And how is length of time a major factor in deciding titles? Valuable members aren't necessarily the ones who have been here forever, brownnosing left and right.
From my own experience, a member who has been around a long time is much more likely to be a good contributor to the community. While there are exceptions on both ends, obviously, just look at the overall contributions of most long-time members compared with most new guys.

Not that new guys are bad -- most of them just haven't found their way around the site and community enough to be really good contributors yet. Length-of-membership is clearly an important factor in determining trust and title.

If you want to join in on the most fascinating and beneficial group on Bungie.Net, come and join Black Water Ops, Most active group on B.Net (FACT)

These changes are helpful in so many ways.
For one, they help show how active, how much you post, etc. that person is.
Im guessing this will help show how trustworthy someone is.

Im still confused about how to level from heroic to legendary. Do you have to go through all the categories of that member title, then you level based on trust, or what??

Glad to find this somewhere. I was very confused.

You haven't been here a year AND you have warnings AND bans? Why would a "trust rating" system give you a title again?

Because those bans were totally not my fault?



YOU got banned therefore it was YOUR fault.......

Should I start putting "I'm not being serious." in every post from now on?

  • 11.13.2008 1:41 PM PDT

This is a very interesting update.

In the wars of the future, wars will be fought by video game nerds who can't use anything but a sniper rifle.

Imagine, someone equipped with an automatic rifle will venture out into the battlefield and be killed by a member of his or her respective team because they're a "noob".

Some may have been on here for a few years but not have joined, much like you. They might have joined and right away started contributing by providing help and other things. The whole 'account age' thing is a little pointless IMO, and titles should be based off of the user, and not when he discovered or decided to join bungie.net.

The problem is that I can guarantee you there are people would say that exact same thing and mean it seriously.

How exactly do you expect a system, that is based on the specific UserID, to figure that out?

I just have no clue what these prefixes are actually meaning. Noble, exalted, fabled. Right now that means nothing at all to me. With the base titles it followed the Halo style that is easy to understand.

Am looking forward to some clarity. I have no clue which prefix is more valued than the next one I see.

Well with this account, I made it.... early 2007, but didn't actually start using it till beginning of this year / end of last year

so I don't think it really matters to much either.... but older members should be rewarded better

By the quality of users' posting. Which, when looked at from the other side, would be hard to follow. But it is still an idea.

Yet everyone excepts you to identify it.



Is there any chance we could see our own "trust rating"? I'm just curious on what it is.

  • 11.13.2008 1:47 PM PDT

Posted by: Achronos
The system is still updating for some of you, so it is possible that your base title will change over the next 48 hours (higher or lower). However, a big change is that once it settles, it should be much more predictable (the rating isn't relative to every other user anymore, it is a fixed scale, i.e., get X trust, get A title, get Y trust, get B title, etc.)

So, if I'm reading this correctly, some members true titles won't be all-correct until maybe Saturday? I know of my past warning/ban history last year wasn't that great last May, but I'm still confused. More will be answered and explained soon I hope.

So far it seems to be that Veteran corresponds to having an older account with possibly other requirements, and that Honorable, Noble, and Exalted reflect increasingly how clean of a ban/warning history you've kept, probably with other requirements. No idea what Fabled and Intrepid relate to, but I'd guess one of them probably has something to do with private groups.

Machines cannot accurately detect, nor understand, "quality".

I think this is the best change, it is no longer a comparative rating.

Which is why I was posting that. I thought someone would get it. Wasn't expecting Achronos though.
