trophies max, and must have more silver trophies than gold, and more bronze trophies than silver If all the trophies in a game can be achieved within the span of a few hours by most people, it does not get a platinum trophy The problem isn't the people getting the shovelware trophies, it's that there are loopholes in the trophy system that are now getting exploited by developers or publishers because Sony hasn't updated the list rules since they built the trophy system all the way back in 2008 Edited February 19, 2021 by BlindMango 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of their games even support auto-popping? They're so easy you can just play it again. I admittedly have platinums of their games, it's just a nice boost once in a while but i don't go crazy and platinum all of them, especially not the different regions, i think that would devalue my list a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren’t being ‘overtaken’ by people who have stack in the hundreds, and only play 30minute platinum games over and over. You really aren’t. Why not just feel a mild sense of superiority and a deep, sickening sense of pity when you see a profile made up of these stacks, and just move on, safe in the knowledge that the person whose profile it is is not actually ahead of (or behind) you in the race? You’re running in it, they just paid for a seat at the finish line. The issue isn't about how i feel about people overtaking me (because it makes no difference to me at all) but about making a platinum have some meaning again and reinstating some integrity back into the leaderboards. BlindMango made some good suggestions on how Sony could do this not long ago and i happen to agree. Reality is you're not going to stop people from milking an existing system but you can change the system to stop it being milked. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is that games are made to be good fun, not quick cash grabs for points/trophies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now you did it. This is about to devolve further and turn into the "some people find it fun collecting trophies (vs playing the game)" argument. And then people will start throwing insults and this will be locked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElevExplorer64 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 I should've kept my mouth shut. I'm locking this thread before things get uglier and/or the moderators get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
