Hello dear community
I'm not here to update my LT, rather I'm here to announce I'm gonna take a break from game
I played this game for 10,5 years and more intensively since I started my adventure in Platinum server, with only 2 hiatus since then, totalizing 5 months without playing. Since I started a new job I've been playing much less, which I honestly consider healthier, but I cant even begin to describe the amusement this game has provided me over all these years.
But now I decided to take a break for good. And the reason I've decided so is pretty straightforward and can simply be resumed by this image
No, I'm not leaving the game cause I'm tired of throwing balls. I don't need to remind anyone I threw 9k sfbs on Chatot, right? But if you think that's the reason, that's ok too. It just means you're not smart enough for me to worry about your opinion.
The reason I'm leaving the game is because something is weird about it. It only takes basic statistics knowledge to realize that. I won't get into numbers, if anyone is curious about it they can reach me in Discord. But it just shouldn't take as many balls. There's pattern in randomness and thus I can deal with it, control it. But numbers tell me there's no pattern in Padventures' randomness and I can only find 3 possible explanations for that:
- Original data input was wrong (meaning staff disclosed wrong data such as catch charm bonus and some other)
- Things are not working properly, at least when it comes to catch
- My conceptions about statistics are flawed, tho I hardly believe it
The point is: whatever would be the case, that means everything I always believed about patterns in Padventures' randomness is no more. What leads me to what I'm feeling right now: I can't tell anymore if I'm actually making progress in my objectives, when it comes to catch. And I'm a pragmatic person. Padventures is the kind of game you need to intensively dedicate your hours to achieve your goals, specially when you've already accomplished so much like I did. I no longer have the amount of time I used to until some months ago, and the fact I can't tell anymore whether I'm progressing or not makes me wonder why try at all. Like I said, pragmatism.
I could still try to catch Aero and drop other cards by semi afking while doing other stuff like watching series/movies, studying or home officing like Ive been doing lately, but I also think I need a break to understand how much will I miss the game, or not (I could tell the people too but I dont expect to grow further from any of my friends due to retirement). The mere fact I'm writing all this illustrates how much this game amused me all this time and how I care about it.
Well, that's pretty much all, I suppose. I feel fullfilled cause I leave the game respected and acknowledged as one of the best players by staff and community in general and I feel like I contributed to the game not only with insights about the game itself but also making a healthier environment for people to play.
I leave the game being/having
- Top catch overall
- Top card collector overall
- Top Zygarde Cells collector overall
- Leader of one of the oldest and most respected guilds of Platinum server
- Countless friends or friendly acquaitances
- All time best player award (though I reaffirm this is the least "remarkable achievement" of this list xd)
I hope you guys have as much fun on this game as I had and I expect to meet you once again in the future. Until then, I urge you to do your best to make the game environment as healthy as it can be
Best regards,
