Don’t take it wrong. This happens in a lot of suggestion threads, where it takes on a life of its own and morphs into something completely different. Feel free to make all the suggestions you can come up with!

Devs should just eliminate all procs 🤭🤭🤭

I’m thinking an intervention is needed here. Devs, please lock OP out of creating any new alts until he/she has at least 3 50s.

OP is gonna have to do something different, if he/she wants a different outcome. Spending 2 hours a week on the level 41 is one solution. Running one TF after another and selling the merits is another. Creating another alt is not.

41 is high enough to get on an ITF (KM 4x8) - that’s roughly 10mill influence each run. Not counting any drops you pick up along the way. Run it a couple times a week and you’ll have enough to buy what you need. Thats how I originally started funding my toons.

Ahh, thanks. just forget everything I said. it was just a bad fever dream…or my account was hacked by Giant Monster Googlymoogly

Team teleport has no value?!? I’m assuming you’re talking Assemble The Team power. Seems to be used on every Moonfire, Manticore, Synapse, and a good chunk of Posi 2 TFs (off the top of my head). That seems valuable to me.

Again with the patrol xp???? I would swear you promised to stop

Nice looking toon!

fixed it for ya

Coming from someone who refuses to believe that a critic could/would lie 🤭 If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were a movie critic

In my book, making up a fake critic to write fake reviews is worse, but whatever. You live in your world and I’ll live in mine.

The point was that critics have lied. Someone, maybe not you unequivocally denied that it has ever happened. 2 instances were shown. At no time did I say ALL critics lie. Nor did I ever say ALL critics were paid off. My contention is that it has happened. So if anyone is making a sweeping generalized statement, it’s you. Now how about you take your own advice, and DO BETTER

How would they involve a reputable critic when Sony made up a fake critic??????? You asked for instances. One was provided. You wanted another involving a major studio - you got that. Accept or deny. That’s your choice.

You’re right. Studios are honest. Critics are infallible. We are all just conspiracy theorists. Thanks for pointing out the error of our ways. 🙄🙄🙄

What Critical Drinker fans? I’ve personally never watched one of his videos. I think one person referenced him, and you’ve somehow equated that to you defending the Alamo against hoards of invaders. We’ve gone through this in multiple threads, and I still for the life of me cannot figure out why it bothers you so much when someone talks about having concerns - real or imaginary. Why do you feel the need to swoop in and rescue the rest of the forum from someone posting their concerns? They will eventually be proven correct or incorrect, so why not let it play out?

So, you think some of the publications you listed have no issues with distorting the truth, or outright lying and yet draw the line when it come to movie reviews???? Thats your stance? “We’ll sign off on umpteen fake stories from Jayson Blair, but by god our movie reviews better be real!!!” 🤭🤭🤭 Most likely movie reviews are such a non story, that no one cares enough to look into them. However, I will leave you with this excerpt from a leaked email from Entertainment Weekly…just to illustrate what their own employees think of their movie reviews…. “But people are eventually going to tune out if articles are poorly written. The out of context clickbait titles, posting out of context quotes… and film reviews that sound like paid-for PR pieces from studios completely make a joke of our magazine and entertainment journalism.”

Oh, so naive.

Yes, and where there’s smoke - there’s fire. Theres also the old adage that you are never caught the first time. But the point was to show that yes, it can and has happened. The second article was to just show how “sneaky” they can be with reviews - which I sort of alluded to before the link. I do think only a small portion of a movies audience actually decides based on reviews. I personally only read them after I’ve seen a movie, just to see what others think and to see if it aligns with my thought.

It’s just rumors being thrown about. But Superman in cuffs was not the big complaint. As I said in the FF thread - I don’t know if any are real or not, and will wait until the movie comes out to decide.

Movies can be political without being preachy. That’s what I want.

Only posting the first link because some people seem astounded to hear that their could ever be any type of suspicious reviews. https://www.ign.com/articles/rotten-tomatoes-under-fire-after-pr-firms-scheme-to-pay-critics-for-positive-reviews-uncovered Older article, but I think a lot more telling of how reviews work - and is still a disservice to readers https://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/research/why-critics-dont-pan-blockbusters-least-not-right-away

For the record, I don’t believe that’s the political issue they are referring too.
