I understand punishing for bug exploits, but was it really necessary to sink all his TC, which took god knows how long to make, over a unknown bug which didnt really harm anyone.
If you are banned you are not supposed to send tc or items (regardless of the amount of tc or how long it took to get). Swaves used an exploit to do such a thing. Respectfully, you may have a misunderstanding of what has happened.
We've completly twisted this game. People put value into useless stuff, like replay making and completly forget about competitive. Competitive players are the most active players this game will ever get. Competitive players are the most skilled players, that constantly pratice their skills in order to keep growing for ever.

I doubt that this will do anything to change sir's opinion in regards to his ban but what Felnin said about pro players is true.
In fact, I'm not even sure why we stick around lol. How many years have we had Clan League and World Championships and everyone is just okay with using the same outdated mods that you could argue are not competitive whatsoever? We've all seen what the "optimal" playstyles in each of these mods are.
People love to complain about how all duelers do is hit and run or how we like to pointhold and shovel and camp, etc. No one seems to realize that it's not the duelers' fault. It's staff's for not caring at all about the competitive integrity of the game and won't bother to change any of the mods.
This is especially true since now in the next season of ranked they finally decided to change lenshu to winpoint lenshu and all it took was a dueler staff member. Surprise, surprise.
I've been saying the same shit for years. The usual counterargument is that it was never meant to be a competitive game in the first place and that it's just a singleplayer sandbox. Oh really? Why even have an annual tournament then? Why have a duel feature in the game? This entire community and it's staff love to shit on duelers because we have a few bad apples and you know what? It's us against the world now.
There's no narrative. Try presenting changes to the current mods that would make them more competitive and have staff say "nah we're too scared to change anything because the duelers said mean words" or instead of thinking critically they go and add breakable grabs which made the mods even less competitive. Then you'll understand what I'm talking about.
We're actually really nice guys.
As good as you are, I don't understand why you live in a world where you think this video game is built for the singular purpose of making money off dueling. You speak as if dueling is the only game mode that should exist and anyone who does not willingly partake in dueling is inferior to you.
People in this thread, and in other places are upset that staff hasn't done anything to shift metas of competitive mods. Toribash has always been a community driven game. The main 5-6 mods weren't made by staff and staff had no involvement. [Fl0w] on it's own made the adjustments they saw fit to Lenshu. They also made adjustments to Boxshu. LesDuncan in his vision made adjustments to ABD. Staff would never willingly shut down any ideas players have to better the game. I made the community outreach thread in hopes of it being used frequently, for players to mention any gripes they have. I'd like to move this discussion there, but I have no issue continuing the discussion here either seeing as you're all actively typing here.
this is actually the funniest thing abt toribash, ive never seen something like this in any other videogame community, regardless of how competitive the game is
