Fleurs and Krakii on the officials

[Wrathbringer]

I'll take allereli all day vs fleurs constant bitchery.

[Gelston]

the funny thing is, you can say the same thing Methais said about Fleurs' posting about me.

Nah, because I remember your all caps raging and calling large swaths of people dumbasses and such on LNet.

It's true... and likely why you ought to cut her a break and they ought to cut you one.

Isn't that a good description of most of the people tuned into LNet?

[Androidpk]

I don't think she particularly comes across as bitchy, though I'm still salty for her turning down my Wiki suggestion of adding all the critter descriptions.

MUST RAGE!

(Methais, that is not serious.)

[Allereli]

the irony of some of Methais' argument is that my dislike of Fleurs goes back to me backing up a friend criticizing a GM and her getting really butthurt about it and completely derailing the thread. In this case, I simply think her getting up in arms over 500 xp and only 6 hours of experience gain is totally silly and making the officials unenjoyable and unproductive.

I don't recall what you're talking about, aren't they already on there?

Jesus, I just looked and it seems like they are. Either they were added afterwards or I'm becoming schizophrenic.

And now I'm having a major case of deja vu :|

You don't seem to understand the hoops the top exp earners jump through in order to maximize their exp gain. It's not just hunting like normal but mashing your macro keys a little harder and then hurrying up to the nearest supernode like most people probably think. Bare minimum it required max logic enhancives, which cost a fucking fortune, and then probably stockpiling gems and skins and bounty waivers and all that shit to ensure you're always pulsing while saturated on a supernode. And then doing it across multiple characters, which are also decked out for max exp gain. I don't mean swapping logic enhancives between characters either, but each one having their own set. That's an insane amount of silvers. Was she forced to do that? No of course not. But it's what the top earners and min/maxers do, so why should they not receive something extra for their efforts that everyone else is benefitting from for free? It's not just Fleurs complaining about it, other top earners feel the same way. I wasn't even top 50 because I don't give a shit about exp and I still think it's retarded even though it benefits my character. You don't have to be negatively affected by something in order to see that it's stupid. Not for normal people anyway.

Unless someone steps up to do all that across the same amount of characters Fleurs did this week (which was enough characters to make a significant impact on the average), then the average is going to drop by a lot, and the people ripping on Fleurs now will probably be the ones crying the loudest in March when the new numbers are in.

500 exp is hyperbole. Pretty sure I kept seeing that number change with you on the officials too depending on which way the wind was blowing, but I might be thinking of someone else.

If Simu wanted to benefit everyone without pissing off anyone, they should give the top 25 a bonus on their Lumnis average to reflect the extra exp they pulled in during the contest.

Everyone outside of the top 25 still gets the average that was set, and the top 25 get that + the additional exp they earned.

I'd love to hear someone make an argument against that without sound like a complete dumbass.
