You can find a list of every possible badge here.

Thanks! I did not know about this page and I've been around almost forever. And now I know who gave me my 250th LOL. I miss the good old days.

Hi,

I am a very competitive person and even though i have played the game since launch i am starting to use the forum more frequently now. I can se that there is points to be gained but not how i get them. Can anyone please help me get on the leader boards here on the Forum?

I hit agree which should send a point your way buddy

Combo breaker looks cool, wish I had that one but I guess you have to get that on your first shot.

Oh and....

All of you 7 have been around for a loooong time. Playing on the popular forum P2W tune, fortunately some things just can't be bought with money, like effort and endurance. And joining early, of course.

It's much harder now that we are living in the dark post-LOL era. Previously, all one had to do was post something mildly amusing or witty or even something disagreeable and you could farm sincere and sarcastic LOLs alike. Now, posters must strain to figure out how to use insightful or awesome ironically but it doesn't work well.

I suggest now that you just contribute on every thread complaining about something going wrong in ESO. There are so many you should be max level in no time.

LOLs were worth zero points. You could not rank with LOLs.

There were lol achievements at 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000. Those were worth juicy points.

Memes are just as good, for example.

Thank you for the clarification. Was there not one for 1000?

Waffennacht · August 2015

You can try posting something like a grind spot. A good chunk will hate you but you'll get a lot of insightfuls from people such as myself (hint hint plz lol)

Im more concerned ill say something bad and people will take their awesomes back O_O;

Well thank you very much everyone! I guess i will try and share all my awesome ESO tips on the forums and se the starts filling up!

I_killed_Vivec · August 2015

There's a "leader board" ?

xMovingTarget · August 2015

This another Forum Points farm thread? Can I have some too?

Vizier · August 2015

Forum Points need a NERF! Too many people that had access to LOL and Disagree. It's not faaaiiiirrrrr!..... qq

LOL- couldn't resist.

Rosveen · August 2015

I'm not funny or insightful, so I have to make do with Agrees. If you can't or don't want to make your own popular thread, the best way is to ensure your post is one of the first three in another new thread. I'm on the forum 24/7, so it's easy. Absurd suggestions are the best; swoop in with just "No." and watch 27 Agrees roll in. You can add a meme for more dramatic results, it will net you a few Awesomes, but don't overdo it. You can never compete with WhiskyBob anyway.

Seriously though, I didn't farm it. I'm just a no-life spammer.

xMovingTarget !!!

Love the youtube videos!!! Love the accent!!!

Just pure Love!!!

When you made your DK build with the Silk of the Sun set i made 500 000 gold

<3<3

Do you and other players like Deltia ever farm a set before you release the guides?

I have some great plans of how we could be the Scrooge McDuck of ESO!!

It has gotten much harder since the dreaded lol nerf. Chances are a lot of people will never catch up with my awesomeness.Truly unfair but expected!!!

How can a new player possible dream to compete in this current unbalanced system?. Should they grind points in teh CWC thread all day for ages? The ZOS way. Messing up with new players since 2014!!!

clearly a catchup mechanic is needed.

briandivisionb16_ESO · August 2015

Threads like these are a good place to start, young padawan.
But I think the irony is lost on most of our dear forumers, imp.

It already exists. It's called, "Open threads with titles like 'How to gain points on the ESO forums'".

How about taking "One-A-Day Plus Irony"?

Sarcasm does not translate well either...

whyB · August 2015

Don't forget about bumping old post points either!

CGPsaint · August 2015

Grinding for stars in the forums is definitely going to eat into your grinding time in game... Just my 2 cents.
