At least starist players cant call you a “retarded red star” anymore

I dont actually understand the stigma against pub. It’s pretty fast and usually the RLs aren’t retarded

Well pub used to be a lot slower than the other discords. They had rampant 0/8 chars with little gear and exclusively did full clears. MCH, SBC, and Lost Boys would adopt skipping oryx and then golem rooms months before pub did. Even now, some pub rls are hesitant to skip even oryx rooms. It’s much better now though, with semi-consistent Cru skips and regular runs. They even get a sub-10 run daily-ish.

Yeah I remember when 0/8s were allowed but it still didn’t seem that bad. Saw a lot of posts about bad RLs on reddit and stuff but I never really experienced that. Most of my RLs were pretty competent. There was that one run with like a crus basically every room that still gives me PTSD, but what can u do about something unlucky like that (It turned our void into a cult with ~11 people and I died lmao)

Edit: Clearing also gives fame so

Well you actually get more fame from faster runs, as 80% of the fame from a void run comes from mbc/void.

I mean, more fame or more fame per second? I don’t think the fps dropoff would be so high as to completely eliminate clearing. (I’m just totally speculating on this btw, I’m pretty sure some runs can generate like 20 fps but I doubt it’s significant enough usually to completely disregard clearing)
