it goes back to the initial purpose/point of the song/level.... it isn't MEANT to be played. at all. it was a JOKE. for april fools 2007. then, about a month later, we implemented the 1st token... and then we had the 2nd FFR tournament... and it just kinda made sense to reward people with vROFL as a special prize. and that's how it was borne.
the recent stuff with the GWCs is just because it seems kinda appropriate, and it's a good incentive for users to actually participate in them.
but, yea. to do a system whereby anyone COULD obtain vROFL would defeat the purpose and awe of the token. even after 3 tournaments (and 2 GWCs) we barely have over 100 users with vROFL.
apart from making an absolutely stupidly hard achievement or skill token req (which i wouldn't do), there isn't any token that is nearly as hard to obtain as vROFL.... nor could there ever be. i do plan on having a few really really hard achievement tokens, but i suspect 100 users will get them within a month, if not less. let alone 18 months.
Why you all want that vROFL so much? It's insane. I think it's current requirement for it is good enough. If you can't win a tournament, you aren't worth it, you wouldn't pass it anyway (actually most of you). Like Tass said, it's just a joke, why do you need it? And i don't think that luck should be involved to obtain this.
So anyways i was thinking, what if a single miss didn't stop your combo? Instead, your combo kept going until 2 consecutive misses were made. I think this would provide a more realistic ranking system, and eliminate a lot of mashing.
1. you get a token that most of ffr doesnt have.
2. its like almost the only song that you can practice your vibrating skills on.
3. you can whore it for credits and grandtotal.
-thats why i like it-
