When an accomplishment is completed by 2 people/bases/whatever, the method of how the accomplishment is achieved can be used to differentiate who had a harder time of achieving it.
You, yourself, have stated as such with your car buying example.
As for the "patience" not counting for anything.... I offer you the challenge of taking your current base, taking it to champs, and making a TH6 and getting it to champs.
You might call it "easy" to snipe your way to champs. Personally I think the sheer amount of patience to keep Nexting to be impressive.
I'm sure you're going to say something about ToS, multiple accounts, blah, blah, blah now...
And I'm sure you're the kind of person who enjoys being "technically" right. (The best kind of "right").
But realistically, SC doesn't care about multiple accounts.
From your posts here, you seem to be the kind of person that is never impressed....
Can you give me an example what IS impressive to you?





(exactly how i feel when i see those "look at me, im a th7 in champs" threads)
