Title: Is Stock dying?
Post by: Redalert on May 03, 2019, 10:25:21 AM
This may seem unnecassary, but I would like some answers.

   I don't know exactly why, but I appear to be the only member, along with RedAce that plays Unrealistic Stock nowadays.

While I see Stock dying, i see IRL getting stronger, which is good, but I'd like to see Stock become great again.

...so why is Stock becoming less popular?

It's not dying, it's long dead. The only meta that anyone is interested in nowadays is IRL.

Everything that can be done for the stock meta has been done. All techniques and viable bot types have been discovered, only to be completely invalidated by Hax Mode.

Yeah, what Pwn said. I gave up posting comments in showcases as they often would just be make it more like "X-more-optimised-version".

meta reached its apex a long time ago, and the majority of the community do not see an appeal in what makes stock great due to personal tastes, a potential lack of experience, and/or devaluation from haxmode/ra2cf

What the past three have said.  As much as I can try to even do anything,  I feel I have reached a peak myself and I feel building in stock just isn't fun anymore.  Even stock tournaments aren't gaining much traction or interest which is doubly depressing for it.  As much as I tried to get back into it, I feel I'm pretty much just ready to retire on the whole deal of it all once I complete RMP2.

What the past four have said. Stock is no longer fun and people now days play IRL, Even myself had retired stock building immediately and abandoned WeNAI.

Wow, so I guess I'm the only current Stock builder.
I still find it fun, but I think it died this year, because the year I joined, it was popular.

It's been dead for a bit, now you are the last one to realize it

I still find thrill in playing it, so If there's anyone's stock showcase you need to keep, it's mine.

I still enjoy building unrealistic.

There's nothing wrong partying like we're in the Bush years, maybe you'll even get a person or two to try for a bit.

Like RedAce, the guy who apparently stomps me in BOTM with Stock vehicles instead of bots.

Yeah, as in BOTM, "Bus terminates unrealistic bots."

You do it, and record it as well, as well as using a bot you AId by yourself
