DaikichiKawachi Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think Sony broke the trophy system for themselves by allowing shovelware to get platinums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightwards666 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) This thread is only 2 days old... and it's been an enjoyable read. I think everyone has their own goals. I wouldn't go as far as saying your rank means nothing. It's up to each individual player to find the meaning behind their trophy hunting... it's not up to others. What one's trophies mean to oneself is important - what one's trophies mean to other people is not. We have goals - in their case, it is to build an impressively large collection of trophies. When we reach a goal we feel an achievement... as a Level 17 with quite a small collection by this site's standards, I can't speculate too much, but my guess is hitting Level 30 feels like a milestone reached and feels achieved. This style doesn't work for you... it's ok, it doesn't work for me either. Edited March 18, 2019 by Midnightwards666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deceptrox Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It means as much as you want it to. I am proud of earning the trophies on my account by myself, unlike most guys at the top of the global leaderboards. Where is the fun if you don't earn trophies legit and by yourself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowhood1111 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I like looking at the person ahead of me and saying to myself "Im coming for you motherf**ker" and then popping a plat or two to pass them regardless of whether the plat was hard earned or not doesn't matter just the satisfaction of passing them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBloodmoney Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Well, sure. it means about as much as you make of it I suppose. I will say this though - your ranking means about as much as this opinion does... ...but most folks don’t go making threads with inflammatory titles to showcase their ranking... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastiingwerf Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) The title of this thread should have been called "my rank means nothing". Although it has been an interesting read, I do love a bit of drama. Edited March 19, 2019 by mastiingwerf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's like 100-200 you're a p cool dude, keep it up my man 500 wow, slow it down, spend more time with your mom/girlfriend/girlfriend's mom 1000 wtf pls stop Oh, is that how it is? Damn. I guess I should stop and slow down and spend more time with my family, go to the job I'm employed to go to and also go to classes at university I'm paying for. Thanks man, this changed my whole perspective. Lol, maybe next time remember people have been doing this likely a longer time than most. For me, I have been in this game going on 10 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need more BIOSHOCK Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've never really been bothered about my rank and where I am at on the leaderboards at all. Until I joined PSNP I had no idea it was even a thing. My PSN account is over 10 years old and I've played alot of games over the years that have built it up. I do enjoy a good few easy slutty platinums in between a big 100-200 hour game. I just love to see a shit tonne of trophies rain down sometimes and hearing that wonderful DING sound has been an addiction for quite some time that will never end now lol. They do boost the ranking up very nicely but I honestly couldn't care less where I am. The main thing for me is that I enjoy my time spent gaming. Fair play to those that are way up there at the top and if you love what you do crack on! Personally for me it would feel a chore that I would constantly need to be starting new games that I hated in order to maintain my position and would completely take away all the fun in gaming for me. Each to their own though and if it makes you feel good DO IT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Startyde Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) It's funny how the tiers of anal OCD manifest when it comes from niche hobbies. Take game collecting. Steam users think it's nuts to overpay for a disc Disc collectors think it's nuts to overpay for CIB copy CIB collectors think it's nuts to overpay for a sealed copy sealed collectors think it's nuts to overpay for a gem mint copy gem mint collectors think it's nuts to overpay for a graded game graded collectors think it's nuts to overpay for the highest graded copy On and on and on. Now we have Trophies. It was all fun and games when everyone started on the same level, but the moment easy games come out, now it's all about just counting how hard the games are. Once someone else has more time to play, now the leader board doesn't matter. Stacks are suspect, international games shouldn't count, auto pop's are BS. So many niche caveats in an already niche subject. Play what you want, earn what you want. Just be honest with yourself about why you feel that way. Many people HATE trophies in general because they are a permanent part of their profile and serves as a constant reminder of what they haven't done. Don't let that kinda envy spill over into your own enjoyment of trophies and games. Candidly, my only genuine gripe with trophies are ppl who pay or ask others to earn them for them. I don't understand why you would show off something you didn't accomplish. I'm not talking about using a turbo controller or anything like that, that is still your creativity at work. I'm talking about literally having other people earn what you're taking credit for. I think that reveals a whole new level of insecurity and probably isn't healthy.

ZenRhino Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm new here and to Playstation in general, but I'll add my two cents. The title of the thread should have been 'My ranking means nothing to me'. That is clearly the way you feel and that's perfectly valid. Other people here will feel differently, after all this is a site about trophy hunting in ALL it's various manifestations. The leaderboards will mean a lot to some people, and less or nothing to others. Each to their own dude! As for me, I'd need to invent a time machine and go back to the day I decided to buy an Xbox360 instead of a PS3! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skroq Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Yeah, if ranking means nothing to you - go ahead make your profile private. Problem solved. I may surprise you but you can actually: Have a family (non-gaming kids included) Have a job (or your own company) Have friends and occasionally drink/party Travel Have +1000 plats Not me, but I am sure there are people like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesey46 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I get what you were going for with this post but my god you sound like a douche, but I think that was your intention. I have a full time job so I struggle to find time to deal with my massive backlog (although its probably tiny to some people) and get my completion percentage up so I can't imagine what it would be like having loads of time on my hands and just wasting it on piss easy platinums to get my rank up, but hey if you enjoy it, then go for it! Time is precious man, but as long as you're doing something you enjoy that's okay. Don't let tossers like this make you feel bad for liking something just cause they don't like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seblegamer Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I care more about my completion rate, even if it's hard to keep it high with all the temptations But from times to times i check my ranking in leaderboard, specially the country one ^^ It doesn't change my way of playing, if I loose a few places, it's ok, i won't buy an easy platinum game just to get my place back But if i get a little higher in leaderboard, it's still a little satisfaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
