I feel that the current level of 20 armor points for submitting a game seems a bit low.

Think about this:
Rating a game or making a quick comment gives you 2 AP and requires less than a minute of work. <b>2AP per minute</b>
Giving a real comment that usually earns a merit takes me about seven minutes. 27/7~ <b>3AP per minute</b>

Creating a really good flash game usually takes months of work, yet this only earns you 20AP, which even though it is a lot, does not yield very many APs per how much work you put into it.

What would ArmorGames be without games? (It would only be Armor, which is still pretty fun to wear and mess around with, however, after a while would get boring and sold at an antique store or left in the garage to gather dust...)

Usually, developers are very busy people, and don't often have time to comment on other people's games or post in the forums. However, these are the ones who contribute the most to AG.

Changing this wouldn't really make a major difference, since very few players actually create their own games, however, I still think it is important to appreciate the hard work of these developers.

Just something to think about,
Andreas

Well, i thik this may have been brought up once, not sure though. The only thing is, go look at any game makers page. They dont talk to people or anything. They truely don't care about points, but rather the money, that comes with the games, as well as makeing them.

There real prize is our feed-back.

I personally think that it should be 15 points and you get points for it getting into certain levels of views and ratings.

The game makers seem to care very little about Armor Points. Also, I think that Daniel McNeely doesn't want people to just submit horrible games. He wants legitimate things.

Well, it may not be a lot, but a lot of game developers just post a game on here and leave. So if we gave them more AP for games then the inactive game developers would all be in the top ten instead of the users that are actually active.

Well, I think it's enough. What game developers most want to see is to have their game appreciated by members. It means the most to them. Now, I don't see flash developers going around trying to beat everyone else in AP, have I?

Actually, some people who aren't spammers care about AP too. The difference is that they earn it fairly.

Well it's not a bad idea, but another thing is that even if it was 100 AP per game, people would need to submit over 125 games to get in the top ten. So there really isn't a point to making more AP for making games.

If you guys haven't realized, AG tests the games before they make it though. They aren't tha careless.
