that is a huge IF and you know it, kushi is free but tsunade is a whale only character and you know as well as i do whales hate competition, there is a reason why 4 years of this game and kagari and loco are still in one space time getting free wins because no one even cares enough to try anymore, while there are other equally powered players who could give kagari a challenge but we've never even heard of them and why is that? They hate competition and the concept of losing is damaging enough to their sense of self worth they pay to avoid effort and oasis bends over backwards to help them, everything is cross server now, but space time remains locked into the nonsensical bracket they always have been in, there is no reason space time couldn't be altered, they simply don't want to because they want to protect the 1% in their paid bubble of vanity to stroke their ego's because catering to the biggest spending customers makes financial sense. Imagine how much more interesting space time would be for everyone if there were fights and not just wins by time out because everyone already knows the outcome, imagine if at the end of each cycle we got to see the most powerful players use the hardest to obtain characters and have a real fight, instead of not even bothering to open the space time tab and instead just seeing the inevitable banner saying woohoo, kagari won because there were no other opponents.....again, just a few days ago was liz vs kagari in the final, Liz is strong af, but even she knows its not worth her time, so she went into the fight with just her main to get it over with quickly, you say people change team in space time to adapt to the opponent, I do not know if you see a different bracket than I do, but that has not been true for what i see for a long time

I do not pretend to know every powerful player in our game and I do not deny there will be exceptions. Who knows? in over 1500 servers there might actually be a person with a thick wallet who isnt a complete tool, but the bulk of the biggest whales avoid anybody they have any chance at all of losing to as if their lives depended on it, but yes you are right, in the infinitesimally small potentiality that 2 big whales accidentally face off against each other, then and only then do the other 2 characters in the lineup matter at all.

Yes meta changes names, but the game and concept remain, at any one point in time there is one team that is measurably the best current team in the game, thats why everyone flocks to it, because they are too *, too boring or too dumb to even try and counter it, and at this moment in time both kushi and tsunade are broken beyond reason, they are effectively dev mode characters, the type of characters developers would use during development testing to repeat instances over and over checking for bugs without having to worry about dying so they can just focus on performance and bug testing, so combining them would put you on top, with the exception of the cir*stances in the first paragraph, so unless kagari , loco or someone else with over 1.5mil bp reads this, it is a valid point to practically the entire player base

my guy, theres a lot to process in this thread, but what on earth are you trying to say?

"but still proceed to say that Liz is strong af.... bruh she a whale too"

The argument stated was that the outcome of events being guaranteed before they even begin is boring because competition no longer exists, how do you think that saying someone is strong undo that argument? if anything it cements it, the remark was that Liz, who is also the 1%, also knows that the outcome is guaranteed so even someone as strong as her backs down and lets kagari stroll to victory without even trying. What should be a clash of titans, the richest people using the best teams money can buy facing off, what should be a spectacle is instead over before it even begins. I do not know what your understanding of the message was, but I agree that essentially rigged stuff is boring

This is a weird example, but bear with me, it is the only universally understandable one I can concoct.

Imagine the world cup, imagine if one team was guaranteed to win all their matches before they even knew who their opponents were.

Imagine it gets to the final, it should be an instance where 2 very skilled teams, at the top of their field compete against each other.

Now imagine if in that final match one team forfeit before the match even started.

Would people not be disappointing by this? would people not think this is a boring series of events?

That is the principle of what was said, or at least that is how I have interpreted it, its a competitive thing, yet the competitive aspect has been removed and we dont even get to watch any decent fights before the inevitable conclusion that the staff member has yet again beat the players and it could be easily addressed as you pointed out there are other people with over 1 mil bp in this game, there are people that could put up a good fight against the likes of kagari, but that wont happen because the company would rather keep the game stale and * smoke up the *s of the 0.001% rather than promote a competitive atmosphere which would financially benefit them

"don't just focus on 1 or 2 ppl here"

again, wut? it isnt focusing on 1 or 2 people to mention the names of the 1-2 people who are always at the top of your cluster, we dont see other clusters, ofcourse there are other rich people, and the same will be true in other clusters, but you are saying that someones argument is moot because they cant name players who they have never seen they can only mentions names they know as examples?

im not in your cluster, I couldnt see those fights even if I wanted to see a staff member walk to victory I only knew those names from others posts and some less than flattering opinions that pop up time to time, I was just trying to elaborate because I think you misinterpreted the message so I tried to put things into my words.

Also, personally I dont care that people spend, that is their choice to make I would not stop them even if I somehow had the power to do so, I only voiced in because it sounded the same as my space time experience, in the entirety of a season there are maybe 3 fights, the rest of them just time out because people dont even bother to show up anymore.

I still think its valid that this balance could easily be addressed, its an mmo, its supposed to be a big community, and everything is cross server these days, so why not cross-cluster space time? it wont kill the richest people around to lose 1 season of space time now and then but it would make things interesting, both for those whales because they would get honest to god fights, we would get to see the characters that most of us will never have access to put to the test in an actual competition and it would be interesting for the betting system and for us to watch. If regular people like you and I have to face ultra whales from different clusters in arena or bonds why not pit them against in each other in the occasional space time?
