Would I rather be over an exalt richer or take a hit on a meaningless overly abused karma system? There's no way a few votes would have enough effect to bother that player at all.

Look at the sheer length of this thread. Look at the tone, all the way from beginning to end. Think about the stickies that were so necessary at the beginning of OB to redirect people here, and the thread spam that precipitated them.

Now take a moment and really ponder how the karma system would work. Imagine all those voices with voting power. Close your eyes and put your predictive imagination to work.

edit: Taking my own advice, I realized that upvotes and downvotes should be separate, not added together; so instead of +1, you might see +4/-3.

Still think the votes wouldn't matter?

More than likely not since it would be so easily abusable and still wouldn't be difficult to get into a simple public party. Especially since in a competitive environment people kind of know that its ok to be competitive. Seems silly to me to give someone a negative mark for playing the game in the competitive manner that it was designed. I can see many players completely ignoring the karma system since they do not care if that person is a ninja because so are they!, and so are basically everyone that they meet. Just my opinion.

You are far less hypocritical than the average player.

I'll be honest though, I don't know if ninjas will be as common as you think they'll be; maybe they will. However, judging purely from the current practice of permanent allocation everywhere, I predict much less ninjas than you do (although undoubtedly there will still be some).

oh come one, your rating system is pointless. It would be so easy to abuse so your rating wouldn't acutally mean anything. And why would it stop your from taking that exalt or uber unique? It's not like can't easily make up for the few down votes you would get.

You are ignoring every single argument against it. You are just preaching by now.

I can't believe this thread is still going on!

If you don't like to play perm allocation it's really fucking simple as to what you have to do....


MAKE

YOUR

OWN

FUCKING

PARTY!


Please let this thread die.

Its easy to prove me wrong is it? Funny, D2 being the greatest and most played ARPG of all DAMN time says other wise.

Seriously think about it. D2 being a great game has nothing at all to do with the what I called you out on. Everyone who played D2 was NOT satisfied with the loot system.

And it didn't matter did it? Still the greatest most played ARPG of all time, right? You did call me out on that and I proved you wrong with that simple statement. NO ONE cared about a few babies that where not satisfied over loot. Nothing, notta, not a single poop on a stick was ever given. It was a simple love it or leave it. And that's how you make a great game. Again, best ARPG ever proves my point.




Sadly, people like you talk to much and brain washed GGG into 'loot' options instead of what 'they' wanted.


GGG can still remove loot options, you know this right? Koff Koff beta.

Lol wtf is this thread still alive for?

Vooodu, lets use your flawed logic on other games shall we?

COD MW2, the fastest selling piece of entertainment of all time at release. Shits on the sales of all music, movies & games in one foul swoop.

But oh no, One Man Army Noob Tunes are ridic OP & ruin the game for everyone who doesn't use them. But the game had them & didn't patch them out, so surely (by your logic) because MW2 was the most played game then surely everything in it was right...right?

If it was the most played then surely nothing could be wrong with it? The people that played it must have liked all the aspects of the game? If MW2 was the best seller then surely ppl liked Noob Tubes?

No, your logic is bad & you should feel bad.

I should feel bad?

Is COD or MW2 an ARPG?

Answer: NooOOoO.



My logic is sound. Yours however, is drunk and needs to go to sleep.

So your logic of "this game was played by a lot of people so therefore everything in it must have been right" ONLY apples to ARPGs does it?
