The Inevitable Rise of Greed and Grind in Online Games

[Balton]

Oh gosh you guys, clearly I failed to accomplish what I set out to do

Also, I laugh whole-heartily at all the wanna-be authoritative figures in the community. Learn to properly aspire to things, noobs.

People with skill can still beat the higher gens with less skill, they are not invincible.

But i think the system overall is ok, maybe it would be a good idea that after the 10th generation you get 1 heirloom per 2 generations and the xp bonus is lowered to 5%

I agree. Something on the lines of this (maybe a bit tweaking here and there...) would be a nice solution.

I didn't read this new "balton aberration", as usual, but i voted 5 by mistake so -5 +1.

[La Makina]

2-some interesting ideas but way too long for a post. Unforgivable.

RPG levelling systems are usually based on a progressive scale: the more you progress, the longer it is to reach the next level. In cRPG, the 10% bonus after each retirement spoils the exponential levelling. The longer you play, the faster you increase.

So, indeed, reintroducing an exponential progress to overpower (for heirlooms or for XP) would be good.

Balton, everything you write makes everyone hate you that little bit more.

[The Silent C]

It's like you entered a debate about the death penalty, and made a compelling speech purely about Immigration. It may be a moderately good speech and may contain some valid points, it has nothing to do with what the topic was. If the topic was retirement in crpg, 4. But its not, so 2.

[Lansamur]

Topic missed. In Germany, that would be a "6" (worst mark).

Cya.

I think this kid needs to take a rest from cRPG. A long rest that is.

So , you have a feeling that players with high gens and heirlooms have an upper hand and you, instead of playing this game for teamplay,clans or just pure fun/gaining skill have decided to use an easy and cheap trick to catch up with them ? You claim that the system is broken and the game is fucked up, yet you keep playing it like a mindless grinder while constantly insulting the community you play with, acting like you have the policy on truth in this universe.

When you get caught, you don't even try acting like you're sorry, you go on bragging about your wonderful typing capabilities and telling chadz how to develop his game. Well i'm sorry kid, it's not the game that's fucked up, it's you.




P.S. that gay-ass avatar doesn't give you any bonus points neither.    "1"

But he's such a stud, how can you not give him points for that! AND he can deadlift 405 lbs! Imagine how useful that will be in the real world! When he's having a job interview all he has to do is mention that and boom, he's got the job!

On an unrelated note, I think there should be a penalty involved for writing a stupid, self serving piece of garbage and calling it your unban essay. Maybe the ban could be extended a couple of weeks or so.

This essay makes even more evident that I write a "how to" concerning apologia and apoligies.

You (Balton) are an eloquent and well formulated person. Your essay is, and this you will not accept, fail.
Unfortunately that I even care to answer your posts feeds your ego. However the following critique is given in mind that you actually wanted to pursuade your audience.

- You change topic and does not answer the assignment given.
- I cannot quite discern how serious you are about your divine ego, but whatever the case by being arrogant in this extreme degree you do not pursuade. It can be used sarcasticly and ironic, yet you do not achieve this. We, your audience, is left with the impression of a person who do not understand the fine line between humor and stupidity. This in a degree that your post even fails at trolling.
- Because of the above and however many "good" arguments you have, you achieved neither. You should not be unbanned and you did not persuade.
- Bane has already pinpointed the failure of warrants and argumentation.

All in all, from someone who actually seems to be rather well gifted, your post is fail.

1/5

Doesn't even touch the subject.

UG (Ungraded)

[Tsarevitch]

You are so full of yourself the part that makes me really want to punch you right in the face is that you were so arrogant that you failed to apologize. Your essay rambles on and makes absolutely no sense. You try to justify your cheating because you say a game mechanic is broken. You want all of us to be lvl 30 again? That is derp because if I'm not mistaken the mod is called cRPG meaning you level up and get better equipment. If you want to be lvl 30 with everyone else go play Native. You posted on Snickers essay that you were top of the board on both servers you played in? Stop kidding yourself, you suck and you were not at the top on both. You are sad, you cannot justify your cheating.

What? All the people who posted here are on the cRPG Essay Board of Official Examiners (cRPG EBOE)!

Except the guy who wants to punch you in the face. I dunno who he is. But whoever he is, he's very angry at your essay!

As expected, the majority of the community ignores everything else and focuses on why I am so awesome. Thanks guys, I love you too <3

Obvious troll is obvious. Try getting on a new level.
