The best argument would be to actually beat these BSB times, and the discussion
would be over, don't you think? Well, but what happens if two or three of these
times can't be beaten at all?
My type of argument for removing BSB times is a community one. Imagine,
someone gets WipEout on BD and becomes very good at Speed Lap but doesn't
know anything about BSB. At a given point, after he has found 'the' ideal
line or whatsoever, he may wonder why those guys in the top3 have a sudden
'increase' in their times of about three tenth of a second. He may later
realize that they had used a trick which can't be used any longer. I wouldn't
be very pleased to hear that. And it's pretty useless to hunt for a record
which isn't based on the same rules.
Look, my ZONE records are for real. I don't need any tricks. I can repeat and
improve my records any time. If I had used any tricks I would always vote to
remove the given record EVEN IF I THINK I CAN BEAT THE GIVEN RECORD
WITHOUT USING THE TRICK. That's what I call fairness.
Anyways, I hope SL will have a proper solution. Last but not least, I'm not
against BSB etc., it's cool to do such tricks.But if it comes to the
leaderboard then fairness should have the highest priority.
We don't need any evidence. It's simple; SL claims to have a high profile
Q&A process. If this is true, then they have to admit that a part of the
game (the leaderboard) isn't working as expected and that they are going to
fix it. That's it. And fixing the leaderboard isn't any rocket science.
I wanted to have this thread up before, but I just waited for Sony's
announcement of 'WipEout HD Fury Coming To Blu-ray'. Contrary to our
message-board each comment on the Playstation Blog is read by an official
Sony employee. And if someone makes a serious complain about a product he
bought from Sony (WipEout HD Fury in this case) then it's good business to
give an answer to it.
