Lately I've been seeing a lot of people who have 10,000+ AP, and all they've done is rate 1,000 games and comment a million times. While I'm over here just playing games I like, and having fun in the forums. So even though I'm not worried about AP too much, it just kind of annoys me that that's all they care about on the site.
My question to you guys is what do you think the best way to gain AP is? Would you respect someone if they were #1 on the site but had never made a single forum post? Or how about if all they had were forum posts?
My opinion is that all the ways to gain AP are respectable as long as you don't spam. I think that is important playing games (it's a game website), write once in a while good reviews and earn merits and post in the forums some times. That's all.
Merits. Mertis are the one thing yo uactually have to work for.
Wrong. Dead wrong. The most respectable way to gain AP, by far, is submitting games. Merits can take 10 minutes while creating games can take weeks, or even months. And more people respect game designers than any other users.
The most respectable? Submitting Games. Game making requires a incredible amount of skill, and time. Of course, that is in no way possible for the average person. So, in this case i am going with merits.
And more people respect game designers than any other users.
I have to add also something they insult them also a lot, if they don't make a "good" game. The majority does not respect their work even to make a "bad' game you have to spend hours and hours. It's not nice when you see bad things about your work.
