Just wait until the expansion forum comes out and we have to grind to RED...
I've considered looking into adding Artifact (light gold or red) in the past. Maybe something to revisit. Some of you guys have tons of points past Legendary.
It looks like the devs have decided the best thing to do about end game is raise the level max without adding content. Deja vu anyone?
Now that you are purple @Scot , what are you going to do next ?
No stop to Orange!
Actually just taking it easy, resting on my purple laurels...which can be a bit uncomfortable.
D'oh! I forgot to congratulate you! You look good in purple

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. - FARGIN_WAR
OP you earned your points with good posts and I enjoy reading them I do however find the change to allowing WTFs to earn points a bit of a loss of value to the point system. Some posters do not deserve their points since they post nonsensical things that earn them a record number of WTFs.
LOLs can sometimes be attributed (with the exception of @Gdemami ; awarding them) to genuine laughters but WTFs should not contribute to the points at all. That's my opinion of course but people read posts and then decide in what way they react and WTFs is not a good litmus to the content. I suppose I will now earn a whole bunch of WTFs for this post.
Pretty much why I never give "WTF" and I only give "LOL" when I was genuinely amused.
"Oh yeah, you just posted shit, I'm going to reward you with a WTF which gives you a +1" doesn't sound right to me.
I didn't even know this, so I may make purple by @Gdemami wtf's alone
He does "LOL" more than "WTF" I think, but yeah, you may just do that
So now Gdemami's reputation goes from that of "what is he on" to the Tooth Fairy. He is really a great guy, taking posts which are not that good, giving them a polish with a "lol" and awarding you a +1 for them.
Meh. I think the systems like this ruin meaningful discussions and take away from the site's original intentions of bringing mmorpg players together.
It's a click bait game that takes away from saying something to contribute. Make controversial and hot topics center point. The Yo Momma jokes and insults to intelligence usually get the clicks.

If you ever dig into history and find transcripts from the Roman forums over 2000 years ago, you will sadly discover 2 blokes in togas exchanging "Yo Momma" barbs while in heated debate over the new standard colour proposal of olives.
Nothing is ever new, its just history repeating itself, just hopefully with less stabbings and actual sex with your own mother...(ref Roman history, not currant forum members, unless wearing an actual toga right now)
Grandstanding was and still is the political ancient way to click bait, audience is now wider the forum is larger, but its same old, same old.
Meh at one point I was blue then for what ever reason my likes, insightfuls, etc were reset. That was a fairly long time ago and it wasn't worth the bother to complain over it.
The forum is not a mmorpg and because some do look at it like that most posting is crap to read cause people just post to get post count high like that turtlewhatever dude at some point before he had gold name he was posting every few minutes complete bullshit posts.

Well not sure much more can be said, but I do help other posters when they make orange, purple, blue or green come to pub and do a "I am Green Now" post or whatever.
I will give insightfuls to anyone that gives me some...lolz
It looks like 1 lol gives you 1 point more. Giving 20 lols took something between 2-3 minutes, so raising you to Legendary would require between 3-5 hours of time.
I sense an opportunity for Chinese power-lolling service.
Every reaction seems to be worth the same (1 point). I couldn't test on what a Promote -reaction would be worth.
It looks like quoting you isn't worth of any points.
Oh wow you actually came and gave me 20 lols
Hmm I might be real busy tomorrow, when I get up, handing out returns!
I am at 1073 points as of this post.
EDIT: Just gave you 20 insightfuls Vrika
Maybe it would be better to ask
@MikeB is trading reactions or similar activity forbidden? I wouldn't want to get accidentally banned for doing something like this.
If anyone is to take anything away from this thread, it is that I am proud of you all for not managing to inject Purple, throbbing and member into anywhere along the line, it was begging for it, and you all resisted, well done............................(golfclap).... OH DANG IT I just did it didn't I, oh bugger the irony.
I think "gaming" the system is what is commonly known as cheating, hopefully that's not the main thing posters take from this thread. It may not be forbidden, but doing good posts generates points. And somehow I think good posts may be what the forums are about.

Pretty sure the way the system works once you get around 3 or 4 k post you're going to be purple regardless of the quality of posts.
Which seems to me why one poster said something about agrees to lol ratio or something like that being a better indicator or quality.
Personally I don't think it means diddly or denote anything about quality whether good or bad..

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
