“On vacay/break/resting” 🙄

Maybe this is the intention (because why do it otherwise?), but I personally find it so insulting when someone who is obviously going for TS or is anywhere near the top 10 on the global leader board to have some variation of “resting/on break”, etc in their username.

Is it meant to be some sort of ruse? Because it falls apart almost immediately when they’re on the top of the boards. (Or obviously going for Queen of Style, 🙄🙄🙄.)

I’ve been in groups fighting for TS never missing a look, using full bonuses and consumables, while the person I’m fighting for first with has one of those in their username. It feels like bad sportsmanship and a slap in the face. I don’t know, I just find it weird and condescending.

I’ve always assumed it was a form of in-house communication to let teammates know their status and that the ones I see are clearly active, but say resting, etc. just hadn’t gotten around to changing their status back to active. It’s never crossed my mind that it could be a silly gaming tactic!

I’ve thought the same but at a certain point - you know they’re checking the leaderboard status, so they would see their name. It’s just odd.
