"Best Player" and "Favorite of the Clan" polls/ threads are getting way too over done anymore, more so the latter, as of recent.  Forget who's best or coolest (of *insert clan*) and play the damn game.

As for the middle one, I really don't care for it.

what's wrong with the "do you like me" thread(s)? i'm offended because i made a thread like that just for fun,...i honestly don't give a flying F-U-C-K what people think about me :) so what's the big prob? i don't need professional help because i'm not mentally unstable.....call me an attention whore if you want COKK...everyone in this world wants attention whether it's positive or negative....its not opinion it's a fact because i'm taking a psychology unit in college. this forum for example.....when you create a topic/thread or simply reply to one....you want your voice heard, right? yeah so basically you want attention. kaythanksbye :)

Thank you for this post. I knew it would eventually show up. If you really don't care, why are you offended?

i think they are all pointless topics, there almost nothing of value to be gained from a discussion on any of these subjects. i see them as ego threads. remember:

OMG! It was so difficult to choose between the "who is better" and the "do you like me?". There are at least on thread of each going on right now. So sad. SECURITY! GET SOME! For the love of god.

2 things.

1: So your taking a college psych cla**. That qualifies you for what? Gives you what credibility? Everyone who has attended 1 year of college has taken that cla**.

2: Your right. Everyone (almost) does want attention. But there are varying degrees of that desire. Starting a thread soliciting the opinions of others regarding you seems to illustrate a pretty serious need, much more than say simply replying to a thread. Also, replying to a thread can be for informational and educational purposes exclusively. It doesn't have to be for attention though often it is.

I have nothing against you but if you really don't give a f*** about what people think about you you wouldn't have asked. Time is a finite commodity and you spent some of yours in order to post a thread inquiring what ppl think of you. That is a text book case of needing attention and needing it badly. Not that it is necessarily your fault, we don't know what events led up to you needing attention but if you claim you don't, I will call you on it. You do.

"Best Player -The best players don't need marketing"

Amen! Seems oh I don't know....maybe remotely applicable to Envy? He didn't even need that poll about him vs strider in the first place! All we have to do is click on community, leaderboards, press square to switch to Pure Server Top Ranking and VOILA! There he is, the reigning #1  totoalEnVy! And you can even see how many nodes he has destroyed etc!

I am one who thinks that the leaderboards don't tell the whole story. I'm not saying that Envy manipulated the elo because, I don't even know how it works. I do know that many people stop using their accounts once they get at or near the top.
Who knows, maybe my opinion would differ if I wasn't in the rankings basement.
