This has been suggested a lot of... scratch that. It has been
begged for a lot of times, but
Char and
Eric seem to not notice the many multi-page threads about it. You need to get rid of "trending".
I know you are working on a new editor, and it looks awesome, but the game isn't being ruined by not having a new editor. It's being ruined by the hundreds of terrible under 30 second tracks (most of them under 5 seconds) that are getting lots of likes because the author says "please like if you want me to continue" or "like if you didn't beat it on your first try", or "I will make better tracks if you like".
I can't say that I am not guilty of doing that. Back in my nooby days on CR a long time ago, I would say things like "please like. I hope it gets to at least 20", and I wasn't the only one. But there is one big difference between then and now: It didn't work for me. Some suckers did like those tracks because of the message, but they didn't deserve more than 5 likes, and they didn't get more than 5 likes.
But now with the trending section, if those tracks get just a few likes, they will show up on trending, and people will see them when they first go on to the webpage. And if the first things you see are bad 5 second tracks, the first tracks you'll play are bad 5 second tracks, and all the people who like tracks just because the author tells them to will like it, and a track not deserving of any likes will get hundreds, while good tracks with mature authors who don't beg for likes won't get very many likes.
Please get rid of trending. Make featured or newest be the first ones to show up, and shuffle them, so it's not the same tracks every single time. If you guys have
any hope of Free Rider HD being anywhere near as good as Canvas Rider, getting rid of trending is the first step.
