Please restrict carry runs

[Jojoya]

Society puts way too much value on what people possess over what they do. That's why so many are more interested in going the easy route and buying things to impress others than putting in fair effort to earn those things on their own.

And let's face it - it gives those who are capable an easy source of income as they sell carries to those who aren't capable. That's pretty much a foundation of economic systems - those who can do something selling their goods and services to those who can't or don't want to take the time to do it.

Selling carries isn't going to go away. All you can do is decide to take more interest in what you witness people doing than what they have.

Being able to purchase a clear devalues the accomplishment.

It only devalues it if you're doing it to impress others over doing it for personal satisfaction at beating a challenge through your own effort. Things I've achieved in game still mean something to me because I know the effort I put in even if others have achieved those things through carries/botting/etc.

Is it a bit annoying to be accused of botting myself because I fairly earned an achievement title associated with botting (Saint of the Firmament)? Sure, but I wasn't doing it to impress others. I went after the title to satisfy myself I could fairly earn it through my own effort.

If someone wants to jump to the conclusion I must have botted to get it, that's their problem. I know the truth so I could care less what they think as long as they don't start harassing me with false accusations.

I disagree. I've never even attempted Ultimate but I always respect and admire those that have cleared it. But with things like clear-selling I never know if they actually did it or just bought it. It's pathetic, you can't convince me that it's not XD

So judge them by what they do. If you're in any sort of combat content with them, you can get a general idea of how skilled they are. Those who bought their carries will stick out like a sore thumb.
