I think the reason most farm shamers are complaining is because of what you said, they can't play whatever you're playing which is giving you easy pp or that your skillset is more overweighted than theirs, so either they just can't farm DT or they're some NM supremacist who just hates DT to the core. Either way this is an insanely good take. Thank you for your presence and wisdom.MrSparklepants wrote:
I was once a DT farm shamer, but then I realized at that time I was also just a nomod jump farmer. Eventually, I realized that DT isn't the only way to farm and as I've gotten higher in rank I realized that everyone farms to a certain degree, it's just that they farm the skill they're best at (like me farming consistency maps/aim maps). In short, right now I think it's actually a smart way to play the game, because why would you want to get a nomod 400PP play that is either some cross-screen jumps or a 5+ minute stream map like Save Me/Through the Fire and Flames when you can just play quick DT aim maps and get the same result since, in theory, you're playing easier patterns faster. However, I will stick to saying being a one-trick is bad.
In conclusion, I think they're pretty immature caring about other's top plays when they probably can't even play the maps they're complaining about. It's your account, your top plays, play what you want, enjoy the game.
Yeah I think farm maps are a good way to introduce yourself to a skillset since they're arguably far easier to practice than an actual skill based map.manishmathur wrote:
farming isnt bad. You have to farm at some point but its bad if the only thing you do is farm.
And many player cant find difference between full farmer and player who play farm map to progress on a star or to get comfortable with a AR. like i do have many farm maps in my top play but that does not mean the only thing i do is farming

Any gatekeeping/elitism as a whole sucks.
top plays are the worst metric of skill after all..IryN wrote:
I think it sucks as well that some people don't give a shit if you have some nice consistency/aim NM play then start absolutely shaming you once you start playing DT then won't even notice if you get a nice score on some random tech map (granted it's not gonna be in your top plays, but I feel like you shouldn't really judge someone's skill just with their top plays), sometimes osu really shows how flawed* humanity is and that kinda sucks.Lilyn wrote:
farm maps in top plays are fine for me, it will happen.
farms maps are the gateway to a skill after all, of course you'll get pp from it.
i just dont like if they make farm maps their main map, it sucks.
Because people enjoy playing them. They are easy compare to other mapsnomi1 wrote:
the stupidest thing about farm shamers is that they complain about farm maps being overweighted and then are surprised that those maps end up in your top plays. I don't really understand how people can only play farm maps (although I have no problem with them doing so), but the only way you're gonna have minimal farm maps in your top plays is if you are dedicated to never playing them and while thats something you can do, its such a stupid and specific ideology to push on to other people.
people can enjoy the game however they want, whether its good for their progress/profile/anything or not. People who put others down for that aren't very nice people. I feel like i've done it in the past but with a greater understanding of the game etc I really wish I didnt if i did, there's no point to it.IryN wrote:
How do you feel about farm shamers

i didn't ask anyone to review my profile tho...7ambda wrote:
No, that's literally how I feel. You asking me to review your profile implies you're insecure about how you play and thus need to seek validation to confirm your sense of progress. That annoys me so I'll (probably) criticize you if you aren't dressed to impress.
e: Obviously I won't go around bashing randoms' profiles for the hell of it. There's absolutely no point unless you're basically asking for it.
e2: I see it a lot in this forum where people come in asking posters to judge them, but they have nothing really to show for it.
I think the "you" he's referring to is not referring you, but rather the people who ask to review profiles.IryN wrote:

never tried to seek validation either. I was just genuinely curious about what people thought about farm shamers. I have no clue what you're on about
Edit: Idk where you got the idea that I wanted you to review my profile. I never wrote it in the post or in the title. Also who told you that I was insecure about my top plays?? What part of my post implied that I was insecure? If you're seeing things either ur tired or you're high, you should probably get some rest.
Oh i see, you could've exchanged "you" for a different word but yeah that's a good point. The way I see it tho is that it doesn't instantly imply that you're insecure about your top plays, cuz person x might just be trying to improve through constructive criticism and advice from other players. Another thing that might be the reason for profile reviews along the osu!forums being bad is cuz it's just 6 digits rating other 6 digits. It kinda just becomes this method to make your ego bigger instead of a method to improve (it might vary from person to person but that's just the way I see it). I mean like if that 6 digit is a different breed of deranker who knows an ass ton about the game then I guess it's fine but otherwise not really, all you're pretty much doing is gonna be boosting someone else's ego, it might be good, it might be bad, I'm just saying.7ambda wrote:
Let's clear this misunderstanding before escalating further. I was responding in terms of everyone (general), not you specifically as an individual. You posted this thread to ask what anyone else thinks of "is it right for group X to shame group Y for doing these actions?"
For me, yes (speaking on behalf of myself based on my viewpoint) if these circumstances happen. Never did I intend to bash YOU for farming during your play sessions. My point is that I MYSELF would criticize those people (NOT YOU YOURSELF) if they were asking for judgement but had nothing to really present from just farming incessantly.
@Yhuan THANK YOU for understanding.
If you feel like the game should be played a "certain way" and people aren't playing this "certain way". AN excuse I usually waive if we're talking about players who think Osu is an aim-trainer when it's literally not.Upbeat wrote:
Why should people get defensive over what others play? Like mind your own business it's not hard
if you are adding all than of course not all farmer are bad but if the only map they play is farm then i can easily say 90% of farmer are bad because their accuracy will be bad and other skills will be suck too.Almost wrote:
Shaming farmers is assuming that farmer are all bad players which doesn't make any sense. Just because you farm doesn't neccessarily make you a bad player.
You can build skill from farm maps since they're easier than more skill based maps. Farm maps are what introduced me to DT. Back then I has trouble bursting 230 but now I can burst up to 300 on a good day and stream about 220 on a good day and that's thanks to DTing farm maps. Sincee they're easier you can build fundamentals off of them faster.manishmathur wrote:

I have lot of farm map in my top play and have good accuracy but i didnt build my skill by playing farm maps and i doubt that anyone can make their skills good by playing farm maps
Just curious.Rikuka wrote:
firstly , i'm became farmers

trust me , farm doesn't make your skills higher
for shaming farmers itself , its just up to him/her , why you care about other people opinions in the first place ? ..
many people say stop caring about others opinion but that's important. You should listen others opinions so you can improve your own opinions . its like if i am killing people than why should i hear other people opinion to not kill. why would i care about others opinion.Rikuka wrote:

It's probably since a lot of the community plays more standard map as a main and not tech. It makes them think they're unique when in reality they're not since if you main tech then obviously you'd be good at it 4head.Yone wrote:
i only play farm maps and always get farmed shamed by ppl who think they are so special for playing tech but tbh it’s quite funny
You can, just need to try lol I also play farm maps but now i can play other maps too.travelkuda wrote:
A guy like me can only play farm maps
Really? I thought by definition its the opposite. They require less fundamentals (rhythm sense, aim etc) to get more pp. Since it doesnt test fundamentals it doesnt teach them either.IryN wrote:
