did you miss the whole shinyrate isnt static thread

did you miss a toxic

nope

are they all on different alt ot's? might shed some light on the 'new' system

thats just being fucking lucky.

let me break it to you, in all this time i've been around i haven't seen a single self proclaimed 'shiny hunter' who actually caught more than 1 (common) shiny or anything desired. maybe Nebula but that was probably before they changed the shinyrates. being a shiny hunter in pokemmo is not really a thing.

whats next, a group of players grinding TT to prove DS they ACTUALLY DID fuck around with rng in there? stay tuned folks.

while i do realize this is pretty much the only thing you can say without just admitting you did it on purpose, i'm not buying it. you could have come literally any day of those 1-2 years, make a thread and explain you have been playing around with the shiny rate, and finally settled on this new system you created, because vanilla settings weren't suited for an mmo, and that would have been alot better than what happened now. it shouldn't come to us forcing your hand to 'admit' gamechanging features like this.

well thanks for answering Desu but for me its a little late, looks more like damage control. you should've given a public statement about this a year ago, when you decided to keep this system, and even if you forgot back then, there were plenty of chances to come clean, but you didn't untill now when people are actually counting & calculating, this looks suspicious to say the least and after countless of threads & players making threads, asking questions and still being lied to, i feel like this issue deserved a better statement than Kyu casually dropping some vague info and a we're sorry guys.

lmao at people thinking we are getting mad over the rate being different, it's like you said, something everyone knew by now. no it's about the fact that they fucking lied for over a year, and only told us now because Jay/Kili made a thread. if not for them the FAQ would still be there next year. It's about Kyu casually dropping a 2 sentence 'we're sorry guys' and a lenny face and thats all we get? and staff being all silent but liking eachothers posts as to form some opposition? opposition of what? what do you guys even have to stand on ? 'yes we lied to you guys to make more money, but it's better for an mmo environment we promise' erm ok? you know what else is good for an mmo environment? not lying to your playerbase. communication about key gameplay factors. smh at this staff circlejerk, how can you guys back eachother up at this point.

i think most people here have long accepted by now that the rate wasn't 1/8k, infact most people often mentioned the 1/32k, and were totally fine with that, the problem here is devs lying about it for such a long time. they lost any credibility they had left tbh

because after being lied to for a year+, falsely being quoted is the real problem here.

pls this subject has been brought up over and over and over, and as kyu stated the shiny rate hasn't been a static amount for at least a year. and it's not like you guys just forgot to update the FAQ, since you just blatantly lied and directed us to the FAQ in previous threads.

how about, you know, not lying about it.

i just can't get over you casually dropping this info after literally countless of threads & players asking wtf is up. you rlly outdid yourself this time, also why now, cause some people are actually calcing & counting encounters? holy shiet man this looks so bad on you guys.

also wtf is the 'how much we think you're cheating' supposed to mean? if you think someones cheating you should ban, not mess around with shiny rates what teh actual fuck. do you do that for every account? who decides this? i know you won't answer this cause 'oh noes private info'. i didn't have high hopes but this answer still shocked me yes

i can't even, so all these previous threads according shiny rates you just blatantly lied?

thanks for pointing out what everyone alrdy said once more.

i think you're pushing this economy argument a little, i'm pretty sure some people winning midtier shinies won't break the economy. the playerbase can find 50 shinies in a single day, or 5 in a month, it's all pretty random.

couldn't agree more with these. whats so bad about rewarding the players that are actually good at the game & winning tourneys with 'massive wealth'. compared to the other ways of getting said 'massive wealth', which include: finding a shiny yourself = 100% luck based. scamming a newbie = just shitty. grinding all day = lol won't even get massive wealth. I liked the idea of letting the winner chose his/her prize, but nowadays if you don't care about a gift shiny & the other options are 20k bp, which will only drop if battle frontier, or some vanity item for your secret base where nobody ever goes, yeaaaa no thanks.

and the prizes are so random, from comp shiny misdreavus/shroomish, to tradeable shiny crobat, to non comp gift shiny koffing, is there any thought behind it?

ur all dq'd

you could always, you know, check the list.

cersei bout to get real next season.

i have a thing for qt girls with glasses.
