My spoon isn't the only thing that's too big

Come on, at least be subtle about it. This is just blatantly obvious.

Perhaps we don't say it enough, there are more threads hating on moderators than there are praising them. But they all got it right in this thread, for sure.

I'm sorry that you think members should not have to wait longer for something other members have gotten in the same amount of time to get?
No matter how you look at it, a Vietnam War veteran can't become a WW2 War veteran. /analogy


Wars have nothing to do with this and the analogy is N/A. (Iraq war vet here.)

If it took someone four years to get a Mythic status and they signed up in 2005, why should someone who signed up in 2008 have to wait longer now for good behavior?

If you would like to use the military as an analogy, let's take the rank of Sergeant E-5. First you must obtain this:

(E-4) - 6 months TIG with 24 months TIS. (Time in Grade/Time in service)

Then you have to have this in order to become a Sergeant E-5:

Forty-six (46) months time in service (TIS) to become eligible for promotion.

Well this isn't the Army, but people aren't going to say, Well we have a lot of Sergeants now, let's make anyone who joined after we did wait longer than we did. Never mind their good behavior, whatever.

You do your time here as a good member, you get your appropriate title. That is the way it works.

With the increase of members here there are going to be more Mythic members in due time. If they haven't been banned, they deserve the title. If they screw up, that is on them.

If you have a personal conflict with there being more Mythic members in the future, maybe that is something you should take up with yourself.

One thing is for sure though. There will be more Mythic members in the future.

Yes, but won't those who were at Sargent when the new guys joined have moved up to an even higher rank by the time they reach Sargent?
Unfortunately we don't have anything higher, so it's unbalanced, IMO.

Anyway, I didn't mean anything by the war analogy, I was just trying to say that you can't become something that you never were.

Let me post a different analogy: The winner of the 'fun run 2009' can't also have the title for 'fun run 2008' if they didn't participate. That would be unfair to everyone who did participate in '08'.

I'm not worried about the war thing.

So, I joined in 2006...again.(I had an account back in 2001 didn't use it. Signed up in 2004 but got deployed several times...bla bla bla) Since I didn't join in 2004, you are saying I should not be able to become an Exalted Mythic Member? If this is what you are saying where do you come up with this reasoning?

Hey Skibur, I'm a 50 in this game, but now there are other kids who have a 50 so I want to go higher. Fix the ranking system pl0x.

Better yet, to stick with what you're talking about, take away some of the 50s of people who got it after me because I was there before them. lol

Maybe this will help explain my view on the titles.
Offended that [it seems like] you think they aren't worthy of being a trusted member.No. This is where I probably look at titles differently. I don't look at them trust-wise, I look at them like "Hey, this guy has stuck around for X amount of time."

I respect dedication and time invested, which is what the titles mean to me. I base my trust on the individual.
Isn't this similar to the direction that Bungie has taken with Halo: Reach 'ranks'?

  • 04.03.2010 5:58 PM PDT

Skibur, I agree some what with yor origninal post although you come off as elitist. I do think we need some more titles, and that mythic is a little to easy to get, there are some people that should be recognised for sticking around as long as they have.

Wait so do you mean that they should just keep it at a Mythic Member instead of maybe a Fabled Mythic Member or Exalted Mythic Member?
No. The prefixes are fine and should remain, but the base titles should be increased to say, seven (from four).

Posted by: cRaZyT101
what's wrong with us '08 members? :(
Nothing, it's just that the title should be reserved for those who have been around for much longer.
See, join date aside, we have had more experience on here through the highs and lows. We know more about the community, we know more people, we are part of an elite club, the Mythic club.

2008 members (an all other members) are part of an elite club in their own right, but not part of ours, in my opinion.


so, unless u joined back then, we can NEVER be mythic members ? i joined in 08. ive never been banned, never even been warned. ive poured my life into private groups and posts over the last couple of years, and i DONT deserve a blue bar ? There are members who have the blue that are terrible members, but since they joined forever ago they are rewarded with that. i dont think it should be based off of when you joined, but more of how you contribute, as it is now.


i Do however agree that we need more titles.

  • 04.03.2010 6:29 PM PDT

Greatest of all time

I agree with Khaotic.

Anyone who got a 50 and general after January 08 should be demoted to brigadiers with a rank of 49.

You know because if you didn't get your 50 in 07 you really don't deserve it.

I wouldn't mind more titles. I don't get why anyone would be against them really. They're just for fun.

Also... I'm not understanding why the first post has been collapsed?

With the ageing Bungie.net population and the already high number of Mythic Members, I think that we need to implement a number of new titles which are (see edit) than Mythic Member.
It's not as special being Mythic when pretty soon members who registered in 2008 will be given the title.

Suggestions for new titles and general discussion is welcome.

EDIT: These new titles would need to be added between Member and Heroic, Heroic and Legendary and Legendary and Mythic.
We shouldn't have anything higher than Mythic. (There is nothing higher than Mythic)
I agree with you man. One thing I think I would do though is make it so you have to get more attachments or something to get the higher ranks.

uh because the OP is an elitist troll. If this was about in game ranks instead of forum ranks he would have been banned long ago with the comments hes been making.

Eh? Topic seems legit to me. I haven't read any comments really, but if the replies he has made were bad, then I would think those posts should be reported, rather than the first one which doesn't seem bad to me. Eh. Maybe this forum is just lazy.
