God, I saw so many people getting really pissed off about not getting anything in the drawing. It was the same way with the Christmas vouchers. Someone in the Christmas vouchers thread even said, "OMG I GOT THIS EGG AND THIS EGG, WHY ME, O GOD WHY". I just want to smack people like that. They put something nice together for us, and even if you didn't get lucky, it was still nice of them to get it going in the first place.

I even saw people complaining about WHAT they got. "I got Present Drifloon. What the hell, this is what I picked in the exploration. Thanks a lot, guys. >_>" You have another parentless one, though. Maybe you'll be lucky and it'll be the opposite gender, or REALLY lucky and it'll be shiny. Ffffff. I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get anything from the drawing, but I hatched a lot of eggs yesterday while I was clicking for the entries. Good enough for me.

@Tobias: Yeah, I think it's mostly their computer/connection. My computer is kind of low-end and I'm on a router with a shared connection. xD Takes me all day to get a couple thousand, and there's no way in hell I'd be able to get 50k+ with what I have.

Some of these aren't really huge issues like they were in the past, but:

*People who beg me to click for them with their accounts. Seriously, it ain't gonna happen, and it's against the rules anyways. I put in the effort to get my somewhat consistent high clicking scores each day, and I've even put together how I do it - with a little help from various other users who've shared their tips and tricks on top of what I do. There's no other secret to how I click, and I have a pretty shitty connection myself; if you expect me to do your clicking for you and rack up achievements and other cool stuff you didn't work for, think again. On top of that, those who actually had the nerve to ask for my password whilst asking me to click for them... LMAO! What are you going to do? Get me 200 clicks in a week whilst I rack up 100,000 or more in return? Or are you planning to release my shit then grab it with your account? lulz... Seriously though, if you fit into this category, quit your bitching, read the guides thoroughly, and you'll be hitting 5-digit scores as well. I don't see why other people should do your work for you whilst you accumulate achievements and rewards for doing fuck all. If you want to do that shit, learn how to bot and get yourselves banned - us working for you falls in the same category, which is why it's against the rules in the first place.

People bitching over exploration difficulty. What? You want your legends to be hand-delivered by the staff on a diamond-studded golden platter for doing almost nothing? Hell, compared to the old event system we used to have, explorations are merely a step closer to that dream. At least when you embark on an exploration, you know your endeavors will pay off once you complete it, and a whole month or more is more than enough time to get one of these done! Getting a legend for your hard work > maybe getting a legend for your hard work. Furthermore, I see the term "10x faster than I am" a lot when it comes to bitching over how fast people can complete the explorations... so what? Us "fast people" take one or two days; you have a month, so 10 to 20 days means you'll still get it done, right? So quit your whining. Explorations have actually been made a hell of a lot easier now, with a lot of tasks only requiring a few hundred clicks if that. Again, look at a mass-clicking guide and you can attain those clicks in a matter of minutes! If you want to see what a difficult exploration really looks like, try "The Burning Desire" - arguably the most time-consuming exploration to ever exist. Not everything has to be easy, so consider yourselves lucky that the majority of these explorations actually are easy.

Randoms you've never seen before asking for breeds. Put yourselves in our shoes and think about whether you yourselves want to receive such PMs - the majority written about as legible as a dog belly-sliding over a keyboard then plonking its fat arse on the ! or ? keys for about 5 or 10 seconds. It takes an hour for pokémon to produce eggs, with the chance that a novelty egg might not appear. After obtaining said novelty egg, it takes a further 12 hours for it to be abandoned (why waste a Heart Scale?). Finally, you grabbing said novelty once it's been dropped is down to chance, and I doubt very many people want to waste their time dropping countless novelties for somebody they don't even know until they grab one. There are breeding groups in the GPX clubs sections; why don't you have a look around first before you go asking us to go out of our way to breed stuff for you?

The raffle. Ok, so this was more of a lulzy thing than anything, but... It's a game of luck, people, so stop being so expectant just because you got a high activity score yesterday. I got a decent score, but what I got was something I already had, yet I'm not bitching. I'm going to drop it later, so let's just say I got nothing for ranking in 16th at the end of the day. XD It was a bit of fun; a game of luck that gives everybody who participated a chance at something good. If you got nothing, be happy for those that did get something. They got their tickets in with their activity for the day, therefore they've earned the right to be in the draw for something awesome. Everyone has a chance at getting something or nothing, so why should you be any different?

