PoE races are not ethical
" a race in poe is not about finding out who is most 'skilled' (which is pretty hard to define and measure), it's about finding out who can reach max level first. and of course the people who put in the most time usually end up getting the best results. it's that way with pretty much everything. |
|
" It is probably not their intent but it is an extremely easily foreseeable situation. If GGG were to claim to be unaware you could really only conclude negligence or that they're lying. |
|
" The races are designed to give players another reason to play more. If people play less, then the race is counter productive. Just as the races aren't about how fast your character's run speed is, they aren't just about how fast you can do something. Sometimes slow and steady does win the race.

Make race HC only, problem solved.

" This is patently absurd, as is your entire argument. Somebody could have as fraction of others playtime, but choose to play when they should be sleeping, and still be sleep deprived. There, your entire argument debunked. How about you go worry about something else. |
|
" Alright, sweet, we're back to this! Good, good, argument on! Bollocks to you, I say. Great, sweaty bollocks. Having an addiction would make you much more prone to experiencing sleep deprivation. Doesn't matter whether there are other ways to end up in a similar state. It's like saying you can get lung cancer without ever smoking cigarettes, and therefore, cigs are fine and STFU. Also, your breath smells like poopy and percy is a funny name. BBBLLPTHHHTTHHHHHH! |

This is dumb because anyone who has played various races will know that most (if not all) people at the top of the ladder are not 1 player. It is 1 shared account from a clan and people rotate leveling up the char to get the demigod art. This has how it has always been, so you're basically trying to solve a problem in a bad way.
I agree the races are rigged against people who play 'fair' in the traditional sense of trying to do things on their own, but you have it all wrong in how you perceive top toons. There is always a group of players that make a few chars, 1 is the aura support to blow through maps at lightning speed, 2 is the tank, 3 is the DPS, 4 is the player that gets all of the loot sent to them to trade/sell items to optimize the gear for the other 3 players in order to reduce trading downtime. When either 1-4 get tired/want to leave another player in the clan steps in to take their spot and keep the rotation going. This goes for a full 3-4 days until a char hits level 100. Welcome to reality. Your suggestion does nothing to solve this because even with a timer, these same players as a group will hit 100 faster than any single player EVER will. |

" Person A studies 500 hours for his LSATs, rocks it. Person B studies 450 hours for his LSATs, rocks it a little less hard than Person A. Are you telling me "ethically" person B "should be ahead"? Because it's the same logic, and neither way does it make sense for someone who has put in fewer hours to somehow be rewarded for not putting in more effort. - 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0- 0 * - < <739610877-3104-376.101077-1106.75103739110792103.108-5'92.9410776.> - 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0 -- 0 * - < _ > - * 0- 0 * - < Last edited by bwam#7637 on Nov 29, 2017, 11:25:00 PM

Some people operate fine on little sleep. Most of the people who died of lack of sleep while playing a game did so of dehydration in a Chinese or Korean cafe, or (like that streamer a while ago) because they smoked and clearly had other health problems

" Nah, mate, that doesn't work. I already tried that back on page 6: " These folks are out for blood. |
