I never meant it in that way. I meant that, to the normal cuber, any cube larger than 7x7x7 would just take too long to complete. Just look at the Gigaminx and the market that bought that. It was just too expensive for the average person to afford and, other than size, there was no real reason to buy it. It solved like a Megaminx, but longer.

You seem to be too stupid to understand the concept of different words having different meanings, so let me break it down for you.

Some people enjoy solving big cubes. I don't CARE if you don't; I do. And it's not so I can go "HA HA I AM FASTER", I enjoy it because I literally FIND IT FUN. Just because you don't doesn't give you the right to be mean to people who do. I'm not a ****ing snob or elitist or whatever just because I enjoy something. Stop insulting me. If you don't like solving large puzzles, just don't do it! I don't give a **** if you don't buy a 7x7 or a 9x9 or a gigaminx. Really, I don't. But don't ****ing insult the people who enjoy them.

Same goes to you, Odder. I used to think you were worth being friends with. Glad to finally know the truth.

I think this is a big stick with a lot of ends, and we all think the others have the wrong end of it.

Never did I call you a snob. I called people who are good at Big Cubes Elitists. My understanding of an Elitist is someone who is elite (i.e very, vey good) at something. I never intended to be mean or offensive to big-cubers and if I came across as such I apologise. In my eyes it was somewhat of a compliment to be called elite. I am personally astounded by people's ability to complete a 7x7x7 in less than 10 minutes, let alone three. My record is 15 minutes.

The point I was trying to make was that very-big cubes have a tiny, tiny market. By producing them you are aiming your sales at a section of the market that 1: Is very good at cubes and 2: Has the money. I for one have the ability (as the technical knowledge needed to solve a big-cube ends at 7x7x7) but no money so I am removed from that market, as are many of the members of this forum. Add that to the fact that the cubes will be technically no more difficult to solve than the 7x7x7 any larger cubes have completely lost their appeal to me. The 7x7x7 was almost too much of a stretch for my funds by itself.

Sorry for any confusion.
 
The main source of confusion for me is your reasoning. I don't see how anyone could advocate not advocate the production of new puzzles. Does it damage you in any way? NO. Will it hurt anyone? NO. The producer may lose gobs of money, but that is his/her decision. Likewise for the people who choose to purchase this puzzle.

My point is that I don't see any point for bigger cubes. They offer no new challenge and will cost a bucket. I'm not saying they shouldn't be made,as that would never be my decision. I am saying I don't see why they are being made. I see no point. That is my opinion.

That is most certainly not the case.

Also, big cubes do offer a challenge. Sure they may not take any more brain power to solve than their predecessors, but it's always fun to try to get fast at puzzles.
 
i want one, and i am willing to save up for one, though it will be excruciatingly painful for me to sandwich it. I don't care how long it takes, but I like the satisfaction during the solving process. I just want to sandwich it. :3
 
Here is the issue:

KO's are not good to buy, as they take money away from the original inventor

BUT, the KO companies are catering to our wishes, unlike the original inventors. For example, I am fairly certain that the reason for mini QJ's was the fact that many people were saying the regular mefferts/QJ 4x4's were too big. So, they made a small one. I know that QJ probably makes mefferts 4x4's as well, but I am just using it as an example.

IF the original inventors and producers made the puzzles we want, KO's would be a thing of the past. I don't see a v-9 coming anytime soon, or any new v-cube for that matter. For that reason, I see myself buying some of these if v-cubes don't step up soon, instead of making stupid sticker variations on already existing puzzles.

It seems I mixed up my words. I always took being elite to be a good thing.

I used the wrong word. *throws hands in air* I REPENT!
 
V-Cubes doesn't have nearly enough money to start releasing higher order cubes, and when people buy KOs, they do 3 things: They don't support the inventor, they discourage the inventor, and they give the KO companies more money to copy cubes. Puzzle designers such as Katsuhiko Okamoto have decided to stop making new ideas, simply because they will be copied (see here). Thanks to the people buying KOs and supporting the copiers, we may never see some ideas that inventors had. :mad:

The point is, don't complain about no new puzzles being released if you are buying KOs!

Being elite is a good thing. Being an elitist is not. I don't think any more clarification needs to occur.

your system of your computer didn't install Chinese language pack. In some countries such as USA and UK, the system includes Chinese lang pack(I just know many of my friends in these two countries can read Chinese in their local computers.) However in some countries there are not Chinese lang pack (such as Ireland, the country I'm studying in now:( So I have to carry my own laptop everywhere. )

Anyway, As far as I know, if you use Firefox instead of IE, you can see those words (maybe you still doesn't know the meaning :( ).

ps: 9*9 is not mass-produced yet. They are just the presents to those cubers who designed the package for YJ's new products.
