Bootleggers Heroes Broken

It is a question that at some point or another will be on each player’s lips. Who is the best player that has ever played Bootleggers? You could go on the forums and ask there, but it’s unlikely that you’ll get a straight answer. So you’re left wondering, what makes a good player? Let’s Discuss.

Some believe that deep pockets make a person a great player,. Sure if you have a lot of money and a MasterCard’s ransom in points, then you can achieve a lot in the game. This can only happen though if the player actually knows what to do with the money - a wasteful player can’t possibly be as good as a player who is careful with his money, right?

Maybe a good player has skills on Image Making programs and has managed to acquire themselves a reputation and a little bit of money as a result. Or does the more infamous player do it for you? Some might consider infamy to overrule any amount of hard work and trust. One could also say a player is a good player because of their personality, or share the same goals as other like-minded players.

The answer to this question is there really isn’t a way of proving who is the best ever player on Bootleggers. The fact that we all have different opinions makes it hard to get a concrete answer. Some players if asked, may just reel out a list of their closest friends or associates and not base any decision on skill. If a player is in a crew, then they may jump out and say their crew boss is the best player.

Several players out there have excellent qualities such as Leadership, Trust, Strength and Unbelievable Wealth, each having their own weight and value to each player. For example, one player might value loyalty before everything else while others may just be out for the money.

The best players out there in your opinion may be a traitor, cheater or arrogant fool to another player. Sure, we all have the players we look up to, the players we love and the players we love to hate but how easy is it to find a player who is loved by absolutely all of the Bootleggers community? Not every player has the same hero or best friend so rather than try and find a best player for all of Bootleggers to admire, focus on who you look up to and nobody else. Diversity and difference of opinions is what makes this game as fun and competitive as it is, so let’s keep it up.
