Seems like it's designed to allow people to jump through a longer thread and hit the posts that are highly rated (and thus presumably good posts to read).

I'm 99% sure the account belongs to Phil but here is a psn account that looks to belong to a brit. I sent it a message about WWE Champions but he doesn't seem to be active.

Phil's PSN has always been darksydephil, I think. More likely is that this was someone who made the account to troll at some point.

As someone who occasionally whales on gacha (maybe 200 on FGO and a cool 100 on majsoul waifus over the years), Phil's terminology when he talks about gacha games is consistent with more than a casual fan.

Considering the hilariously low drop rates WWE games use, like other people have said he's dropping bank staying competitive. Its the reason I dont play pvp games, they suck you in trying to rank well and that always comes down to $$$.

Phil needs event wrestlers, but also all of them upgraded, you can't just stop when you finally get Hulk Hogan you gotta get tons of extra wrestlers and items to level hulk hogan. If the game works the way I think it does to rank in events you have to splash for extra refills on the timer bar, since you can't rank just waiting for your energy to refill.

I would guarantee this motherfucker has 1 tap pay set up and uses it liberally whenever the game asks him to. Those $4.99 refills add up fast.

Does anyone know if the game has limited/guaranteed pulls? Usually gacha have them where you pay some absurd price (FGO it's about $30) to get a guaranteed 5 star or equivalent. Something tells me WWE would be pricier just based on how miserly the gacha rates are.

some events have tokens/special currency you can earn to roll for wrestlers

some wrestlers require monthly subscriptions to even use

some are just straight "pay money for virtual currency to roll for different lootboxes"

you can buy specific wrestlers during special promotions but 9 times out of 10 they are nowhere near meta

talking about meta, they just release crit chance/damage and dodge chance, so there's a whole new reason to grind to be the very best

I now have visions of DSP and Brett "The Hitman" Hart in a bara-type situation so now so do you.

Suffer and die.

I'd rather see Phil die like Owen TBQH.

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

You know, it occurs to me that for the amount of money Phil spent on JPEGs of wrestlers, he could've met the actual wrestlers many times over, and come away with their personally autographed sweaty underwear.
He could probably even buy dates with pro wrestlers if he'd settle for one that's not a top-tier celebrity.

He could have bought himself front row centre seats to pretty much every PPV. Would have at least made a chance from having to look at that dick in the green face t-shirt.

Is it possible to see whether his activity changes based on his days 'off'?

I believe @tzgnilki noted much more activity on his day off, with substantially more at like 1-2 am, right?

I guess I should have worded my post different. I'm 99% sure that the WWE account is Phil but I was giving an example of someone else using his twitter handle. Meaning it's slightly possible the wwe account could be someone else.

his most recent day off was the only time I tracked the leader boards, gonna have to wait for more

 

[Smooth Calculator]

Phill will riding trains with the rest of the hobos but goddamn it he will be the top WWE Champions player on the rails!

Phil could have fucked Sunny a few hundred times.

If the bankruptcy is true, I imagine the next couple days off will be spent in a lawyers office.

"There is a major problem with gaming and the human condition if we think that dropping money into an endless black hole is better than buying a game that's a significant work of art.... people that systematically dump a ridiculous amount of money into it, they got something wrong up here, they are addicted to it, they need help to realise what they are doing is a waste of their time and there's many other gameplay experiences out there that are better... That doesn't mean spend your life fucking savings on the game... This is insane to me, you know what I mean, like I would never drop that much money into a game like that, thats just nuts but people are doing it... that's just fucking crazy to me dude *snort*"

He said this in August 2019 so the King of Hypocrisy probably fired up WWE Moneypit as soon as his stream was over

Every time Phil has talked about mobile games in the past 5 years, he warns people what a money sink they are. Phil knows, but he can't control himself at all. His mind is an interesting study.

Can see this as a way to shield himself from being accused of this mobile addiction if he talks about how bad it is, so he would never do such thing.
Good find.

Can apply this to a lot of things he's got on his soapbox about.

Actually, there is a very simple reason why Phil cannot ever attend any WWE event in real life. He might run into a certain detractor...
