Re: Will The GDC Change Climb Points?!?

From this and the other thread that was created, I generally don't see that many teams "regretting" their decisions to climb. The general arguments for inflating level 3 climbs are: The feat is more than 3x difficult than a ten point hang, a more exciting end game, and an interesting twist to strategy. No where do I see the words "We regret..." Infact, a member of Team 4451 (with an incredible climber/dumper) just said quite the opposite. Now that doesn't mean 30 pt climbers would be utterly destroyed to find out that their OPR has a ten point increase coming its way.

The real question is do these arguments warrant a change? With the way the game has played out, my opinion is that they do not. But that doesn't matter because it is up to the GDC, not me nor any other Delphi poster. It has been this way since day one.

The point of my post is not to argue for/against a change. It is to ask for people to stop putting words into other teams mouth and insulting teams for choosing a certain strategy. Now if your team does regret the decision to climb, please share with others why so that they can learn from your decision. This is a learning experience, not a place to brag that you read your crystal ball better than others.
