As for Nepenthez discussion on the previous page, I believe he is his own problem. He is obviously a very good player. I mean my skill rating of 18xx is nothing on his 2200 or so, but he seems to almost get locked into just trying the De Bruyne finesse shots, even though his normal dribbling at people playstyle seems to do the job on most occasions.
His other problem is his First Owner account got way too good, too fast and people are ragging on him for it. So much so I believe he just delete the club to start over.
You’re right, but I’d extrapolate that out to the broader ‘engaged’ community. Those who spend time on the visa and forums tend to be obsessed by wins and rewards - I am, in fairness. That’s ok, to a degree. I think what’s damaging is when people let that entirely dominate their play style. For me, it’s a positive, forcing me to sometimes switch up my style and cross the ball a bit (ugh) or use long lobbed through balls (ugh), but for others (about 50%+ in my experience) it involves exploiting broken mechanics and high percentage play, like the top of the box finesse or la croquetta-ing all the way to the box, etc
