✭✭✭✭✭YesWell of course I am blindly going to support anything which lets me get more badges.
Although if I was a rational person and not a forums addict I might as why and to what end do we actually need these.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Insomnia rex✭✭✭YesEveryone who voted yes added something constructive to the discussion. I see no comment from no voter. Sad.
I will hand out agrees left and right @Dracindo

Do you think removing badges for comments would make the forum more constructive? Asking mainly because I'm short of 15 comments for the next level.CP630 AR20 PC EU, Alt Mag Sorc AD - Insomnicia Rex0 -

Badges tend to only be worth 5 or 10 points though.Sure. Because that star grind is no joke.
If one really wants to grind points for the ranks it's better to just post in controversial threads with an opinion and you'll come out with a bunch of agrees. Otherwise just post stupid meme pictures as every post you make and you'll get points.
I generally found just posting good posts, with some witty remarks and trash posts here and there (which is how I've always posted) got reactions fast enough. The main thing is to just post a lot and be active on the forums.
Depends as well if you want the reputation of someone who just trash posts for points or not.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

✭YesI initially was gonna vote No as polls on their own don't really help the game or the people as such but then I remembered there are badges for various milestones. As long as it doesn't enable people to spam the forums with useless subjects eh? :P"If a stick of fish is a fish stick, it will stick like other fish sticks stick"

There will be useless farming polls, but then we have useless farming threads and posts already. So I don't think it will really be a change.I initially was gonna vote No as polls on their own don't really help the game or the people as such but then I remembered there are badges for various milestones.

The ZOS mods might not be happy with the extra work though.

✭✭✭✭✭Yes
Every little bit helps. Especially for those of us without the time or inclination for relevant (or controversial) posts.
Besides, it's been a few years since there was a poll about "are there too many polls?" on every page. More useless badges would turn that around.Edited by Reverb on June 27, 2017 11:39AMBattle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche2 -

✭YesIt always surprises me how a well thought out and researched post or a post with a genuine question/facts might get lost and not get any attention but inflammatory or some weird comment might rack up thousands of views and comments XD"If a stick of fish is a fish stick, it will stick like other fish sticks stick"
