Přijde mi to jako jedna velká úchylárna asi největší mínus na tom všem vidím, že uni logy z trailů bohužel často otravují ownery i v okolí, takže už neplatí pravidlo "ať si to každý hraje jak chce, je to jen jeho věc" pak už se ale spíš bavím, protože mi to přijde jako jedna velká groteska a přestávám nějak rozumět tomu, proč mají lidi potřebu až v takovém množství honit body na druhou stranu jsem rád, že si to spolu odbouchneme po svém, nebudu mít ty chuchvalce keší na mapě a získám fanouše na rozdávání...nebýt ale v ČR ani jeden trail... nechá mě to absolutně chladným
Asi nejvíce mě k tématu pwt pobavila vtipná představa, dost možná pravdivé budoucnosti, jak to bude tímhle tempem jednou vypadat...kačeři budou stát u výrobního pásu a budou logovat jako zběsilý brrrr
A tady názor na pwt a vůbec na to, kam gc směřuje od teamu 360, team amerických kačerů, kteří mimojiné vlastní tzv. O.C.B (Original Can of Beans) svatý grál geocachingu - plechovku fazolí, která byla první keší na světě ...napsáno v celkem lehké angličtině, takže si počte skoro každý...
Sad sad sad
Really just sad what the game of geocaching has become. It started out as such a great idea. In the beginning, finding a cache actually meant some kind of accomplishment. Nowadays it's all lamp posts, guardrails, 'power trails' and Walmart dumpsters. Tell me, what does anyone get from driving around town, wasting gas and time, to sign a fake name to a scrap piece of paper? There's no meaning to that at all.
My first cache was a 10-mile drive to a desert park, a mile hike to the base of a mountain and then a climb up from there. When I finally found it (full-sized ammo can, by the way, not that newbies would know anything about them) it was an accomplishment, a physical challenge I had completed. These days, most cachers are out of breath by the time they walk over to the mile marker at the side of the road to search for a 'nano'.
What's even more disappointing is the recent celebration of a 'geocacher' who claims to have found 100K+ caches, even while it's painfully obvious he has 'double finds' on many of them, no doubt many of them wouldn't stand up to scrutiny as a real find. Celebrating this kind of fakery is the pinnacle of silliness and reflective of how many other cachers will outright lie about their finds, all for the sake of 'winning'. Tell me, what did you win? The 'Waste of A Life Award'? Congratulations, you've spent thousands of dollars in gas and YEARS of your life driving around and finding small plastic film canisters with a rolled-up piece of paper inside. How laughable!
The game of geocaching has been driven into the ground all for the sake of the Almighty Dollar in the form of 'Premium Memberships'. As a business I applaud them, they've made millions from it, but at the cost of completely changing the game from its original intent. They realized early on that most Americans are ocd/numbers-obsessed and came up with the mindset they would allow everyone to 'play it their own way' so more cachers would pay-to-play. Thus, the proliferation of micros and other 'geo-trash' that we are drowning in today. If they turned off the numbers tomorrow, ask yourself, how many would still be playing?
