I don't feel this comment is very fair. I spent the contest saturated, grouped, on a node, burned all my bounty boosts, lots of gems, and I didn't make the list, likely because I haven't invested in +40 in logic bonus enhansives. I also kept poor Leafiara very busy getting me herbs. I ran ;pulsetimer for the first time ever. I disabled my offline exp for the few times I had to step away during that 6 hour stretch.Originally Posted by Zarston
I had maybe 1-2 hunts that I tried to do fast because I was running low on bounty boosts. It was also the first time I'd ever even used a bounty boost. That should tell you something about how casual my play style typically is.
I was surprised when I didn't make the top 50, and was pleased that the average was so high.
To say people like me didn't take it seriously isn't very fair or accurate. I tried, but I may not have the min/max experience to get it done like some of you. And I may not have realized that not having 100 logic would make that huge of a difference. Lessons learned, I still was impressed by the effort of so many. Just because you can get to 23k and others to 18 or 19k doesn't mean they didn't put in an effort or didn't even try.
I also don't have multiple accounts or the means to stock up on hundreds of skins and gems, though I do have a pile of gems I keep around as best I can on a F2P account, but their inventory is so limited it's silly.
Anyhow, you seem to assume everyone has your experience, or can mimic what you do based on a few posts on the PC. I am one who read your posts, tried to emulate them, and still failed.
Your apparent jaded attitude is what irks me a bit and makes me not want to put in any effort at all if I'm going to be told I didn't even care because I should be easily in the top 50. That's not accurate. That 6 hours was a miserable and fairly boring experience compared to how I normally play, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try again in March.
