You might be surprised by how close 30k and 43k are skill wise. If I were you I wouldn't worry about it and just try my best at improving.

Meh.. Don't worry about it man. Just bump your number of plays per week up if you want to catch up. If you're improving, then that's all that matters.

I have a lot of plays/total hits for my rank (although I'm gaining ranks very quickly) and it doesn't bother me at all - I play because I enjoy it.

i used to play for rank so i have to retry alot, that make my play count seem high
Some people play for rank, some play for skill
now after thinking about it, im really stupid to play for rank at that time

play count means nothing, some people retry a lot, some play offline, some make new accounts.

Means nothing? I disagree.

Play count is the worst measure for skill. I spend nearly 50% of my time retrying a song within 5 seconds. Today I accumulated 500 plays in a row without finishing a single song. That's probably more play count than some people get in a week and I got it in a day.

I'd say play count is next to useless and carries just as much value as ppv1 rankings did.

means little is different than means nothing

So you are sad because you improve slower than your friends and feel inferior.

You either mess around too much or are indeed inferior.

Playcount says nothing ... the most of the 1-10k Player with a Playcount under 10k have played offline or smurfed

well.. if you're worried about passing freedom dive with a 10k play count, I would say most would tell you your play count is too low, no? That's what I mean

If you go past 30 - You're aren't Asian enough. No more than 30, no less than 30k. If you fall between the middle you're fucked.

implying 4 digit rank takes remotely any skill to get, or rare


where you spend your plays is just as important as your playcount, from an improvement standpoint

Play count doesn't mean all that much I'm personally slow and sometimes just sometimes I sit there retrying 1 song 50 times, I play alot of songs I can't do at all because they're fun maps.(Mess around to much ) ^^

Some people learn faster than others. Like it took me 5k+ plays to decently do an insane while others take only 1k+. Play count isn't very accurate but it tells people how much effort the person is putting.

If you ever need to feel good about your time to skill ratio just take a look at my profile. 20K plays and I'm rank...20K.

I blame it on my complete inability to stream anything above 160BPM.

If i were you, i'd blame the shittiness on not playing maps that you can't FC, and instead farm Hards.

It's easy. Just do what I do and play 12 hour days for 3 months straight (because I don't have a life due to medical issues, woo), then you can get to top 5k with only 3k plays!

To be honest though, the only reason I got to this rank though is because of what I have to go through (which results in me being able to play these 12 hour days in the first place.) I would rather be a low rank with high plays than to be a high rank with low plays due to circumstance.

I would be less concerned with "How many ranks can I get in X plays?" and more with "What rank do I want to be and how determined am I to get there?" As Michelangelo once said "If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all."
