I mean, if I play a map with ez pp, its probably because I like the song or the map. Unless its REALLY overweighted, I don't really care too much.
I can turn my favorite songs into my least favorite if I get tilted enough while farming it over and over. I used to love cYsmix feat. Emmy - Tear Rain, but now that I've been trying to FC it with DT, all I can associate it with me being pissed off.Radiant Rayv wrote:

As soon as I get a score I felt was terrible, then see +500 +1000 rank etc, I can't help but laugh too. I've been having a dry run for the last 2 months, untilN0thingSpecial wrote:

I did laugh uncontrollably when I got my current top play on hitorigoto cause it's legitimately retardedly overweighted
I wish rank was more indicative of skill too. If this was a perfect game, that'd be possible but nothing is perfect. Maybe in the future the PP system will be better, I don't have high hopes though. I honestly wish accuracy was weighted more than it currently is. You could get a 99.95% HDHR A rank and not even break the top 200 of a maps scoring if that 0.05% was from 1 miss, and probably not get anything real amount of PP for it either. Imagine if marathon maps were the only map types to give PP, no one would have any at all unless they could FC 15+ minute maps.Edgar_Figaro wrote:
Personally I am of the mindset that I wish everyone farmed PP maps.
Why you may ask? Well the current weighting system is broken and some maps give way more than they should and others give way less. If we want to have an "accurate" ranking system then the closest we could get to that is for everyone to go out and farm the easy PP. You won't ever be able to completely balance the system, and people abstaining from farming these maps are just artifically trying to keep their rank lower than it should be.
Sure you can look cool in multiplayer when you can beat higher rank players as your skill is much higher than your rank, but I kinda would just prefer if the amount of PP you had was almost indicative of the maps you were able to farm as it would give skill indication, albeit in a somewhat strange way.
Able to farm 100PP maps? Able to farm 150PP maps? ect.

that's not how it works for me because i'm inconsistent and not clairvoyant, i don't know what will end up easy and what won't.
so i do feel bad that my pp has to come from aim farm which is my weakness, but i don't feel guilty because aim is randomization to me
i want to get pp from stuff i actually play but until then i will shamelessly farm jump spike maps with a good spacing to bpm ratio (for example choco butter choco cookie feels a lot harder than 6.6 stars for me because it's 204bpm and thus high spacing) whenever i feel like i have enough luck tokens in my inventory

Do I shrug off this mindset, and farm away and not give a fuck? OR should I just stick to what I do now and slowly dwindle in rank? Neither really feel good, because as I watch my rank decline I feel like I have to farm, but then I farm and then feel guilty about it. By farm I mean try these maps a few times, get pp higher than I feel like I deserve for it and ask "How? Why?"

I'm pretty overranked by farming some maps I think are "easy PP" but there's no reason for me to feel bad about them. What's so wrong about using the same map everyone else is farming from? If you have enough skills to farm them then go for it, and if you don't thenkeep retrying and hope for a lucky shotjust practice until you can do it.

Idk about feeling guilty but you should probably turn you computer off, go sit in a corner for an hour or two, and contemplate why it is that you measure your self worth by some ranking in a circle clicking game of all things.
Then when you've finished that perhaps you'll see it's silly to feel guilt or much of anything over something so meaningless.
It may just be a game to some, but sometimes to me it's more than that. When I started playing this game I told myself I wanted to become good enough to impress myself. So sure I shouldn't take it so seriously but when it comes to seeing how much I can improve at something with dedication, I have to take it more seriously than just a game. I'm not good at sports, and this may make me sound like a total loser but why treat improving at something that requires reflex, speed, control and comprehension skills less because it's "just" clicking circles.chainpullz wrote:

I don't see how your rank factors into this. Even if maps gave 0pp and rankings were non-existent you would still be able to impress yourself. Whether you are undeservedly rank 1 or just another 6 digit player makes no difference.Manfred wrote:

Some people just don't accept "pp mapping" and it is a point of honor for them to not have top ranks filled with them. Simple as that.B1oody wrote:
Don't place artificial limits on yourself. If you can FC a map go ahead and do it. There is no "honor" in avoiding certain types of maps.
Like I honestly couldn't wrap around my head why people actively avoid farming pp, you could still pretty much rank up and have various non meta maps in your top rank like what you said about cookieziB1rd wrote:
I actively avoid PP most. As a consequnce, for the most part, my top ranks are filled with maps that are good and I actually enjoy, rather than generic anime map 1-100.

Actually, in your cases, you're still letting the system define what you play.B1rd wrote:
That is the difference between a player who defines skill himself compared to someone who has a system define skill for him.
Yes, I actively avoid shitty maps because I don't like those maps, nor do I want to support those maps with my plays, nor do I want to have them as permanent records on my top ranks rather than my top ranks being defined by maps I like and play. I'd much rather actively avoid PP maps that over time my top ranks being filled with nothing but TV-size this and DT that.Philosofikal wrote:

Did it ever occur to you two that when you define yourself as anti-conformists, you're letting the people you hate control you, because you have to do the opposite of whatever they're doing, even when they're right?
Not actively chasing pp I can understand. But actively avoiding it? Get a grip.
