Default Re: Fundamental problem with Skill Tokens

Although I agree that it is frustrating to not be able to play a song you really
want to play but the point of skill tokens is to get a reward for being
skilled. If you really want to play it and you don't care about this system then you can
ask the simfile artist for it (not extremely likely that you'll get it but you can
try).

I don't think it's fair to compare how many people unlocked this token to how
many people are on the site (a better comparison would be how many
actually play). Of the ~1.2 million, how many play 5+ hours a week?
I'm sure with all of the statistics that are now available it
would be easy to tell whether a skill requirement is only available to the
top echelon or not.

I admit, there are some tokens I wish I could get but I'm going to keep on
trying until I do (that is, if I ever play again), but I don't regret not being able
to unlock some of these songs, I hadn't earned it.

I don't know about picking and choosing a song to unlock, that gives the
reqs little meaning. Maybe if it would let you play a song of your choice
just once (like a boss song).

However, I like skill tokens the way they are.
