LeZenor

When you share your opinion on public forums, you have to expect that people will disagree with you, that’s just how it is on the internet man. You can’t just expect people to agree with you every single time you share your thoughts on a topic. And if people see a flaw in a specific part of your argument (which they did), they will point it out. I don’t particularly agree on the way they did but regardless, you are entitled to your opinion and so are they and nothing compels them to answer all of the 84 other lines of your post. Maybe they agree with the rest or maybe they don’t or maybe they just don’t bother to reply to everything in any of your post. Nobody is out to get you Bug-type resisting to Psychic-type was part of your argument. You were proven wrong. That’s it

Operation Snake Eater LeZenor

Yeah like Eggplant said, the staff member that reviewed the ban is different from the one who administered it and after reviewing the evidence, deemed that the ban was appropriate and would not be lifted. If your ban appeal has been denied then there’s nothing else that can be done. Bothering staff members won’t change that outcome and they gain nothing from showing you what or how you got caught breaking the rules

This one went over your head… woooosh

This is extremely irrelevant to the topic and also you should get your facts right because I did not even play that tour lol

It gets everything wrong because it’s not a fair and logical argument, she’s arguing in bad faith. She’s not really worried about the "state of the game’s economy", she’s worried about her personal investments. That whole story is made up to make it seem less like a selfish request. She is suggesting the removal of an existing feature to make it harder for everyone and especially newer players to grind money because according to her, those players should only limit themselves to grind long and tedious gym leaders to earn a dime while she can watch her investment go up by doing absolutely nothing like she thinks she deserves. Alphas and/or exp candies causing vanities to drop in price is an extremely big stretch and is the least of our worries in regards to the game economy. It truly is an elitist suggestion and it is in all honesty very disgusting and disingenuous.

As terrible as his passing is, monetizing his death would be a truly awful thing to do

I'm genuinely annoyed that some posts have been removed and someone actually received warning points without prior warning on this thread for something pretty mild for PSL standards and just in general. It definitely doesn't warrant a whole week ban from forums. What @MathewMatposted was legitimate criticisms for the sake of the integrity of the event given that the actions of Doc jeopardised entire seasons in the past. This is the main thread announcing this season's PSL where we discuss the new host and the event, so I'm not really sure how that constitutes derailing in all honesty. Can't we not share our concerns without the risk of receiving a warning point because a certain someone can't stand the fact that we won't look past actions they've made in the past and continues to this day to take no accountability whatsoever? That's ridiculous, we might as well not have a thread in the first place. Beside, these decisions to ban Doc were made public and were done by previous hosts which are players, this is common knowledge for anyone that isn't an outsider. This is no account ban, there is no digging dirt on anybody here, no one is revealing private information. So which is it ? Drama or no drama? Or does it not apply to you? Rules for thee and not for me? He brought you drama but you shrugged it off and told staff to remove it. Or are you gonna argue that it was against some forum rules? Worst things have been said on other PSL threads in the past. Staff have always shown some leniency in this regard. This is extremely mild in comparison.

Could we adjust the rules so that matches can be bought with money as well, it would make things much simpler

Gbwead vs Garchomp SD 2: Electric Boogaloo

Agreed, very refreshing addition and overall good content. Please don’t keep your hard work locked behind seasonal events, this is a much needed endgame content!

I really don’t think it has anything to do with arrogance. I think they’ve learned from previous years that making no promises is better than making empty promises. They used to do it more often in the past, but people were actually pretty mad and were giving them more shit when they would not deliver on time. I believe that whatever project they are working on is not up to their quality standards and are spending more time polishing it and correcting issues that can be detrimental to user experience and I don’t blame them for doing that and I also don’t blame them for not getting too much into details. I’m sure they are not happy themselves that they couldn’t finish on time and take no pleasure in adding delays. It’s fair to be disappointed and we can argue about the lack of communication but I think the contempt you have towards them is the actual arrogance and selfishness that is on display, not theirs

Community Combats and Yetto’s Taillow Time hosted during mostly EU timezones did fail to fill 16-seat tours by the end of LC and at that point we would only see the same players actually playing in them. I think most of the reasoning behind the decision were stated in their official statement at the time and in my opinion, still holds up to this day. As far as we’re concerned, none of the reasons listed in caos’ post were actual reasons given by staff except for point number 3. The rest is all speculations. We can debate why LC “failed“ as a tier but that is not to be confused with what prompted the staff to remove it

I think they should fire themselves out of their jobs, that will teach them :^)

Pvp exclusive hats are purely cosmetic, legendaries are defintely not. That's just false equivalencey. Neither cosmetics nor shinies give you an edge over your adversaries like legendaries do. Some legendaries can be played with different moveset and natures meaning having to own several of the same pokemon just so you can be on par with the meta. Sure you can change movesets and natures, redo EVs and all but that's not practical and also quite expensive every time you must adapt your pokemon. So in order to acquire all of those pokemon, you either have to hunt for them, if the current legendary cycle allows it and if you can spare several hours a day that month before a new cycle begins, or spend tens of millions through GTL or trades to fill your pc, as more new legendaries are rolling out. It's not unreasonable to think this isn't fair. I think most people would be fine if the means to acquire legendaries were actually challenging the players and not insufferable endless grind based on rng, especially given how important they are for the competitive scene

Only the rightful king of England could pull the sword out of the stone, does that mean all the unworthy, luckless, non-pve players are not deserving of finding their legendaries? If you catch my drift

Why you gotta gatekeep the thread dude, nobody asked for your input either yet you've posted twice already, which is totally fine but what he said was totally on-topic and I could find myself agreeing with his post, why shouldn't he be allowed to share his opinion as well? You're free to disregard him if you disagree. That was just unnecessary It might not be a problem for Mkns but it might just be for other players, just saying

My biggest disappointment is both Kyu and Desu not updating their profile pics for the holidays…

Yes we need some clarification here since EDT stops being observed on Nov. 5 (UTC -4) and we move to EST (UTC -5)

Piracy isn’t the same thing as cheating in the game and doesn’t share the same legal ramifications

People lie to safe face all the time because they just can't cope with the fact they got caught their pants down. You would be surprised the length some people can go to lie their way out. This is not uncommon, this situation is not any different. I'm sure you're aware that they cannot reveal how and what method they use to catch cheaters right. Because otherwise it would render them pretty much useless. Why should cheaters be deserving of a heads-up. Besides, third-party software have always been against the rules so this isn't anything new. The nerves to be surprised when you are caught knowing you're doing something wrong. EDIT: I'm not saying the system is flawless either. I've dealt with ban appeals in the past, I've seen this situation again and again. People blindly defending guilty players because they're friends or teammates. False positive is a thing yes but it's not as common as people think. I'm not saying no mistake has ever been made, but if there are mistakes then they are corrected in ban appeals.

It's pretty bold to claim all of these things while lacking all the knowledge behind it. All your assumptions are based on anecdotal evidence gathered from complaints of forum users and players without any way to tell which one is lying and which one isn't. A sudden ban wave isn't necessarily random nor does it prove the system faulty, far from it. "So many bans, they can't be all real bans!" is not a real argument, there's no logical reasoning behind this nor is there any factual evidence brought forward nor does it correlate to anything. This is just your assessment of things as they are unfolding. You're supporting information that confirms your view while ignoring contrary information such as Goku admitting to have lied. How can you distrust the devs but trust in the words of a bunch of random players when in BOTH cases you have no way to distinguish which one is being deceitful to you? What makes them any less trustworthy? You're not really being fair here.

Should’ve not played the trumpet in 2 dojos.. what were you thinking
