Lord Barrius -> RE: How does fame affect the game? (8/11/2011 10:04:46)

I feel as though I should explain why Fame begging is no longer allowed in the forums. The simple answer is "for the same reason we don't allow any other begging". There have been concerns and complaints levied that ED was getting to circumvent the begging rule purely because of the fact that they are a newer community to the forums. We do not seek to encourage begging in any form, and forum administration agreed that it was unfair to let you guys beg and not allow other forms of begging (like begging for DragonCoins, ACs, Varium, etc). Since we don't want that, we instead opted to end Fame begging rather than make all forms of begging "legal", since it just avoids the huge mess created from such a thing. Also let's be honest, is the Fame system really doing its job (highlighting famous players as I understand it) if there is an organized subset of the players on the forums who spam Fame on each other, but the massive number of players NOT on the forums never get this benefit? I really don't think it is. This thread is fine and will be allowed so long as people do not get nasty with each other.
