My point? Your view of satisfaction, is not equivalent to other people's views, though the goal is the same (self satisfaction), there are way too many different methods to reach that end. Just because you don't see it as satisfying doesn't mean other people don't, and you shouldn't tell people what would satisfy them, as you honestly haven't a clue.
Then again, that's seen a lot around here. People flat out trying to tell others their opinions don't matter, or what their opinions are/how wrong they are. So I can't say I blame you, but perhaps you should look at things through other people's eyes, instead of just seeing things in your own perspective and writing off that of others.
I'm sorry that you feel threatened by what I said, because you're getting awfully defensive about it.
You poisoned the well and used a straw man, though. I'll try to kindly rebut.
All I was saying is that if the only reason people are playing the game is because of rankings, (and this part I was implying) they are going to inevitably be investing more emotionally than they perhaps should because of factors beyond their control (including hacking).
Quote: The grind my friend, and sorry to say, but yes the satisfaction is taken away when others can do it in an illegit manner, and take away your rank. Not all who enjoy the grind, enjoy the top spot, but some do. I enjoyed hitting number 1 Mihile in Bera, not for other people to recognize me, but for my own knowledge that I did it.
By this notion of self-satisfaction: self-knowledge of an achievement should be enough. If you are the first legitimate player to reach whatever level, and you know it (regardless of numbers/rankings/others' perceptions), that alone should be satisfying.
If a hacker beats you to ___ level and takes away your rank, but you are the first to reach ___ level legitimately, does that change the fact that you were the first to do it legitimately? No. And you would know it.
