Well, taking a look here in this forum, you can see that I'm a huge advocate against pp scores. They're like kryptonite to me. I get a sad look on my face when I see someone have pp scores in their top plays. Not that I've never played pp maps though. I'm ashamed on the scores that I got from pp maps, unknowing of what their purpose is made for. It saddens me when players inflate their ranks when you can organically increase them through pure improvement and skill. :cry:

Real question is, should the SR system be improved to average a maps difficulty, or should a map's PP be dynamic-- based on the patterns and their length.

I honestly don't think much about it and everyone should be free to play the game however they prefer. Pp-maps have been a thing ever since the system got implemented, whether someone wants to make use of such maps to increase their rank with comparibly less effort is up to each person themself.
It's not like people are cheating the system, it's a part of the game and as long as anyone can fairly make use of it, then I think nobody should be judged or blamed for farming. The majority of people that complain about pp farmers are usually the ones that lack the skill to properly farm themself, so they prefer to swing their morale cudgel on others instead :p
Although I do agree that the system is a bit flawed and reuqires some work to make difficulties of all skill sets equally rewarding.

If ranking and pp are things you care about for your self-confidence and give you a feeling of fulfillment/enjoyment, then why not? It's a game after all. Simply focus on your own game, and not on others. For a lot of people pushing ranks is like reaching milestones, and that's where fun and motivation lays^-^

honestly pretty neutral about them but i do hate seeing intentional farm like triumph and end time

A way to keep people motivated and have some competition "but pp is based on vibro and lns" my opinion on that is just skill issue lol get good. Most people who opininates on pp farming are 5 digits and people who don't really understand how hard it is to farm from #2000 and above

PP farming is fun to do occasionally.

It ain't much but its honest work

I play all ranked maps so my top plays end up being "pp maps". I think it's just a preference how you play the game, so I'm neither for it nor against it.

Realistically you can't say it's a problem that people "play maps".

The issue lies purely in Mania's difficulty calculator.

who gives one care that people farm or not. there's a reason loved maps exist. If you pp farm you pp farm. There's no other way to get in the high ranks without farming. Farming is skillfull whether or not you agree. It's not something everyone an do.

I just farm pp every once in a while to see how much I've improved.

I dont really care about it I just dont enjoy it much myself. I'll do it sometimes, but I dont plan to farm anymore in mania much after I get around 9k.

In my opinion, I don't care too much and I will keep my stance unless PP farming disrupts the game players too much. Most players doing PP farming would want to enjoy, wouldn't they?

I don't mind pp farming.
I do it whenever I want to see my improvement.
