Why do the people who care so much about rank - Fight for rank? - Page 2

Troy88 · 07-08-2002, 03:40 AM

I used to care about my rank. The main reason is just to be well known, I guess. Playing video games is considered a nerdy hobby by a lot of people, but some of us take it very seriously, and want to be the best at our own personal favorite games. But it isn't enough to be the best at a game, now, is it? You want everyone else to know that you're the best at it, too. Well, that's my explanation, anyways. People just want to be known. They want to demonstrate their skill to everyone else that shares the same passion for video games that they do. I gave up trying to be #1 a long time ago, though. I've been playing long enough to know who the best (for the most part) in this game is, and beaten more than a few of them, so I don't feel like I've got anything to prove. Besides, with people like Nferno and d148 running around, it's almost impossible to get/stay at the top (unless you play all freakin' day).

The ranks, in a way, are a big part of this games' success, in my opinion. A lot of people wouldn't play half as much as they do if they weren't trying to get their rank up. I guess it's just the "competitive spirit." Why join a tournament? Same reasons, I think. Just for the challenge of it.

i think rank gives people no life..
people are so worried that there rank might change and fight all day

i like fighting vets and skilled fighters.

like last week best fight of the week

Lancer_PX and TMyApp vs Cyan and DXZero

it was a good fight and im actually having fun. but most ranked players dont have fun and just worry all the time about there rank.

People wanna be known, but in a good way(Not MacBeth way), so they try to stay high ranked!
