I know this is nothing but whats rest? the experience? ok why not but it's not quantifiable! not visible at the first sight! I'm sorry Obli but we can support Hampa without ruin the belt system, you don't how much money I spend to get for example, my texture item or my flame. anyway think about someone who watch a video on YT, I watch a video on YT and I felt on a video of Sweex, largekilla and precisely You(+ some other people) and thats why I'm here. you imagine if someone fall on a video of JookerBb or WolfkidxD? who are 6th dan black and Master belt respectively. (btw like you) Wow what a very good first impression!
oh and link, sorry but the majority of toribash player are between 13 and 16 years old not more so I don't think they are working so hard, they just wait their pocket money...
I'm pretty sure I forgot something but even if you are not old I think you are able to realise the situation.
The objective of a game is to have fun.
and even that is debatable
For some that involves playing to increase your level until you unlock certain items. Others base their fun in different aspects of the game.
I understand that part of your fun might be comparing your belt to others'. Lots of games are centered on grinding and flaunting the items that you earned with hard work.
The current dynamics of Toribash can offer you good times on a lot of other premises though.
You're right on one part, though. Currently the experience in this game isn't quantifiable by any means, and not quite visible at first sight in-game. But like mwah said, Qi wouldn't be a completely valuable measurement of experience either, as it is merely games played and not games won.
As for the video example - videomakers don't pick the people who'll star on it based on their belt. They either picked them based on their replays or were paid to make a video of certain players, on most cases.
That means the guys you mentioned could have stared on a video, even if they didn't buy Qi. They just had to pay for it, and honestly I don't think anyone sees vetoing the ability to make videos of lower-tier players as an option.
Generally, videos that have better editing or better replays will get the most views, because they offer the best content.
Videos of people who aren't as good will exist anyway, regardless of Qi buying or not, but they'll most likely get less views.
