Deal With It!

Fusionstrike's PL Advancement Theorem

To get stuff in PL, you have to invest something. What you invest is some combination of your time (through playing) and money (through platinum purchases). To increase to any given level of performance, you can invest more time and/or more money. The more money you spend, the less time it requires.

Or, to write it in math

A = T * P

where
A = achievement level
T = time
P = platinum

The problem is that many people want the rewards of working hard without putting in the actual effort.

Its just like those occupy wallstreet bums. They want something without working hard.

I understand what your saying, but most peope want to have fun and NOT work hard when the log into a video game. Some folks like the "hard work" so to speak. And that's great. But, most want to escape the grind (hehe) of the everyday real world and relax and have fun.

Then they simply won't be as skilled as the ones that DO put in the effort. It's like everything else in life - put in practice and effort and you will succeed. If you don't put in as much, you won't be as good.

Saying haters stop the hate doesn't really bring much but flame bate for the haters to hate on ya.

From the forum rules: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/misc.php?do=vsarules

5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of non-constructive posts. As a rule, non-constructive posting is not permitted:
Spam - this is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.

Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Likewise, the use of "/signed" posts are discouraged in that it doesn’t engender constructive discussion.

Do not create threads/posts to “petition” or “lobby” for game features, additions, changes, or other issues. You may post suggestions and/or ideas to the boards, but you may not create a ‘petition’ for others to sign. This is bumping in disguise and will not be allowed. Lobbying is continually bringing up the same topic repeatedly in numerous different threads or as an off-topic post in official threads to get developer attention. This form of posting is not permitted.

Cross posting - As a courtesy to others before beginning a new thread, please look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature. If so, place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forum needlessly and many good ideas may be lost. Use the Search link to keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.

Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are insulting and rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.

A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

False obituary threads are considered highly improper, and knowingly posting false news of a player’s real-life death may result in a ban of both your forum account and your game account.

Threads that make threats or use other combative language are not allowed.
