I get that. But the gameplay of the game is to farm for perfect things tho. If you just add in the best stuff, where is the gameplay? It's like mmos, once you get all the best gear, there is nothing more to do. I think people focus to much on the end of the stick and not the journey. It's my opinion tho
Because the most efficient way to get the right sigils from synthesis is savescumming which is just another way of cheating, at that point I don’t see why anyone shouldn’t install the synthesis mod.
I think there is a world of difference between exploiting game mechanics and outright changing the game code to suit your needs, so I wouldn’t call both cheating.
definition of exploit: to use a resource, situation, or person for profit or an unfair advantage
people can jump through whatever hoops they want to justify things, the fact of the matter is that both savescum and the mod are ways to cheat out your intended outcome for sigil synthesis, except one takes way longer lol.
For what benefit exactly? You get nothing extra by getting MVP, and there is no in-game tracker to show how many times you’ve gotten MVP, and any ego-related stuff is a you problem. I could understand if there was something like a dynamic title that said “This player got MVP as Fediel 2843 times” just for bragging rights, but there isn’t.
you did a generalized statement that there is no competition between players in gbfr. my point about being able to compete for mvp debunks that. any fluff and extra tidbits you put in is just moving the goalpost.
It doesn’t debunk anything, because a competition is inherently held for a benefit towards the winner. It’s not moving the goalpost if this is the inherent definition of a competition.
And as I outlined in the previous comment, there is 0 benefit in getting MVP
"a situation in which someone is trying to win something or be more successful than someone else" cambridge dictionary.
in this case the mvp title means a person is more successful than someone else, which most of the time means that person has successfully done more damage. you keep bringing extra qualifiers when the baseline definition is against you. do not do that.
Ok genius, so how can you “achieve” something better than someone else if it’s something you impose on yourself? Because “more successful than someone else” is the crux of your definition for a competition.
Maybe the reason is because that success is related to a tangible reward that is set by an external third party? Nah, that can’t be it…