Lag. ...But everyone has to deal with it, so I can't say much on this one. =P

I hate it when I'm in the Dream World and I see the generic egg sprite and I go to take it but a moving Pokemon comes and blocks it from my mouse. It happened to me twice today...

I haaaate that. Before the regular shelter was seaparated into egg and Pokemon sections, a Geodude blocked a Moltres egg from me.

I hate the moving Pokemon in general. They make my computer lag up sometimes.

The entitlement I seem to be seeing more of lately. There was at least one person in the Happy 2011 thread bitching about getting nothing from the raffle despite working so hard while the most they could have had was one entry (their highest activity score was around 3000 and that wasn't even from yesterday. Not to mention the whining in the Christmas presents thread about their free pokemon. Don't want it? Release it.




I absolutely hated that I had to waste a couple boxes for that achievement. It felt nice to drop them all at once though.




I have done this so many times, even just in the last few days.




I don't click them but sometimes I see a bit of color under a normal egg and try to figure out what it is... only to realize it's the background. >_>




I wouldn't enjoy anyone doing it. I don't make promises I don't think I can keep and I don't feel like dropping things around someone else's schedule. I always advise people to look from xx:27 to xx:30 if they want a rare egg since that's when most bred things end up in the shelter.




I don't understand people putting the effort into avoiding clicking someone back based on the amount of clicks they gave. For the most part I am clicking for me, not for other people. I get points, the pokemon in my walker gets leveled, and you may or may not click me back. I mean I like helping other people out with my clicking but if I didn't have something to gain from it, I probably wouldn't be doing it. Though I do click wild pokemon to help others, I hate those tasks enough and I know what a pain it can be when you have to rely on luck and other users to get something done.

If there are still people out there who can be bothered to avoid clicking one-clickers with the current system, then that is terribly immature. I thought everyone just did the open xxx number of Pokemon in tabs thing. To be honest, I couldn't tell you if anyone even HAS one-clicked me since this was implemented because I don't even look anymore. I'm really glad the berry recorder is gone, too, for all those anal people who checked EVERY INTERACTION so that they would ONLY click people who clicked the right berry for EVERY POKEMON. "O, I don't want to reward lazy people." And I don't want to reward people who go through so much trouble to avoid someone who did something for them. It's like getting a gift, and hating a person because they spent only $10 instead of $20.

Sorry, that was pretty much just a lengthier rant about the sense of entitlement so many people have these days that I mentioned in my first post... >_>

Don't be sorry, it wasn't like you just added words to make it look longer. You did add some things. Besides, my posts in this thread have been ginormous, yours was tiny in comparison. :P But I clearly have too much experience complaining on forums. >_>

I would think people would just click the open x amount links and buttons too but I still see journals and what not about not clicking back one clickers and apparently some people have gotten into trouble for making blacklists (I can't remember where I read that though). It confuses me because you have to put more effort into avoiding clicking someone than they probably did to one click you seeing as most one clicks these days were because they didn't finish the list and just stopped or they were clicking pokemon and eggs separately.

Huurp. A few things grind my gears

A) When people bitch that mass clickers get everything/have no life.
Actually, oh IDk they Do have lives. They just have time and the effort to actually click in this game. Why shouldnt they get more shinies, be high up on the stats and such. People need to learn to shut the frick up.

B) People that beg to get clicked. And i mean, sitting there on other forums going, "omg plz help my eggs! They need to hatch!! I want to know if its shiny!!!!" Like really. Im tired of yelling at them to stop and to get off their lazy butts

C) People that Pm me for novs/legendaries. Yes, I have a hoard of them, but I hatched them. So frick off. ima hoard them till i dont want them. And just because I have a lot, doesnt mean ill drop then at the drop of a dime for you.

I have totally never done that. Nope. Not once. *cough*blatantlie*cough*


Yeah...I'm getting pretty close to this point. The shiny hunt is gonna be fun.



IAWTC.


That one never fails to make my head hurt. I mean...how does someone think that's an acceptable request?



