I'm trying to find the brag in the title... It literally says "YOU CAN..." not "I DID..." Happy New Year

A life coach? Imagine someone who needs confidence from strangers on the internet coaching your life? He should be ashamed of himself and he should show his "students" this thread to show what a joke the entire profession is. A "life coach" telling people to go to therapy is fucking hilarious. Guy contradicts himself in every single post. Hey man, let's just be happy that we aren't him.

Dude needs a serious talk with a therapist. Wtf?

Aiight boys... I'm done with this thread (at least for today). It's been a very nice reminder about human nature. Glad to have connected with SOME of you.

I'll continue to respond to dms. Let's allow the sour-pusses continue to lick their own fur 😏. But don't let anyone tell you something can't be done cause THEY stuck at it. 

And oh be careful about even typing the acronym NMS LOL... Cause the NMS police WILL come for you 😎. Even IF you were careful to point out how you are NOT NMS.

Lol.I NEVER called myself NMS. Go read the post again

You made a thread to announce that you're NMS (you're not) and then you come here acting like you're high and mighty. Whatever you do with MUT or the auction house or coins or whatever, it has been done already. You're not part of some secret group that is making all these coins and you're not special. Even if you knew something that 99% of MUT players don't know, you're not still not special. 
 

Stop trying to act like a tough guy because you claim to be NMS. Nobody cares what you do or who you are but you're definitely not NMS so stop pounding your chest like you are. Settle down.

I agree with you and NO ONE said we were heroes. If you read my OP, I mentioned there are MANY guys who are doing MUCH greater than me. 

The post was a response to the constant whining on mut.gg and Twitter/X about how the only way to be competitive is to spend racks on packs. So if that's not you  problem, just wave and move OR contribute to the discussion about how struggling NMS/LMS/AMS players can build coins ( I specifically invited this in my OP).

But for the love of all that is good, we don't need anymore whining about what the definition of NMS is and how anyone else is attention starved.

Aiight... we done here?

Sorry for the long cc: here, but phatlerror makes the single most important point in this whole “debate” (that’s been going on for years and won’t die): namely, that “accumulating millions of coins” is what is required to succeed in MUT. I’ve played for a decade-plus, and any other suggestion doesn’t jibe with my experience. In reality, there are three ways to get there:

1) Constant point buying. No playing or Auction House skill required. And little to discuss here.

2) Release point “buying”/acquisition. You get some benefits at launch through the version you purchase. For transparency‘s sake, I’m here as a PC EA Play Pro member, I get 500 points a month. 

3) True NMS. No points at release, and only minor training grants via BND cards. 
 

So what makes Types 2 or 3 “competitive”? Lemme suggest that a 2 million coin balance allows a player to cycle out program champions and maybe invest in an LTD or two (max) at a time. 
 

My argument is that the 4600 point start at release does create a 150-350k coin base (which helps!) but in itself doesn’t create “coin sustainability”.  Only three things to do:

1) Long term patience and program play (FPs, solos, etc) 

2) Skilled play via high value events (Champs, Gauntlet, Ranked, and this year, multiple Super Bowl wins in Seasons)

3) Auction House savvy (and some luck)

Now the REAL question is how you get from coin sustainability to coin wealth (5 million+)?  We know the answer: it’s the Auction House. 
 

Why the speech?  Because NMS/LMS coming to this site to crow about their success are all saying the same thing: “I either played or traded well.”  Eventually, unless you’re playing world class, you’re trading well. And NMSers played/traded hard for an extra 2-3 weeks. Congrats!  But you’re not unique and you’re not a hero.

Your wild guess is not just WRONG, it's flat out projecting 😏. Not everyone thinks like you buddy. I'm in my 40s (meaning I don't need validation from a mostly younger community of gamers) and life is GREAT.

I'm also a life-long trainer/teacher. I've taught in schools, being a life-coach, consultant and even a seminary lecturer 😎.  It's in my nature to try help people figure out things especially when I USED to struggle in the same area.

I kept reading posts on this site where SO many ppl cried about bot being able to build a decent team without spending their life-savings. So I figured I'd write a post with a provocative title and hopefully some of the people I want to.help would read it.

I also guessed they'd be some highly strung and tightly wound dudes like you who'd come for me but I could care less. 

Finally I included an invitation in my OP to others with even better results than me to chime in. But I guess it strokes my ego to read people who are even more adept at something than me right?

Your last paragraph seems like a self-reflection to me. Would you like me to recommend a good therapist to help you work through it? 🤔🤪😏

Of course. No clue why people do stuff like that
