Originally, I was all for it.
After seeing it on Waypoint however, no. All it does it to bring people who'll post some sarcastic remark (usually off-topic) in the hopes of getting likes. Discussion quality goes down from there.How the community of immature little kids on Waypoint handle features is no way to judge how this community will do so.
"Immature little kids"? You realise how ironic your comment is, right? You know, with the fact that you felt the need to insult and generalise a whole community for no reason at all.
Bungie and Halo Waypoint aren't that different. Look at the Halo 4 forum over there, and you'll see that they act the same as people in the Reach forum here.It's not for no reason. Sure I used a flagrant generalization and it wasn't totally necessary, but I've been around that community. I tried really hard to be able to settle down in their community and be able to discuss Halo over there, but I just can't. I couldn't be the equivalent of a community forum regular over there as I used to be over there. The community on the whole just pissed me off too much.
And you're right. Their Halo 4 forum is almost a clear parallel to our Reach forum. But, the attitude and manner of speaking used in that forum is carried out to every other forum on the site which is what makes it unbearable for me. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of well-spoken and mature people who actively participate over there. David J Cobb is just one of them that I can think of off the top of my head.
And it is for these reasons I've now left waypoint (the relative immaturity of the userbase at large, the ridiculous amount of spamming that goes unregulated like a literal "Type in this thread so everyone can "thank" your post and you can get lots of "thanks" thread, the ridiculousness of the moderation staff, and the silly rules they have in place), and it is for these reasons that I don't think that they can be used as an appropriate analog through which we can hypothesize the manner in which the users of Bungie.net would react to such a feature being implemented.
