So uh.... i'm platinum now...

31.7k Mage2IsTriggered  2.4 years ago

I'd just like to ask: how? I mean, i'm the definition of mediocre, there are people way better than me that are way lower. Personally, i don't believe i deserve this.

When i noticed i was close (which yeah, i had to notice, i never look at the points lmao), i thought about making a post as a "Where i came from" thing, but honestly, it just boils down to "My first build was shit, my last one is great in my opinion".

I don't have much to say other than 25k is more than i ever thought i'd get to. I don't care about points, but i care about people getting the recognition they deserve, and i sure as hell don't deserve this, i'll be real (250 parts max shouldn't be that high up lmao). I'm a dude, making average stuff from a budget-ish phone, i can't make complex things, i don't know FT programming, and yet here i am, with a 3.3 year old account

Anyways, uh, thanks everyone for being awesome! The fact some of you enjoy my stuff makes me really happy and i couldn't be more thankful! I feel like i don't deserve this, but yeah, thank a hell of a lot!

    @goboygo1 I mean the motivation to build loosens since you went past 25k. Amazing fest but it has its bad sides.

    Since you gave clarity on that, I think it's more of a ideal problem than anything. Don't think too much of what you just made, it can't get any worse than what you already made. You also need to take a break, all that staring is going to burn your eyeholes.

    If that’s the case then I’d be platinum, it’s more complicated sadly

    @asteroidbook345 definitely how it was in my case between my first few thousand 😂. About a post a week and they were all mediocre at best, honestly the builds are like that now lol

    @ALTMTR
    Im not sure i understand your question, But its just that i start with the overall shape, Which is the most interesting part to me and then really slow down when it comes to adding detail/interior. The build also looks less cool after a few hours of staring at it.

    Well people much worse than you have a higher point count anyways (such as me, my build quality sucks), so I don't see the point in you not deserving it.

    @ALTMTR Yeah you still spam builds, it's just a matter of the rate at which you spam. By the time people hit platinum they usually have many many pages of builds and forums

    @asteroidbook345 Not everyone but some do. Do you see how much dedication some people put into making their builds?

    -1:1 replicas
    -Ultra Detailed, down to the rivets kinds
    -Incredibly Large Behemoths
    -That one blocky corsair

    @goboygo1 Yeah, it's really about the amount of builds you put out, it's a given. Plus you also need some well designed stuff to garner at least 100 upvotes or a consistent 20 upvote in a few weeks (and a beefy setup if you are willing pull that kind of sh#t)

    Nobody deserves platinum we just get it because we spam builds for a long enough time and people kind of like them

    Points aren't just about quality,
    (I've seen way worse from plats, btw, Yours are pretty clean)
    Its about how much you post. I've just been sitting at 27k for over a year because i can't finish anything, I have a dozen high quality builds i can't finish.
    p.s. Congrats!
