Its an arbitrary line that is difficult to draw. We'll see what it gives now.
I do respect opinions, I really do, but we have to start somewhere.
Maybe next time we exclude top 100, maybe top 20. Let's all see what it gives.
As you value constructive criticism, it should be noted that multiple teams that have signed up at this point have previously been in the 2v2AT top 10, but hold this spot no longer due to the very volatile nature of the ladders. |
You should be fucking ashamed. First of all, Marcus has been doing this way before he was in mTw so don't even think about that. Secundo, there are not many mentors around, be gratefull that he actually cares. Third, if you took the effort to visit the webiste, I think it's pretty clear that his work isn't free. I think we can all agree on the fact that this man has done enough for Relic/CoH1/2. At least he gives the option for a refund when the customer isn't happy.
As if the man became rich from scamming poor noobs who wanted to improve in this game. Nope,nope,nope.
What the fuck man, get your facts straight.
I want to discuss things with you in a mature manner. If you are going to flame, twitch chat troll and/or disregard everything I have posted so far, there is no benefit for anyone.
If someone is willing to learn, good for him.
If someone is willing to pay for learning, good for him.
If someone is willing to teach, good for him.
If someone is willing to teach and want to have a beer/pizza for it, good for him.
This is all true for a scenario of 2 players, however, it gets more complicated when multiple players are both willing to pay and teach. It is save to assume this is the case in this particular example. At this point, it would benefit the players willing to learn and pay, when they have the option of choosing from different mentors at a central place, such as this website. Not only would the variety of mentors increase, the price will drop as well, as they will have to compete. This benefits the community as a whole.

The Riddler always has non-constructive comments.
Marcus is a great player and UNLIKE OTHERS willing to help others.
You should respect that instead of saying such stupid things.
The majority of players would be willing to help other players improve at an hourly rate of 20 euros. Respect you say? I respect all people, especially those that are willing to dedicate themselves to help others free of charge. |
I have trained people for free before but I just don't have enough time/motivations anymore to do that for free, plus I feel I can provide a much more professional service if I can get something in return.
I provide students my knowledge on the game as well as customized tactical maps with my build/capping orders, together with unique challenges to let them improve on both micro/macro departments. People interested just contact me, have a chat and discuss about the lessons work and if they are not interested they can simply not book lessons at all, it's a legal system and I don't see any reason for it to be even remotely considered a fraud.
Honestly I don't get why you find it sad: since COH1 we provide (and I'm sure we'll do the same in the future) a mentor/mentee program every year where we help new players learning the game. I think that it's a nice feature we have but on the other side I also think it has some limitations, like the fact the motivations of a mentor to teach new people are very limited/don't last long and the amount of work/knowledge put into that is limited by the fact it's a volounteer based work.
If you book lessons with me and you are not satisfied/you don't feel you are improving then you can get all your money back, it's an automated process on the website where you book the lessons. For me it's an honest and fair way to spend my own time and for this reason I posted it here since the guy was looking for a coach: basically I just gave him an extra option over those who might want to help him for free 
The guarantee of providing more than anything you could get for free is given by the fact that you can get all your money back if you are not satisfied/if you don't see improvements. For the rest the only thing I can use to gain people's trust is using my reputation and my role in the community and as player on both coh1 and coh2, which I hope is enough to let people realize I'm not trying to steal their money
Evidently my point was not clear. You do not have to convince me how good you are at CoH2 or how well you try to explain the concept of CoH2 to another player.
As a mTw member, it is odd you would provide lessons, whether they are on No Cure No Pay or No Refund basis, in return for an hourly fee. If the mentor/mentee program is not a wild success, because mentors expect financial rewards, at least be open about this so several mentors can compete in order to bring down the fee to a more reasonable figure.
Furthermore, it is hard to gain people's trust and build a solid reputation by going around the mentor/mentee program of this website and/or holding back information about caster remuneration. Appearing as a volunteer and a community altruist, while receiving financial compensation, is indeed considered as fraud.
P.S. in a hypothetical situation where I would sign up for a lesson: what would you be able to provide to me additionally, which you could not have provided if you had to do it free of charge?

I find it funny that you talk for 'most people'.
You talked with most people here at COH2.org?
Apart from the meme, which gave a lot of relevant weight to your statement, these kind of polls have shown that scheduling problems are an issue for players. Besides, common sense dictates this. |
|
I suggested in a subtle way that it is better to wait for a clear distinction between skill classes, before hosting a tournament such as this one. You would have noticed this, if you would have read my reply as a neutral reply instead of taking every comment in a negative way. |
Hey, I'm a COH2 coach with more than 50 hours of coaching:

If you are interested you can contact me on COH2.ORG via PM.
This has got to be one of the saddest things I have seen in a while. You are charging players for CoH2 "lessons" without any guarantee you can deliver more in comparison to CoH2 "self-study" and/or free of charge mentors on this very website. Even with the No Cure No Pay, this feels like a fraud.

Most people, including myself, don't participate in tournaments, because you need to schedule it at awkward times. I am surprised to see that was not part of the standard answers to the poll question. |

As an exception, I agree with Akosi. Different tournaments for different skill levels is very common, but hard to define in CoH2. Next to that, the 2v2AT ladder positions are highly volatile, to the extent that there is absolutely no set top 10 or top 100. Although, the shapes of a given skill level will show over time. Personally, I prefer to watch high skilled players fight it out. |
However, the Mosin-Nagant M91/30 was by formal practice sighted in with the bayonet attached. Because of this, a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 without its Bayonet will fire to the left of intended targets due to the discrepancy of barrel harmonics with the bayonet attached versus detached, necessitating a re-zeroing if the user intends to fire the weapon without bayonet.
Perhaps dumb considering keeping bayonets mounted is extremely impractical, but that was the way the weapons were delivered.
Yes, I know the majority of the 91/30s is sighted with the bayonet, a WWI relic if you will, but at close range that accuracy difference isn't that much of a problem. At longer ranges it is better to adjust the sights than to attach the bayonet as this takes a lot of time and makes the 91/30 extremely long. |
