Defending the weekend tourneys

Alt accounts and abusing the system is not allowed.Or horrible player behaviour.But they dont really do anything about it and it shows a horrible lack of confidence and leadership in running this game.
Sometimes they ban Burn which is just silly,even if he is sometimes annoying.

 

No it shows a great understanding and aptitude.

People just need to stop being salty and jelly about it.

 

People need to allow me to abuse the system for my gain.

 

Doubt that's the case.

 

You're smart, you're loyal, you're grateful, i appreciate you *hands over a cookie*

 

How is it 'abusing' the system?

Who's the victim here?

It's like a socialist crying about other people getting rich and asking the government to tax them so everybody will be equally poor.

Sour grapes

 

Your logic is faulty. In society, you would be one person getting rich. Here alt accounts make you many people.

 

How is the logic faulty in anyway? You can just extend the analogy to a corporations i.e. many people working together and getting rich. Socialists love to cry about corporations getting rich too.

 

I just want to play legitimate games in tournaments instead of dealing with a bunch of people who just want to steal runes from the company.

 

Again your logic is flawed. Corporations are still different people, not alts of one. Plus, on a different point, the argument put by DMR is not legality. You and Willow are right. It is not illegal to farm. However you know that, when you play certain games, there are unwritten ethical rules to follow. Pox tournament farmers are being legal but not ethical. The appeal here to farmers is to stop please being unethical during tournaments. Please.

 

You can't 'steal runes' from the company. There is not a fixed supply of runes and a rune is just a database entry. The idea of 'stealing' doesn't make any sense in this context.

 

Playing to win is always relevant.

When people say "unwritten rules" what they mean is "something I think other people should do even though they have not agreed to it". It is just a poor excuse for people to impose their own idea of behaviour on other people. If there is something unethical, it is this imposition.

 

what if u stole pox credits? (pox cash?) there digital and no fixed supply as sok can make as much as he wants even if we dont match $$$ value,, is that ok?
you cant take a words and expand the defintion so much that it will meet your argument. ..
words like tournament, steal and earn have very specific meanings,, as I told u before,, grab a dictionary and look em up...

 

How does one 'steal' pox credits?

In the traditional definition of stealing, a person has an item, say an apple. Then another person takes the item away. Now the first person doesn't have an apple anymore.

Any body with an access to the database server can literally give an account one quintsexillion pox cash, conjuring it from the ether, without paying a dime. Is this action 'theft'? Who was deprived of this quintsexillion pox cash?

I will reiterate that the concept of 'stealing' does not make any sense in this context.

As for the argument of taking a word and expanding the definition, the irony is that it is YOU who is guilty of that. You are extending the well defined meaning of stealing pertaining to taking a physical object from the possession of another person to an action that you can't really define, in an attempt to piggyback on the very well accepted immorality of theft.

 

Before this thread, I was much more in favor of keeping tourneys running. Now... not so much.

It is an integrity thing which is impossible to explain to dishonest individuals who have few morals. After reading three pages it isn't hard to see that your destroying the whole point of tournaments in order to promote Obamapoxcaretourneys. Devs time to cut the poxwelfare. You can twist logic to justify this, but in the end your ruining a good thing for everyone else by promoting lazy play instead of doing whats right and setting an example so we can all have an enjoyable tournament experience. It's not about the runes its about feeling like you earned them and competed for them. When I see someone drop their wallet in a restaurant I pick it up and give it back to them. Yes I could have just waited for them to leave and called it "community property" but I had integrity. The same goes for these tourneys. Even though there is no one there to physically stop you from farming these tourneys its still morally wrong and destroys the spirit of tournaments and sets a bad example encouraging other players to do the same as you.

 

Sirlin's argument is relevant if you consider the metagame of obtaining runes.

As for the argument that 'other people do it', well that's not really an argument. Saudi Arabia will cut your hands off if you steal an apple, somehow I find it hard to justify that.
