#63459, "Aaaaand I'm back to the not okay with it."


          

From qhcf:
http://www.qhcf.net/phorum/read.php?2,1082458,1082494#msg-1082494

Let me break down why I'm frustrated watching this and why it makes me not want to be a part of CF:

1. We've set up a system where these points are incredibly useful to compete if you're playing competitively, and still really useful if you're just playing for fun.

2. We've made it incredibly boring to get them.

3. We're angry at people for using automation to slog through the boring crap, even if they're available, and the response is "Well...don't cheat".

How about - instead of saying "Why do these people cheat???", ask yourself how to set the system up so that people don't have to cheat to be competitive or have fun. Mmmmmkkay?

When lots of people do it (And if you're telling me lots of people don't script, I'm going to point out that you're lying to yourself), it's not the people, it's the system and/or administration of said system that needs to be improved. The problem isn't the specific example here - but this is a perfect example of the *mentality* that drives me away. I don't disagree with the points the Imm made, but I also don't disagree with the points that the player made - and instead of saying "Yeah, maybe we *should* ask ourselves why people are doing it", someone is handed out a slay, given a curt response, and left with a sour taste in their mouth.
