Elitism
Where did it start? How did it begin? Surely there has to be some explanation as to where all this "title hoarding" took place. Was it the initial placement of these on our account? Just because someone says something, we automatically assume it's that way because of the color of their bar.
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 think it degrades from the conversation and makes it a less friendly experience. I think there should be harsher penalties for users that express this.
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.
Is this natural in our world as humans to think of something prestigious above others? Do we enjoy holding our high titles heavy above others? Maybe it's just an internet thing. 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?
We're the community. For regulars that post in this forum, they know what I'm talking about. In less than a year, Bungie.net is more than likely going to get a plethora of new members. Who are they to look up to for guidance? We're the future of the bungie.net community and we should act as one. I am all for everyone working together and sharing that blue ribbon. Can we please come together and be a community guys?
Isn't that what our blue banner is for, right at the top of this forum? We're all winners. Lets have some fun.
Thank you. If you look through history, you will know this is not new. Other people than you have complained about it, that's what practically started the russian revolutions.
