Here is my thing though: I grinded the last switch hitting event like crazy, because I wanted to prestige both Mantle and Chipper. I never asked anyone to throw me a pitch down the middle, I'm confident enough in my own ability to earn it the legitimate way.
Now, almost every game I started I got offered a friendly quit at the start, which sometimes I accepted and sometimes I didn't. On almost half the games I played, I received a message from my opponent asking for some sort of boosting, which I declined each and every time. I don't need free wins or free stats, I'll earn them.
Now here's my question to you: does this make me a bad apple in your opinion? Not trying to imply that you do, I'm genuinely curious. Because there is no "code" where people are meant to help each other boost stuff. I just wanna play the game. Some people I played got salty for declining to participate in this stuff and started plunking Mantle and Chipper, pause the game, step off the mound, all the good stuff. And for what? Because I just wanna play the game. So surely in their minds, I'm the bad apple for not willing to help. That's the world upside down in my opinion.
I enjoy sending a GG message or commenting on something after our game has ended even made a couple show friends who I talk to regularly. Had to turn off my messages this year because every freaking game someone is looking to make a deal. To all of you who think its ok to message for free hits, K's whatever it may be that day you have taken a little bit of the joy and fun away from a lot of us. I doubt I'm the only one that enjoyed a GG message or telling someone who was really good that they were really good. The prestige program was meant to reward you for being dedicated and kicking [censored] with certain players not turn the online show community into a bunch of people on street corners begging for stats
