cbchui allowed to sell lessons?

[00Sniper]

Cos he gets linked on the fan sites page and then on his home site, it lists the prices of his tutorage o.0 just wondering if that was legal and all =/  I personally dont have anything against it; I have nothing bad to say about people that spend money to learn mobiles more completely    

[eraddeus]

Why wouldn't it be legal?

[00Sniper]

not sure, I guess its not as bad as linking to ebay, but theyre promoting someone else's business, not their site.  I'm not sure how the outcome would be if gb-hq suddenly changed to a site that centered around making money...  anyways, Im just expecting some kind of erratic response from GIS =/

when money is involved with the internet, theres danger =-o

[00Sniper]

on a lighter note, has anybody taken his lessons?? are they worth it?  is he reallly a "level ten" armour, nak, raon, mage, trico and grub user?  just mastering like 2 of these at one time is a bit hard =/  I know cr0nik posted sumthin on testimonials over there, but which "package" would be most worth it, btw the site is http://www.ewebstudio.net/lord/

he's put a lot of effort into making tutorials and such.  there's a bunch of charts he has made and instructions on how to use them, as well as practice sessions.  i haven't taken any lessons... only played against him.  i believe he will try to teach the formulaic method first, then help them feel the shots quickly and accurately.

... and it's another resource available to gunbound players.  i'm not understanding you... i really don't see anything wrong with it.

rofl thats so lame

If you want to become good, practice kids!

[0o0o0o0]

no doubt it will be pretty good training. But does one really need it and pay for it? No doubt quite a few will. Some will say it's only a few bucks. So be it then.
What's the difference between selling items/accs on ebay and paying for gunbound lessons? Oh well..    

[happylight]

The difference is that when someone buy an account on ebay, and then afterwards the seller tries to change the password to take the account back. The buyer then complains to softnyx and creates lots of support nightmare for them. Softnyx could care less that you buy stuff on ebay, they just don't wanna deal with the extra problems that come with it.

Assuming cbchui doesn't just take your money and run away, it wouldn't give softnyx any problems.

i find that really funny for some reason. xD

from my guild members who already know people from lordsTM, i hear they've got a pretty good reputation, but i still find the idea of charging actual money really amusing.

and yeah, it's kinda like buying an account off ebay, except not as stupid of an idea. at least with cbchui you're actually learning something.

cr0nik: that's totally backward for me... i felt my shots first, but i don't think i could ever adapt to the methodical way of playing gb XD

i'm not against the idea (it doesn't give the people paying to learn any unfair advantages over me or anything o_O) but like 0o0o0o0 said... does one really need to be actually trained for the game? it's not like you're going to use gb skills irl or something...

*snort* imagine if you paid to have someone teach you cs. *imagines all the camping lessons*

[edit] speaking of "how good are the lessons" he has a "testimonials" link on that page that leads to a thread in their forum about the lessons.  

[Tooya]

alright, I read his testimonials, and really have to say the idea of having lessons would be tempting for some....

however, having lessons would also take away a LARGE chunk of the fun in gunbound, at least the fun that I have, and that I am sure many others share

My type of fun is getting better through your own playing, realizing your limits, and improving them yourself, without help, just your own solid time spent to get better

Lessons would drastically reduce the time spent on a players "improvement phase," but then, what would I do then?  I see stat hores out there who only like to win, who just play games against noobs, and just... well win, all they do is just play games to win them over and over, and honestly, that really doesnt seem like fun..

If your into the idea of getting ahead quickly and becoming a great player ahead of the gang, then by all means the tutorial is an amazing idea for you

As for me, and any people out there that share my belief (there is someone out there right? :huh: ) , I like to stick Gunbound to casual play, improving yourself comes along with casual play too, only it takes longer...  And it may sound rediculous to some, but I honestly dont mind losing, as long as I have fun, I am happy with that

Once again I am not trying to sway anyone toward or away from these tutorials, they do sound like an awesome idea, but it isn't something I would go for

00Sniper, you have been verbally warned for double posting.

[Ramza]

I do it for free, but only for Turtle. And I'm considered only a Level 8.5 player.

[Zim]

Whats all this level stuff?  

[creedo]

haha, the level thing's just a not-too-serious personal rating system someone came up with.  It works exactly like you probably would guess it does... on a scale of 1-10, player X is rated ....

Cbchui should indeed be called a level 10 armor, I've never seen his other mobiles but I've seen him play a few games and he doesn't miss.
I wouldn't pay for lessons though because I know there's a quality guide already available on the internet.  I also think it's MUCH harder to explain things in the tiny little 4-lines-long chat box at the top of the screen.  A good way to learn is to read a guide or post until you understand it, then in practice try to apply it with someone you know already understands it.  If you miss, you can explain what formula you tried to use, what wind adjustment, etc, then ask the person you're playing with why you missed.  They can point out flaws in the way you adjusted for wind or whatever.  

I guess the only problem with my theory of "just read a quality guide for free" is that you cannot always tell at a glance what's a good guide and what's just bullshit and fluff...

PS: I think the instructor must now be called LordCBChui... he sold his dragon account 'cbchui' recently.  My friend says it was for 400 usd.

There is a reason you are not allowed to sell items on Ebay, the pixels are softnyx's property, and they can do what ever they want with them, they are hosted on their server.  Selling knowledge is perfectly fine, thats hosted on the persons brain, and softnyx couldnt stop you.
