New New Year, New Rank

Please don't over saturate any of the ratings, they should be of stature and not of easy accessibility. Especially VIP

 

Like i said earlier, my standards are lower than most. To me, ur tracks are reallu good btw

 

Mr_Snoogley certainly deserves this title!

 

example: OA

 

lmfao

 

I don’t think Elite Author should be given to people who aren’t currently active

 

agreed, inactivity is not very elite!

 

so aren't my skribbl skills

 

possibly eleite author for 2000 subscribers. idk. maybe that and/or something else. just an idea. im not sure if they would have to be active or not

 

i see what you're saying but i feel like the reward system is actually underutilized. people should be able to achieve higher ranks if they put the work in, and if the level is set too high ( for instance 10+ feats for VIP ) people might give up in their hopes of becoming EA or VIP because they deem it impossible

 

No because then people like PRL would get it and PRL is a dumbass

 

there's something in the works for ghosting in general, can't take credit for that though and i'll let it get announced in time

 

I vote me
in all seriousness tho:
Eryp deserves one

 

No but that's the point, it's something that you have to work your absolute ass off for. It's not impossible but it's hard and that's why it's an important role. Exclusivity isn't a bad thing

 

Which mR..A should take into consideration only if people actually did that.

For a lot of people it looks pretty much impossible tho. I think I'd rather have 20 people working on their first feat than one or two people going for 10 feats.

Not inherently good either since we should be looking at the effect it's going to have on the game.

 

Well yeah that's the point though isn't it.

Well the point is to have the big end to all ends to be achieved via other things. It's not just an impossible grind with no lower reward. It's an end goal.

The problem is, we need to find the perfect balance between exclusivity and oversaturation with it balancing in the former and not the latter.

 

If you're confident that's going to happen, then sure.

Yea that's probably not a negative thing even if it's relevant only for a couple people, as long as there are some actual lower rewards for people who do see 10 feats as impossible. Wouldn't it make sense for EA with a much lower requirement to be the end goal for those people?

 

That's what OA was meant to be lol. Say EA is 5 feats, that can be done in a year realistically. It's achievable but you need determination. Is it impossible, no of course not. Is it a hard goal, yes like it should be. But say VIP is 10 and you can churn 5 in a year, then VIP can be achieved in 2 good years. Not saying every year is a good year but it's something doable


Ngl thinking the goal should be for those who have been here years, established goals tbh.

 

My honest opinion is that the VIP system should be un-automated, only given out manually after a community vote or if an admin thinks the user deserves the role, I'm still not really sure if VIP won in a contest is completely fair, given that it could go to some completely new guy who suddenly joins and is amazingly good (as sometimes happens). Overall I feel the requirements for VIP are far too arbitrary and different in each case to be handed out when somebody meets a certain goal.
The proposition to give out EA upon acquiring 1 feat sounds far more acceptable to me, as the amount of users who have a feature isn't really that high, and I feel the drive to get 1 feature to a newer user would seem far easier and less stressful than going for 3 or 5, thus hopefully producing better tracks on the database as more users would strive towards better content. It's already been agreed a few times in the community by consensus that getting your first feature is generally much harder than getting another one, as feat mods tend to favour tracks from long-time feat holders and are generally less ready to give feat to others made by newer people on the scene, even if the track itself is arguably better, and I don't see this bias ending any time soon so better roll with it.
