It rewards members for good behavior. Is that bad?

I kinda like this idea.


How could you like an idea that limits users for no reason...


The fact is at the moment is that you would be taking away from new members.. plus title system takes to long to were a avatar would motivate you to become mythix

That doesn't sound very fair. It's, in a way, a feature or ability. I don't think we should limit features or abilities to titles that are "meaningless" and "just for fun"- especially as I don't see why lower titled users shouldn't be allowed to use the classified avatars.

Rarity FTW

They'd have to be some really badass avatars, otherwise it won't be very effective as a tool for making users behave.

Two things.

1. Mustache bomb should be burrito only.
2. What if you lose the title?

  • 03.15.2012 4:53 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Avatar reverts to default.

Or reverts to an avatar that looks like "I <3 [Ninja]"

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Keep all current avatars available for everyone and add new ones for the different titles. Problem solved. And saying it takes too long isn't really an argument, it would promote good behavior, and is that not what we want?

Yes it is what we want. Also burritosenior also brang a good about about what would happen if lost your title. I still think limiting new member is not a good idea.

  • 03.15.2012 5:09 PM PDT

Nah I don't agree. It just seems over the top.

Yes, we would be adding new ones, not taking away from the current ones.

Also, to answer burrito's point about losing your title; if you lost your title that affected your avatar, then your avatar would be reverted to the default one (webmaster).

Кланяються мені!

I do think it would promote good behavior. Why not reward the long term dedicated fans with content on Bnet and why stop there, add in something for Destiny that is unlocked in direct correlation with your community presence. I have always supported this idea when it is brought up :)

I feel as if it would be more of a distraction (or reason for members to complain about unfairness) than reinforcement.

No. That's stupid to restrict people from content because of their title.

Well, the title system has been proven as a huge distraction in the past. However, all complaints are in one [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=15804986] thread[/i]/ So I don't see why Avatars couldn't be maintained the same way.

  • 03.15.2012 5:28 PM PDT

Stupidity, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic

Like I said (damn you, lack of concise writing and/or cursed 25th post), it doesn't encourage good behavior, it just incentivises the avoidance of bad behavior. While that sounds like the same thing, it really isn't. People who already don't care about breaking the rules will continue in their apathy, while it won't make much of a difference for the remainder, who presumably already want their fancy title bars.

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

I really don't care, I won't be changing mine until Bungie makes me. I don't see a problem with what's suggested in the OP.

I think it would be best if everyone started on equal ground for the avatars though. Like even if you're Mythic you would have to go without any bans or warnings for whatever the amount of time is just like everyone else.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.
Posted by: mike120593
My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Dumb. So dumb.

Oh shush. I argue for mythics the vast majority of the time, or at least more often than not. I mean I honestly could care less as long as I can have my emblem but I just don't think it's fair.

I don't really give a -blam!- about avatars but the whole "everything has to be fair" has become somewhat of a pet peeve of mine. You encounter it everywhere these days. I wouldn't be surprised if baseball teams were forced to sign people with no arms one day, all in the name of fairness.

It's not like it's unheard of or uncommon that longetivity, whether it is as an active participant or customer, usually results in better deals or extras.

-I don't think it's fair that he's older than me.

Dude, if an avatar is all it takes I'm more than willing to trade the 15 or so years I probably got on you any day.

Unlocking anything based on titles is a terrible idea, I don't know why this has to be explained so many times.

The title bar itself is a reward, be happy with what you have.
