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

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 :^)