*nodnodnod* We need a DW version of the Safari Zone. And, yeah, there's the "Stop Pokemon from Moving" thing, but you have to click it every single time you refresh, and meanwhile you've gone and missed a shot at something because your computer froze for several seconds.



I am constantly amazed at the lengths people will go to over incredibly trivial things. "You gave me less than the maximum amount of maturity! I must now go through a disproportionate amount of trouble to make you pay!" Sad part is, I've met people like that in real life.



Really. How DARE this site reward people who put in more effort! *facepalm*

I knew I forgot something.

lulz. 10k takes an hour, give or take a few minutes, if you really want to click a lot, and fast, in a day. Just because they can't do it doesn't mean it's time-consuming for those of us that can find the time to pull it off with the utmost ease. XP

This. Especially in the Dream World, since when I go there to look for any new eggs, I tend to hit that key faster so I'll hit the restock right when it starts. Sometimes I would press it and the second after I would see a mystery egg, making me mad.

And regarding the "mass-clickers have no life" thing, that's just a far-off accusation. I only mass-click tons when I don't have to go anywhere or have nothing to do. I go to college and despite spending a lot of time on here, I also take time to study for exams, do homework, or work on a paper, and I have to admit, my GPA is pretty decent for someone who's active on here, but that's another story.

Just remember, guys, that on the other end of the spectrum of people saying "Mass clickers have no lives" are people who are saying "Because you can't mass click you suck terribly." I've gotten the latter before, and it's not fun. It's not my fault my computer's a piece of crap and we can't afford a new one right now because Dad got really sick.


Also, another thing that makes me growl -- when a Pokemon I pick up from the Safari Zone for an achievement or to evolve later has PKRS, thus locking it into my party when I DON'T WANT IT THERE.

This.
But this is also the reason I always keep Antidotes in my Inventory, I have 9 atm

And another thing: when I'm working on a feeding task in an exploration and it decides to be foggy for long periods of time. Uncontrollable yes, but annoying.

I learned this one the hard way- had an infected pokemon that I just wanted to get out of my party, and no antidotes to be seen.

Here's another- needing an item for an exploration, and having it not show up in the shop for several days. And it being nearly impossible to get in the BR, because everyone else is having the same problem.

Usually, I don't have much to complain about. I get frustrated at missing novelities, but the fact I usually obtain them in the end usually makes this just a rather minor annoyance.

However, I've been using my iPod touch for grabbing Pokémon from the shelter today. ((I've been refreshing the shelter as I mindless click on the computer)) My stupid fat fingers registered the wrong egg three times on the iPod...wasting 2/3 of my attempted grabs. The time I missed the future shupet earlier wasn't too bad, as the egg next to it was eevee and I'm grabbing them today. However, I really didn't want a yanma or tentacool earlier >_>

The only other things that are rather...minorly frustrating to me are...
- Waiting for an item I need from the shop for an exploration. ((Hello, Dusk Stone!))
- Majority of my clicking time is when I'm forced to use my laptop, and when I use that, my mobile broadband connection has been rather weak recently. Not able to do much those days I love you desktop computer <3

That's all I can think of, and the other things aren't even that annoying to me. Ahh well.

I learned this the hard way. I'm not hoarding ALL my items. I have (at minimum) 10 battle items and 5 stones (I'll bump it up to 10 at a later date) and also other items, just in case XD

Something that is a tad annoying for me is searching for your summon, but you see another or an egg you really want. I was so tempted to pick up a Heatran, but I passed it up to hunt for my Lugia. If I saw an unown...i'm not sure I would be able to resist XD

You know what's currently grinding my gears? My horrible luck with shinies. Right now, I'm trying to find a Shiny Male Pichu, though I'm thinking of giving up today, as I've already hatched 292 eggs and not one of them was shiny. During that time, I DID find a shiny, but it was a Manaphy. Also, my previous breeding couple bred a shiny...FOR SOMEONE ELSE!

I think once I reach 300 hatched eggs, I'm going to give up. Sorry, Mimi. No partner for you...

P.S: I also hate how people are somehow able to get multiple shinies in a row. It just accentuates my Negative Luck even more. Why can't I have good fortune like those guys?

sorry for late reply but

yes if i summoned it..
