    I don't believe that. I'm a little too busy with my life to entertain fantasy conspiracy theories involving a video game.

    What is your definition of "conspiracy theory"..and then compare it to what lengths a software gaming company would go to market a game.

    Especially to market a game to give it the best possible posture. that it is competitive and purchasing additional cards will help you, the customer, be more competitive.

    If a sports gaming company isn't able to create an online environment that creates the illusion of competition...it will fail. Who would go online and play a complete stranger KNOWING the code decides the outcome? Rhetorical question.

    If you honestly think that the code decides the outcome in this game then why do you play it? NOT a rhetorical question. Seriously guy. If you honestly believe this game has some sort of nefarious comeback logic programmed into the code that completely takes the game out of your hands, then why are you wasting your time playing it (and then wasting even more time whining about it on the forums)?

    I don't play it. I quit playing it a couple weeks ago. I feel a responsibility to show solidarity with the others on this forum that like to remind everyone this is an RNG. All the promoting and marketing and talking up the next great challenge, and debating who the best catcher is.....it's all BS.

    Just need to keep the coalition of skeptics strong. Otherwise the naïve and young will be brains washed with no opportunity to get the real scoop. It's important.

    Exactly what we need... Conspiracy theorits that don't play the game but come post here to b*tch about it...

    The idea of playing and getting better is obvious... Do anything more and you get better... Just the way our brain works, unless you've mastered it with 10,000 hours of your life.

    You can literally check out anyone who posts here's universal profile. If you think all these guys who have 800+ hours in the game work for SDS, you need to re-evaluate what you think developers do while they are on the clock.

    Next.

    The vast majority of players don't visit a site like this, so no, creating an "illusion" on this forum doesn't keep the game from "failing"

    How in the world can you make that assessment? The vast majority? C'mon you know you pulled that straight out of your

    I didn't pull that out of nothing.

    Do you see thousands of people posting here? Me neither.

    To be honest...I see a lot of people posting here. I drop in, perhaps, once a week. So, perhaps there are thousands of posters. Did you ever count 'em?

    There isn't a need to count, if you hang around here regularly, it's as plain as day that there are maybe a couple hundred.

    But if you want to make that claim, go ahead, look even sillier. Claim that there "thousands upon thousands" on this forum.

    Who believes that MOST that posts replies suggesting "keep practicing..you'll get better", "use this strategy and your game will elevate", etc. are likely SDS employees or have some vested agenda to keep people immersed in this game?

    I would admit there are prob a few out here that truly believe they are really good and hours played made the difference for them. I would not try to discourage this belief. Just like I would not try to discourage a 4-year old from believing in the tooth-fairy or Santa.

    My first year playing DD and without practice I would be horrible. The more I practice and play the better I am becoming. So to each it own. Learning to be patient has helped tremendously

    so are u saying practice don't make u better at things? I sucked something fierce when I started playing dd in 17. Lots of batting practice on legend. Eventually it slows down.
    I'll still take a little bp before I hop on rs

    Just wait until anti-vacc people refuse the COVID vaccine and this becomes a permanent thing.

    Conspiracy theories can do real damage.

    Or some people just don't care. Funny how hard work still provides me a great life. Keep working that punctuation though. I'm sure it'll pay sooner or later.

    As if this being the dumbest thread on this forum wasn't enough, your "crusade" to warn about RNG is the most idiotic thing I've ever read.

    The only thing you should do with your "real scoop" is flush it down the toilet.
