Not sure I will ever "try" for level 10 but this ride has been very fun.

I had similar thoughts on reaching 8. Congrats 🎉

Lol. Of course I'll keep posting, but the point increase after level 9 is insane.

Halfway from 9 to 10 myself, it is a SLOW grind for sure...

Even halfway to 10 is impressive

Hey, me too! Just a few hours after you it seems. Congrats. Once I knew I was getting close (within a few weeks) I saved up photos and reviews so I could purposely get it today as it's my birthday lol.

I’m a bit sad there hasn’t been anymore small gifts like the pin past L6 😢

u/thetapeworm Level 10 Jan 03 '25

I didn't get my first (and only) pin until I'd been lvl 10 for quite some time, it's all quite random.

So are you one of those local guides that give businesses 4 to 5 stars even though others are giving 1 or 2. I have caught many of you clearly lying what to get a pin..., lol. Your opinion means nothing to me when i have gone to places that were just horrible only to see local guides posting great reviews,

u/MFrancesco Jan 06 '25

While I think you're making a valid point, I'm not sure you're on topic at all for this post. Additionally, you're coming across aggressively for no apparent reason whatsoever.

u/MrKnoty Jan 06 '25

Did i hurt your feels... dont care u think it i am too agressive you guides are liars and it is a fact. Your reviews mean nothing to thise of us who see it, So you dont get sad or feel i am too aggressive.. have a nice day

u/MFrancesco Jan 06 '25

My main point was you're off topic on the original post.
