The title system is going to be removed? Are you serious? Three years of hard work to get my Fabled Legendary, just for it to get taken away?

What the hell, Achronos?


Achronos isn't to blame for this. Blame the community for whining about a compilation of words (that mean nothing) that pertain to your ban history, posts, your time spent on here, and other crap I may have missed.

Lol, if you look at what the majority of the "community" is saying, you'll see that we want them gone.

True. Me personally? I'm indifferent. It's nice to have, but can live without.

edit: Plus in my previous post I was mostly reflecting on the past and how I saw threads about community members complaining mostly about "When am I going to get promoted?," "Why was I demoted?," "I wonder how Mythics sleep at night." and other stuff like that.

Yeah, I think it might be time to go back to no titles, and there were two bans - 7 day bans and permanent bans.




Wow.

That is the worst thing I have ever heard come from here. How the hell could they talk about removing the title system?

Us, the veterans of these forums deserve some type of recognition, something that can differentiate us from the rest for our continued return here over the years. It's a fact that the higher the title is, the more respect we get from the proletariat and more knowledge we have of how things work around here.

I dont know. But personally, I think the forums would change for the bad if the title system were removed. I just dont like it.

I wouldn't mind a complete re-think of the title system. I reckon titles should be more like avatars and nameplates in that they're customisable and exist to make you more visually unique, rather than to provide a hierarchy-based status.

  • 09.13.2011 11:28 AM PDT

Honestly, this must be a joke. Child, listen, stop trying to defend yourself because clearly you are incapable of it. The only idiot in this thread is yourself, and trust me, it is obvious. So, how about you do as I asked earlier and log off, mommy and daddy wouldn't want you staying up this late.

They are just fun little titles, you already have a LOT of them.

Titles don't mean you are better than anyone.

I like how Achronos can't even make a joke without half the forum taking him seriously and pissing their pants about it...

No, really. It's amusing!

ISU Cyclones!

This really is a serious matter...

They are nice. There really aren't that many people who really care enough about titles that just post in order to get them. IMO they're a good first impression type deal for the people who have proven they deserve it through good behavior and a long history of being here.

You are more likely to have a reasonable thread with people with titles than you are with members. Not saying that members are all bad behaviored... just all bad behaviored people are member class almost all of the time.

I see the titles as a type of collar for people. Some people care about their titles and will do their best to keep it by helping others.

Without the titles, people won't care if they will mislead people or not. There's no "prize" for them if they help people or hurt people. With titles, at least SOME people will be helpful.

Which is why ban lengths would be increased - to compensate.

Well excuse me for my assuming everyone here knew what hyperbole is. I am clearly in the wrong.

I was, but your mom left early so I had to cut the trip short.

I know I'm probably gonna sound like a jerk, but they can take it away whenever they feel like it. I doubt Achronos cares about what a majority of B.net thinks of him. Not directed at you, just generally.

I see what you are talking about and see your valid point. There is a better way to do it, and titles aint it.

Bungie gave you that so they have every right to take it away from you. Its not yours its a gift for good behavior and because u are on this site you have no rights. Now according to you, your better than me and you know more. But this is not true because if you know more than me you wouldn't have made the dumb post. In the FAQ of this site it says "you have no rights so play nice." No right means you don't own ANYTHING on this site including your title.

I think you are being an extremist towards the title system. The title system itself has been implemented to give a small recognition to well-behaved, good, intelligent, respectful and active members of the community.

Your fancy blue title shows that you are a veteran on the website, and I respect your own dedication to the community and generally, Bungie.net. You can't claim that you are better than me for simply registerind and dedicating yourself in to a community more than I have; I agree though that you are a better Bungie.net member than I ever will.

Therefore asking for a reward or further titles it's a sign of a greedy personality, hence how just your point may be; you are simply asking too much from a system which has nothing to do with greedy desires.

My rights as a citizen entitles me to this very title.


Fellow citizen, you need to read again the rules; we do not have any rights around Bungie.net and I will quote the very message for your own confort.

2. You have no rights.

Make me believe they should require us to pass a test before signing up....ya know, like you have to have an IQ of 7 or higher, would save us from these types of people

OT: Yes, and although my humble opinion matters not to the might which is your mythic status, I felt the need to share my meaningless worth to you.....oh great one.

Internet communities want to end up being communistic with no accountability and face time goal. How has that worked out for every web 2.0 that has tried that approach. It doesn't, they wont collapse their own community just because someone else has a problem with it, I think Bungie understands this - entitlement gets you no where without substance. Bungie's next game is going to be so awesome and kick-ass I feel the online community presence with goals is much more important than in the halo era.

We sit tight for now :)
