GGG has a Ben problem.

Imagine being salty because a guy who literally plays POE as a job wins competitions again and again.

It doesn't matter what you nerf or change in the game, the dudes still gonna win. You can cry as much as you want, maybe instead you should do some 2 stone practice runs.

Looking forward to seeing you in the next competition, maybe you can design a new unique!

I pointed out it would be easy to set the rules so Ben would loses the competition. But Ben would complain the game is rigged and probably wouldn't play. Like it is incredibly unlikely for any particular person to win the lottery.

why is it specifically about ben? why not an exile problem? would thematically be much more fitting.

Is the problem one guy just keeps on winning? Speaking as if he doesn't have to do anything for the victory..

I'm not so sure you understand what you have written, nor what you have read in what you quoted and responded to.....

1. First point (the "dismissive" one): it was the exact opposite of dismissive. He was acknowledging that OTHER folks are dismissing Ben's unique skill and effort at the game.

Your response about "implies everyone can be Ben" was the exact opposite of the post you quoted.

2. Second point (easy to set the rules so Ben would lose).......to what are you referring? This seems to come out of nowhere and refer to nothing in your current conversation.


So my question to you: what is your actual point? Clarify it. Because I'm like 99% sure its the SAME point that the other guy made which you marked as "dismissive". Because what I read is a whole lot of discombobulated, unrelated comments against posts you are fundamentally understanding the opposite of.

And this whole "gatekeeping" thing.....doesn't fit with anything you quoted. Someone being better than most others at something isn't gatekeeping (literally what the quoted person said, that you appear to agree AND disagree with). I can all but guarantee I'm a better pianist than you are, being a professional myself, but that doesn't mean I play any role in deterring you from playing the piano. If I win a bunch of international competitions, how does that impact you going off and deciding to play or learn piano on your own? And if it does in a negative way....then that's a personal hangup, not a "fact".

Would it be "fair" for me to continue winning piano competitions? You bet your sweet ass it is, if I am better than all my competitors. That is what a competition is. Whether its hard work, talent, time, or any combination of those.....doesn't matter. If you are better than everyone else, you win.

And if the competition creators were to "take action" against a repeat winner, it invalidates all future competition.

Basketball was dominated by Bird at one point. The call wasn't to "nerf" Bird, the other players had to get gudder.

Oh, got it. This is the level of competing that I am completely naïve about.

What you say is contradictory. Hard work, talent, time, or any combination of those are important factors on deciding the winning. An odd of winning is never equal, competition is never fair and complicated by real-world imbalances. Some people might never really be able to reach the level of others, for environmental or genetic reasons.

A game is generally considered unfair if players do not have an equal chance of winning; a fair game is formally defined as one where every player has an equal probability of winning.

The Problem of the Dominance of Skill on deciding the winner. Simply put. If winning piano competitions does not depend how good you are at it, hard work, talent, time, or any combination of those.....doesn't matter.

If there's an inherent advantage for some participants, the game is not fair. Someone has very high odds of winning and would consistenly win. Would it be much fairer, if the game is depend on luck? It invalidates all skill on winning, the element of chance or luck completely overrides the player's skill, making their abilities irrelevant to the final outcome.

Understanding the concept A competitive process may not be fair if it involves competition that had an unfair starting point or what some people might conceive as "fair" is simply to be not so.

It is unfair that Mozart is the best fortepiano musician. It's simply because he trained from childhood. I am a quite fast learner, so i should be the winner. And we should achieve this by reforging fortepiano once in a while.

The thing that you call "Ben problem" other people call as simple envy.

Ggggggggggg

It doesn't matter if they play from home. If people have the oppurtunity to cheat they will do so. YOu must be delusional to assume they won't cheat for that much money. People do it without money being involved just so their internet name is on top at the end of the current match.

A Gauntlet where everybody is physically present and has to play on a set computer would be interesting. Last exilecon, pre exilecon races, Ben was nowhere to be seen...And don't tell me he doesn't do act 5 races, he is first to act5 kitava all the time...

That doesn't mean he just cheats and isn't any better than everybody else btw, but as long as it's from home who knows what's going on on his system.
