NOTE: This is not a discussion about the feature, nor is it a suggestion.

I personally view fame as a feature that promotes elitism. (Basically: I R MOAR POP-U-LAR DEN U)
Not only that, but it can discourage others who may not be as "famous" as others.

We all know the other issue, "FAMEZ 4 FAMZEZORZ!" *pushes beggar away* and we know that the recent update just did this, "FAMEZ MAH NAO, FAMEZ4FAMZEZ!"

So now that we have that established, let's get into my solution.

Fame used as an Overall score

Being famous in this game wasn't about clicking a, excuse my french, freakin' UserPage. It was determined by the numbers of wins, losses, and how helpful the player was. Now, taking this into thought, let's bring up faction scores.

Faction scores are determined by several factors: Faction Wins, Flag Points, and Faction War wins. (forgive me for excluding anything) With this being said, instead of using fame as a tool for beggars who want to be "faked famous" let's give players work for that right. On paper, the concept of fame was probably a good idea. I even think it was a good concept. However, it was executed the wrong way. You must take the concept and apply it to your community. You'd have to treat it like a scientific hypothesis, "If fame will give the more notable and popular, then the lesser players will begin to beg."

My solution for Fame is that it be calculated as a total overall amount of various factors. What factors would effect this?

-Wins
-Rarity Score
-Achievement Score
-Faction Score(only viable if you had been a faction founder after faction scores were released)
-Number of Missions Completed
-Houses Owned

As you can see, it's a combination of various game aspects. THAT is how fame should be calculated. As for those who already got achievements, etc. it's really simple, adjust the scoring, and number of points to get an achievement, if some people already have one of the achievements, but do not have enough points after the switch, let them keep the achievement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, this next part is purely a suggestion, but I decided to include it in here. You can keep the UserPage button, and just turn it into "page hits." and for every 20 page hits, the user could receive 50 credits. So that the feature isn't entirely wasted.

Opinions? Comments? Criticism?

Perhaps make fame as what you suggested where you need in-game factors to become famous rather then spam for fame. Turn what is currently known as fame into Popularity. Popularity is just having friends who know you and will gladly raise your popularity. It would also be beneficial to add in an unpopular option so you can't just spam for popularity without losing some.

That is quite a good idea. If there really has to be a fame feature on this game, making it determined by factors that don't involve begging would improve it greatly.

Yes, I have read it. Still, anything related to fame can be done here instead.

Locked.
