I dont ever play offline other than in my first week of this game to hide the fact that i was a scrub.
Personally i dont find low playcount impressive.
So i want to know why do people play offline when they can play online?
Is having a low playcount supposed to look good or something?


EDIT : added the bolded red part

Do not be afraid to be bad: Most people get discouraged from the level of difficulty in rhythm games early on. This is because most rhythm games features a seemingly never-ending difficulty scale, and it's intimidating when you're having trouble at the beginning. But this is also due that these games uses mechanics that one most likely never practiced before.(...) It's completely normal to be bad when you start off. Most the time, when someone is better than you, it's simply because he's played more or has played more seriously than you. Just keep in mind that he used to be at your level too at some point in time :P .You just need spend more time playing and pushing yourself to the next level. Don't worry about it too much, it'll come.
(from mania "how to improve" topic)

Additionaly as scrub you will get "never give up" as - play more / your top ranks sucks balls.

I play offline when my ISP decide to break some hardware connected to my line...

there's no status modes on osu as well, so the only way to dodge people is to go offline

Actually nvm. This thread is a mistake.
I just rmb that most offline players will never admit that they play offline.
Neither do they go to the forums.
Theyre probably looking at their profiles admiring their pp : playcount ratio while Im still left confused about "what makes low playcount look good?"

So it seems like we wont be getting a reply from an actual offline player anytime soon.

Playing offline prevents you from losing ranks for having fun.

because I don't want to show my actual playcount which could be 30000+, I don't do it to look good
I admit that I play offline on my userpage since the first time I got userpage

Low play count by playing offline or multi is a fake thing, you shouldn't be proud of it

I'm a true online player, I don't even play unranked maps. Umbrella

Some people do that to make themselves feel superior because they have lower playcounts.

I do it to avoid #cancer and because 6969 is obviously the best play count.

There are some really nice unranked maps (for example road game). I really wish that map was still available to download... Is it possible to upload a map that is no longer available and credit the original creator? I'm not very tech savvy, but I think more people should have access to this map.

Back on topic, I think that a person should do whatever they want to do regarding offline mode. If they don't want high play counts for whatever reason, then so be it. To me it's a sign of how much I've played (hit count included). Though others might feel more pressure from playing online or have another reason so they don't do it.

The only time when offline players are a bit annoying is when the come on the forums asking a question. You know what type of response they will get, and all they have to back themselves up is, "I usually play offline."
