I am also not watching any of the royal stuff.
But I do have a different thought on the the current Raven and all future events.
What do you all think about for all tapper events of keeping the leaderboard prizes and position breakdowns hidden until the event runs it's course?
We currently have the level prizes showing but no leaderboard, but we do have the leaderboard symbol at the top. I think they have to be thinking about the possibility of doing the hidden leaderboard prizes.
If the interns did something like this how much would it affect your Tapper event play?
I didn’t even bother. At first I was like, “oh great! 5 gems! That’s worth the effort. But then learned how many I would have to tap in order to achieve simply that as a 2nd prize. I mean, that might’ve been easy for some people, but I’m not setting timers and such. It’s no longer a game at that point. It’s work.
However, there were a few leaderboard events that I did sort of tried my hardest at, as I was 1st or 2nd place! I even screen captured myself because I was so proud of such an achievement. Only saw 25 people on the board, and no astronomical scores, so it had to regionalized or something.
Yet another shining example of something I will never attend. Someone in another part of the forums had posted about this year's D23 Expo, and the fantastic VIP package available for something like $1,300. So many people saying what an amazing value it was for the money. Amazing what sheep we have become as a society.
But you don’t understand. It’s the trademark Disney Magic. The pixie dust that your dealer stopped carrying. You know, the one where you spend and insane amount of money, to rope drop a convention center that can’t handle it, to wait in a line for 3 HOURS or more with no fastpass just for the opportunity to shop for exclusive overpriced Disney merchandise, and you buy up all the quantities allowable so that you can immediately sell them on eBay to pay for your trip to be there.
Maybe you can vlog about, because like gamer commentaries, this is an area that YouTube desperately needs content for. You can maybe score some subscribers with the belief that they’ll get more exclusive behind the scenes content. You can even tell yourself that you’re a hero because some forum poster like myself would otherwise not get this info, or even get to pretend we were there had it not been for their one video (and 300 others).
But really, it’s about community. Being there with thousands of other like minded people who share the same interests as you. It’s the only place you can get away with wearing a Donald Duck hat without having the soccer moms at your daughters school make fun of you. You can basically pretend that these are your people, your friends, your family. ...What? Don’t talk to me! Stranger danger! Stranger danger! I mean, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, yea!
