ChewyTHFG Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I have found reading through these comments very interesting so many different views and opinions. I personally have never used share play to allow a friend or help a friend with a trophy i have used it to let a few friends have a go on games I own that they don’t. I would never ask another person to do a trophy for me but I have been involved in trophy boosting sessions for certain trophies. I would however help others with trophies if they wanted especially my friends. I see some of you calling this cheating I ask you this who are you cheating or what is being cheated there is no league where money can be won for trophies (not that I’m aware of anyway) it’s just an accomplishment on someone’s PS4/PS3 profile does it really matter how it was obtained? Let’s be honest most are claiming they wouldn’t or have not used certain methods to gain trophies how do you know? When looking at peoples profiles there is nothing to say "this was boosted online" or "this was obtained via share play" so what does it really matter I’m proud of what I have achieved and I take my hat off to others who have way more trophies and PLATS than me being a trophy hunter is a grind at times no matter how its obtained but all of us here must love doing it is that not what counts we are in the company of other trophy lovers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuthg21 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I have used shareplay twice to help 2 friends get the flappy goat trophy in goat simulator, i don't see why it's a problem to help someone get a single trophy that they can't earn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiII-Valentine-- Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I helped my friend get 100% of the trophies for the Resident Evil remake on PS4 and I have no regrets. It was their 100th platinum trophy as well. I mean I got every single trophy for them. Edited June 21, 2017 by JiII-Valentine-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me start of by saying that I don't care if anyone uses this method. I will share what I think about it in regards to using it myself. I feel like it's cheating. Let's take your reasoning outside of the gaming field. I will never win an Olympic medal/FIFA world cup/Stanley cup/Super Bowl Ring/whatever because I'm not capable of the feats required to win them. What you're saying is that I should participate in those championships, and then let someone capable actually do the work and get the trophy for me (and make it appear that I actually did the work). I don't mind just think the reasoning is a bit odd. I'm of the opinion that if you didn't win the prize, you shouldn't be showing it of as your prize (or own it for that matter). But at the end of the day this is just gaming, trophies are worthless pixels and we just enjoy ourselves with our hobby. People asking others to get their trophies for them have to ask themselves what's more important; them enjoying games or their meaningless trophy ranks.

Miles_Warren Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 To each their own I guess. I personally would never use share play to obtain a trophy. I am proud of all my platinums/trophies that I've obtained because I know that it was me who obtained them and not somebody else. I know that if I went through my trophy list and saw that platinum I would always be reminded that it wasn't me who obtained it. It would be the black sheep of the trophy list lol But that's just me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the coach/manager/owner get a share of the victory? Even if they didn't actually play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennRhee Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I think it's ridiculous to get worked up over how other people choose to play games, or what games they choose to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much that really. I've never used share play but I dont really care how people get their trophies whether it's through boosting, a friend coming over and playing it on your account it's whatever.

The Devils Reaper Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Its a strange phenomenon, similar to cuckolds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylobe Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If Sony considered it cheating then they'd disable trophies while Share Play is in use. I don't think the comparisons to boosting are completely fair, but I don't see how it's any different than using a group account, or even just passing an irl friend the controller.

Even if they didn't actually play the game. So a coach/manager/owner doesn't do anything for a team? In team based sports a coach/manager can be just as important for a championship as the players. Owners are responsible for having a coach and players in the first place. They use their skills so the players can do their thing. They deserve recognition for a championship too. Besides, I don't know how it is for other sports, but doesn't the main prize go to the club rather than the individuals? At least in football (soccer) the trophy goes to the club, and the players/staff get a medal to show they were part of that championship team. And unless the player getting the trophies for you owns your account (which makes it not your account...) or coaches you so you can get the trophy yourself, the comparisson doesn't really make sense.

Mizztec Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I personally would never use it if I can't plat the game myself I don't deserve it. Don't like the concept of having someone else do the work for me. I don't consider this on the same line as boosting because with boosting you actually still need to participate and do things to get trophies. But anyways if you want to use it to get trophies I say go for it who cares really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The only reason I boost is cuz of dead multiplayer or the devs threw in patches which threw the online out of balance for trophies. Share play boost...I'm undecided on the topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I look at a profile and all of the timestamps are in order, then those are legitimate to me. I don't care if you boost, use share play, or if your brother, mom, friend, cousin, uncle, next door neighbor, grandmother, or some random person that you met on a sketchy internet web site flew 4100 miles across the planet to unlock the trophies for you. I view all of the trophies identically. Personally, I like earning the trophies myself and have not used share play before to unlock anything on my profile. However, I did help a good friend unlock the last 3 DLC trophies in Batman AK via share play. Agreed. As long as it's within the rules, it's good by me. However, I do have my own rules for trophy hunting, and shareplay is altogether banished from my world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saionji Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 In my opinion share play is a nice option if lets say you want to check out a game before purchasing it and a friend will let you play it for a while through share play so you can decide if it really interest you or not, the most stupid thing about this is however that it lets you unlock trophies for others.

Dav9834 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I have no issue of it. My nephew comes from a different state sometimes and he'll play whatever and get a trophy. Shareplay is not much different, just minus the car ride. You're not handing over your entire account. I don't think Sony cares either. Not to mention on some games like Destiny, that 500milisecond lag is killer, so you really should get 2 trophies if you get a trophy that way lol!

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think using shareplay for getting trophies is silly and it makes those silly worthless trophies even more silly and worthless. I'm not a completionist but I can kind of get why trophy hunters like getting high completion percentages and lots of platinum trophies. I can't get why someone would cheat or use shareplay to get trophies though. It's fake, and you're just lying to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
