Elitism
Where did it start?
You see, there was a person who thought he was better than everyone else.
How did it begin?
"Title hoarding", as you call it, started when a member thought that his title makes him superior, simply.
Surely there has to be some explanation as to where all this "title hoarding" took place.
No, that's not the direct cause of it.Was it the initial placement of these on our account?
You might, but "we" don't.Just because someone says something, we automatically assume it's that way because of the color of their bar.
Yeah, it is, but "some" is a very minuscule percentage of the community.
It's sad how some people literally go through these forums and won't even notice or respond to other users posts simply because of their color.
(I'll assume you didn't mean to use the word "from" in that sentence.) Such a small amount of people do it, it really makes no difference.I think it degrades from the conversation and makes it a less friendly experience.
There are no penalties. Why? Because it's only their opinion.I think there should be harsher penalties for users that express this.
Cool story bro. :D
I remember as a child how I would show off my work at the fair grounds and you would win a prize. At the end of the day everyone that got a blue ribbon (1st place) would meet for a special meeting. Those kids went into a drawing to receive a $50 prize. Even though there was a cool prize for their efforts, many of those children were bickering and making fun of the other ones simply because they didn't get a blue ribbon.
You never mentioned thinking about something prestigious above others. I'll assume you meant to say "to think of themselves better then others, based on things like title", to which I'd answer no.
Is this natural in our world as humans to think of something prestigious above others?
You might, but "we" don't.Do we enjoy holding our high titles heavy above others?
What makes you think that?Maybe it's just an internet thing.
In your hypothetical reality that doesn't represent Bungie.net at all, I don't know how.How can we possibly understand each other and act as a community if we're constantly judging each other simple because of our fun little hats?
I know what you're trying to get at, but you are making no sense along the way and I disagree with a lot that you're presuming.
For regulars that post in this forum, they know what I'm talking about.
Sure.In less than a year, Bungie.net is more than likely going to get a plethora of new members.
Their own intelligence and any community member nice enough to guide them.Who are they to look up to for guidance?
We are the bungie.net community, we aren't acting and we don't have to act.We're the future of the bungie.net community and we should act as one.
Is your favorite color red, by chance?I am all for everyone working together and sharing that blue ribbon.
We're already together and we're already a community.Can we please come together and be a community guys?
The blue banner? That's the title of this forum. It means that you're in the Bungie.net community forum.
Isn't that what our blue banner is for, right at the top of this forum?
