I'm not on the PP itself. I'm mainly an outsider who supports the PP and the website as a whole. And the reason why I haven't joined the PP is because I don't want to. I'm proud of what I've accomplished as a Mario Kart player. I don't need numbers and a rank position to tell me that.
I understand
I don't.
How does the fact that you're proud of yourself prevents you from joining the PP, at least for the accuracy of the rankings? You also seem to be saying that players who joined the PP are just swaggering people who want to spread what they've accomplished, which is pretty dumb if so.
Sorry if I seem a bit aggressive, I'm just curious.
What part of "I support the PP" do you not get? The PP connects the community together, and gives another motivation for the players to strive for the best. I do not get this satisfaction on the latter. I TT because I like playing the game in its purest form, which is to simply optimize my records within the game. When I improved BC, it was magic to me. Seeing 1:58.068 on the top right part of the screen, I truly felt I accomplished what I deemed an impossibility. However, submitting that very same time to the PP, or seeing that same time added to the WR history site, does not nearly capture that same magic. That's just an example of why any system outside of the game is not as important to me. Hence why I do not want to join, because in my mind, my result within the game has already given what I want out of playing it. But does that mean I downplay any player who are apart of something beyond what the game offers? Do I care that other people care about their ranking and AF, using that as another sense of accomplishment? No, of course not. Otherwise I wouldn't be supporting the PP would I?
Being a top player should not automatically dictate that you be apart of the PP. If the motto is that for you to show your support of the PP, you must join it to "make it as accurate as possible," and all other means of showing support are obsolete, then I am only further convinced not to join. I know that's not actually the motto, but you seem to believe that.
