Popular Post AJ_Radio Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) The title will probably offend a few people who like to stack a lot of games. This is just my opinion. In my eyes, the leaderboards mean nothing. Your ranking means nothing. The only measures of the rankings are how long somebody plays every day and how long they’ve been hunting. I’m currently rank 7000 something and I didn’t even try to get to that ranking. I just play a lot of different games, although my pace has slowed down thanks to college studies and the overburden of work. I’ll make this brief. I don’t think many people care about their ranking, and that’s what matters because I played for rankings in the past and got burnt out on it. Fun and competing for rank don’t mix. The rankings equate to quantity over quality. It’s pointless, they mean nothing, and after playing for virtual achievements for many years I am considering quitting when I’m around 10,000 - 12,000 trophies. 10,000 - 12,000 trophies with around 300 - 400 games can be admirable. Going for the high stage serves no purpose, it’s just extra padding. What do you all think? Edited March 16, 2019 by Spaz 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crispy_Oglop Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 Your ranking is what you personally make of it and what value you see in it. You don't see any value in it, someone else might. 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stardroid Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Why do you always make these negative, controversial threads though? I don't care about leaderboards. But I noticed that you sure make a lot of these. Edited March 16, 2019 by STARLOVE 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmFanatic Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Let’s just get rid of the leaderboards entirely then since they are so pointless. At least then I won’t have to waste time reporting cheaters. Do I care about my ranking? Somewhat. I want to move up in the ranks but without playing trophy whoring games I won’t so I’m happy where I am. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KondeBra Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 About all this trophy hunting: -Worst case scenario: I 100% a game that I paid a lot and get the most value of it -Best case scenario: UN sees my profile and decides that I should lead the world. There is no guilt for trophy hunting, at least for me. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LucianaRosethorn Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) I've never cared about ranking and I really don't know why some people do. It doesn't add anything to earning trophies and being in the top of the leaderboards requires team accounts, not caring what you play and most of them have cheated while also being extremely full of themselves. I'd rather just enjoy games and not play anything just so the platinum number, (which means nothing) goes up. But each to their own, just because I don't like it doesn't mean others don't, if we were all the same then the world would be boring.

What do you all think? No shit hey of course you going to offend some people with such a topic. You are not entitled to an opinion especially those that care for the leaderboards But seriously I used to worry about leadersboards until all these quick plats starting popping around a year ago. I fell into that trap into buying cheap quick easy plats and stopped enjoying games just so I could climb up the ladder. At one stage I was on a average 13 trophies a day. Trying to gain spots was a absolute waste of time and money especially with gamers getting all these quick Asian easy Vita plats. So now I just play games for fun and if I enjoy the game and the plats within reach then I will go for it. I still enjoying popping trophies and the challenge some give but I'm not going to fall into that trap of going for easy quik plats just for the sake of leaderboards At the same time if a gamer enjoys going up on the leaderboards and getting quick easy plats then that's all up to him. Whatever tickles your fancy. At the end of the day it's a personal choice and challenge because "most" gamers don't really worry about others profiles and trophy hunters are a small minority in the gaming world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infected Elite Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 nothing wrong with seeing your rank at X and moving up a few to Y. doesnt need to be about being best or whatever. but everyone uses the site for various reasons. I always felt that for someone to be in the top 1000 of the world, either you have 0 life and never leave the house and are a loser, or you're getting paid for it. not to sound negative lol. (hopefully you get paid lol) but really I have no issues with leaderboards. or ranks. for me its completion rates. I'd rather beat a game and have my enjoyment and move on to the next. dont need 100% in every game. so long as you enjoy the games and get your worth out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if it was a more even competition where more than the top .1% had a chance, it'd be more interesting. The average and above average player cant compete with team accounts, trophy buyers (including visual novel/quick plat spammers), and people buying trophies. It is what it is I suppose 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Sometimes You and @RatalaikaGames it is not THAT difficult those days ;). And anyway - it is a hobby like any other: you like to collect stamps, you love to do the marathons (which is more healthy than this for sure :D) or you are catching butterflies. Same thing. Ok, similar :D. And as you have mentioned, if you could combine the hobby and "work" ("being paid for") together and YOU, personally, YOU are happy about it - perfect combo! And why anyone else shall care? There are people who are showing their naked bodies on Instagram - thousands of people are following it. I find it strange, but if they are interested in it... Why not? I am following the top50 of PSNP LB. Is there a difference between me and the Insta people? :). Simply IMHO: In the end - no one cares 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KaiserVendrix Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 I love it when people make threads about pointing out the obvious, have you honestly just realised this right now? If you really want to be negative about something why don’t you just say everything is pointless because we all will die in the end? That way you cover everything and pointless threads can stop. A lot of us here care about how we play our games and believe it or not some of us care about what ranking we are. Why try shit on something that gives people joy? Honestly. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
