The back and forth...

Prev1
When The Pit was first released, it was nothing but, "this is why rewards based on performance are bad...blah blah blah".

Now its, "this is why equal rewards are bad...blah blah blah".

It's like listening to my two kids bicker with each other. If one says "yes", the other will always
invariably cry "no". "We should go up". "No, it's obvious we should go down". "In". "Out".
It's maddening.

So guess what? You both lose.
You are not going to McDonalds OR Burger King.
Daddy is going to Taco Bell, and you can stay at home and eat leftover liver sandwiches, or starve.
I don't care which. Either way, I'll be eating tacos and not listening to you whine.

Where's the Tylenol?

    I'm sorry, the following sequence of posts (slightly condensed) had me just about rolling on the floor. Perfect example of proving the point immediately after making it:

    There's no whine there. I'm not asking for a change. Keep being self-righteous trolls. I'm eating tacos.

    I thought I made that perfectly clear.

    That sounds amazing, but I feel like I would instantly keel over with clogged arteries.

    Yuck. Burger King needs a rework. The idea of grilled burgers at a fast food restaurant is nice in theory. But what they serve tastes like a cheap fried patty that was dragged across a dirty grill that hasn't been used in a year.

    I'm on the camp that leans towards "rewards based on performance".

    I chip in, I should get something. If Person A does 2X more work than me, he/she should get 2X more rewards. If I did 18 GW nodes, and Person B does 2 GW nodes, why should my reward be only 25% more?

    Granted there should be an upper limit set, as well. For example, if I did 10K damage in a Raid, and Person Z comes in and solos the rest of it for 15 million damage, he/she shouldn't get 1,500X more rewards.

    TB should have had a way to balance both participation and contribution disparity.

    My 2 cents.
    When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

    Started mid-FEB 2017, and not trying to reach the top.

    I like the equal rewards setup in TB for one main reason. The purpose of guilds is so you can work as a team to beat big raid bosses and such. However, guilds have been VERY inter-competitve since the beginning. As I've pointed out before, I coordinate and work together more with my arena shard (who are supposed to be my rivals) than I ever have with a guild.

    Why would you eat at Taco Bell anyways? There are about 5 authentic Mexican taco joints within 10 miles of my house. I bet you have some too.

    I think we know which choice any normal kid will make...call an adult and tell them your Dad went to Taco Bell without you and left you with a piece of old liver to eat.

    Where else can you get chicken chips though? Look at these no-way-whatsoever-even-remotely-close-to-chicken-nugget-beauties.

    Seriously. The only thing I've ever found that taste remotely good at BK is the Chicken Fries.
