yeah well... i believe that the rep system was "dead" for a long time... until some of us -cough- went through that abusing stage making it noticible that ppl starting to get 4-5 reps bars.... which was when the rest of the forum took notice about this whole rep thing...

then we STOPPED abusing it.. and i reckon half of our rep nuggets are legi! just that.. we ended up with too much rep power... so it seems like it's been abused... but... if its legi then its not abused right...?

*legi... as in... meaningful/purposeful

Really.

I know that there is one 11-bar user that always floats around with assistance, but the other two are more of Mountain of Spam frequenters that received random rep-boosts from random people. Nothing against them, but I doubt their reputation is truly legitimate. One or two +reps is understandable for a funny remark or a well-made point, or a well-made work of art, but I doubt that getting reputation for saying "lol" can be deemed legitimate.

However, I cannot see inside private guild forums anymore, thus I cannot discern whether my observation is valid or not. Of course, as people say, it's "only rep."

I seem to be more pessimistic lately. Odd.
