PoE races are not ethical

"Some1 is working more hours than me? That's not ethical, he should earn less..." Lenin approved

Uhm... you do realize, don't you, that those accounts are passed around among several highly trusted friends to keep active uninterrupted for days on end?

These people - cheaters, if you will - are not depriving themselves of sleep or binging on caffeine, because it's a team effort to exploit.

you could play those hours yourself, youre just mad that you dont have the discipline to do so

psure zizaran streamed through his entire rank1 push with only just him playing :P

account sharing is not as ubiquitous as you may think

people can just go withotu sleep for 25-30 hours if they're not old men

It always amazes me when people like you, op, think you're entitled to control others actions. There's a billion things that "encourage" people to act in a way YOU see unfit, I'm curious which ones would make you change your tune?

Short answer though; mind your own business, stop trying to control others, and go fornicate yourself with an iron stick.

But it's not just unethical from competive perspective but for PoE as developers too. You actually encourage some people go with their addictive sleep deprivation and people have actually died from it. They sit all day drinking their coffeine just to stay awake and then pay price for it with their health.

It's not up to game developers to protect people from their own stupidity.

When they put up races it "encourages" to this behaviour.

I don't want this thread into flame war though so please don't be butthurt fanboys and just implement timer. It's not hard. Timer actually makes game more competive.

...what timer?

and all addictions are dangerous so you have quite some babysitting to do.

It's only for 20 days. I remember sleeping only 4 hours a day for three months after Black Desert release.

People using stronger builds must be pretty unethical by extension.

Wat. No one is forcing you to play like the racers that sleep deprive themselves and play nonstop?

"I don't want to fight with you, so just do as I say! It's not even difficult!"

The guy attempting to hold this entire forum hostage and paint our opinions as inflammatory is trying to teach us about ethics, my dudes.

This must be some professor-level shit, I think we should listen.
