Just a question. . .

[viion]

It was a pretty dumb idea imo. How does getting a bunch of likes make one person better than another? There's just too many way people can exploit this, including making multiple accounts to like your own posts.

Dont you need a valid XIV account to post, so you cant like unless you are logged in and have an account, who is going to pay 10bux just to get a like? thats 100bux for 10 likes XD

Also if its post count, then trolls get medals, posts saying "lols /10char" get medals, much worse imo.

I know it's crazy, but some people would. It's definitely better than post count, I agree. But even without having multiple account people can just make polls to get a lot of likes.

Nice lol. That's almost as much as I got for the thread about my aetherial gate guide, and that was actually helpful to the community. Bowen's got about 3x as much from his "Gobbue mounts" thread now. It's funny how people eat that crap up XD

I was hoping the medal was going to change into subligar... but it didn't /disappointed

Never know, they're probably waiting for the right moment to do it for you.

Lol I thought you'd storm into the thread b/c I used your name as an example earlier, but....

<--throws a new subligar at Reinheart and runs away >_>

// jumps up grabs the new subligar and while still in the air takes the old one off and puts new one

/thank you

Don't think post count is the only factor. For example, TheVedis has more posts than Reinheart (two ppl who post on these forums often, in case you think I'm pullin' names out of my inventory), but Reinheart has 5 gold medals and TheVedis has only 4 (as of the typing of this post).

I thought it was related to how many 'likes' accumulated total out of all your posts, plus post count. That was just a guess, while I have no idea if it is or not the fact.

Edit: thanks for the person who linked to the forum functions threads.

Oh, people are still posting in this thread?

Why was I not informed earlier?
