AE: Good Idea or Bad?

Here was my old post I made for the forums. It doesn't work anymore, but here it is:

Quote:
Couldn't you find even one topic about AE to post in? Nope I guess this topic has unique ideas that nobody has ever thought of. Some ideas might be good, some might be bad, but at this point I think every possible idea has been covered.


Each word is a link to a different thread about issues with AE. I bet that if you read through each and every one of threads you would:

1) Need to smash somebody's face in
2) Realize arguing this topic is pointless
3) Find a corner to cry in
4) Wish you hadn't even bothered posting
5) Be stunned that there are that many threads on AE.

Active AE Topics:

Saving CoX - I gotta respect tenacity.

MA killed my family - for fun.

*Note: some threads are older than others, so be careful not to necropost.

If I could give Tonality 10 points I would. I was sad the old ones didn't work. "seeing is believing."

Check out the negative rep i got from earlier:
AE: Good Idea or Bad? 08-18-2009 03:27 PM Stop telling people what to do

Funny thing tho.... I don't use the rep system except for LoLs....

BUT if you look at the Forum Policies, they specifically state (which I am from time to time guilty of, but no more guilty of than all these SPAM and Cross Posting threads about AE):

5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.
...
* Spam - this is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.
* Do not create threads/posts to “petition” or “lobby” for game features, additions, changes, or other issues. You may post suggestions and/or ideas to the boards, but you may not create a ‘petition’ for others to sign. This is bumping in disguise and will not be allowed. Lobbying is continually bringing up the same topic repeatedly in numerous different threads or as an off-topic post in official threads to get developer attention. This form of posting is not permitted.
* Cross posting - As a courtesy to others before beginning a new thread, please look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature. If so, place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forum needlessly and many good ideas may be lost. Use the Search link to keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.
* "NERF X!" threads are removed for much the same reason as "I'm leaving" threads. They can turn into threads with little or no constructive information.
* Thread necromancy - Necro-posting is responding to an old discussion thread and is a form of thread ‘bumping’. If you wish to discuss a considerably older topic, create a new post and link to the older discussion.


SO In all actuality, I was actually (and more politely than I currently am) pointing out violations of forum rules. The links I provided are in the first 4 pages, and are all no more than 5 months old. None of them are "necro posting"

As for anonymous lowering of rep, I will happily point out that cowards hide behind the mask of anonymity. If you want to say something, come out and say it. Whats the worst you can lose, a little pride, and rep points. Rep is a useless system that encourages people to not speak up for themselves. Either you speak the truth and anger someone, or you play a happy little cow and MOOve along.

Hey, it's better than the negative rep comment I got on one of these AE threads:

"iuyh.lujgb./;b"

Fantastic. I wonder if that was intentional, or if they fell asleep with their head on the keyboard

Then shouldn't it go something like this:

Hot Rod: "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong?"
Sharkticons: "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong."


EDIT: Evidently we are off topic when the thread is in direct violation of Forum use policy. Interesting how people think that talking about AE on yet another thread is more important than having a few laughs. Guess some people just can't ever be happy, and are trying to live by "Misery loves company" although since I find this all funny, they should try a different approach.

Why don't they just regulate the spawns so they don't make more than 1-2 bosses per mob, and cap the level so it doesn't make more than a level 50, and viola, all farms would be instantly inferior to what you can get in Peregrine. Heck, why not limit mission level to the zone even, so you cant get a level 50 mission in atlas park. I could go on and on.

There are tons of good user suggestions on how to fix the damn thing out there, but they are moving too slow to implement stuff.

It took how many years for power customization?

How many Mastermind primaries have been asked for? How many have been gotten?

It takes time for fixes and ideas to be implemented. And that's if the Devs see it as broken. Complain as we might, they have the data that tells them all the usage statistics they need {or want} to know.

It would be nice if there was a forum for player ideas with a running list of all the ideas, seperated by category. It would also be nice if the mods moved all player idea threads to said forum.
