Do you care about AP? No. Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP? No. 2 years ago I did spam rate though... If you do any of the above, are you fine with that? I no longer do any of the above. If AP left this site, would you leave? No. If AP left, things would be lovely. Your opinion on AP? It is horrible. It promotes game spamming and stuff. Do you care about merits? More so than everthing else, but not a lot. I guess I do give more respect to users with lots of merits though. Would you write a good review if you didn't get a merit? Yes. Game reviews should be written for the developer. Do you think you spam? No. If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do? Get rid of it. Do you care about forum posts? Nope.
I said it ages ago, I will CAPS it again... YOU DO NOT WRITE A MERIT. YOU WRITE A REVIEW AND MAYBE IT WILL BE REWARDED WITH A MERIT.
Why the fidgegatons people can't get this concept into their heads is beyond me. ... It is going back into my About now...
Right. 1) Yes, I care about AP, or rather about the useless discussions that are always had about them. I also care somewhat when my own total sum of AP or sum of any counter hits interesting numbers (7777 forum posts recently). I used to enjoy casual competing in gaining of AP (the "lol, I passed you by like 10 AP" sort of thing going back and forth), but that's fairly long ago... 2) No. 3) A little embarrassed about my "oooh, shiny number *screenshot*", very tired of the discussions. 4) No. Please make it leave nao. 5) More trouble than fun. This isn't necessarily the fault of the APs. 6) Quite, they're shiny. 7) YOU DO NOT W... ... That. 8) Nope. 9) Get rid of it, make post and merit counters stay. 10) I enjoy showing off how much time I've spent (wasted?) typing things on a game site on the internet, yes.
No. Well, I used to when I didn't know much. But I don't care about it now.
Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP?
No, why would I want to get in trouble?
If you do any of the above, are you fine with that?
I have never really spammed a ghost user, game comments, or the forum. I will admit I did a little of spam. But not very much.
If AP left this site, would you leave?
No. I'd be very happy, bye-bye people who care about AP. Or I mean the spammers who spam the hell out of it for AP.
Your opinion on AP?
It's useless. It was made to attract more people. It did. But it brought more spam around the site...
Do you care about merits?
A little.
Do you think you spam?
Nup.
If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do?
Take it off. Leaving the merit system. Still there. Allow me to explain. Leaving the merits still here would encourage quality posts. I mean there isn't anything left to spam so they just make quality posts. But...
Right now, it seems like, Dan the creator, will not take AP away.
Do you care about AP? Yes. Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP? No.
If you do any of the above, are you fine with that? No,I would probably hated on Ag then. If AP left this site, would you leave? Probably,It wouldn't be that fun anymore Your opinion on AP? A great addition to this site it makes it fun,and makes me keep coming back to this site. Do you care about merits? I guess so,it would be nice to have a merit. Would you write a good review if you didn't get a merit? Yes. Do you think you spam? No,but other people think I need to make better post. If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do? I would put it so that you get Ap for posting in forum games and newcomers section. Do you care about forum posts?
If you do post in forums I guess get you more known on AG,so yes.
Do you care about AP? No. Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP? No. If you do any of the above, are you fine with that? It's not that big of a deal, really. I mean, it gets annoying, but otherwise...eh. Who cares. If AP left this site, would you leave? No. Not that I'm particularly active in any case, but even so. Your opinion on AP? Uhmm...it's like dangling a carrot. I think the idea is that if people are rewarded for being active and posting, they will respond by being more active, and sharing their input. But what ends up happening is spam and high-rank players lording over "newbs", and of course, the coveted "first place". Really, it's just a signifier of who has a life and who doesn't, and who has way too much time on their hands. Do you care about merits? Not for me, but if someone else has a merit, that equates to me automatically giving them a little more respect. Would you write a good review if you didn't get a merit? Sure. Like I said, I don't really care. Do you think you spam? Er...not really, no. I don't have many posts in the first place, and most of those are books. If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do? I'd probably make it so that spam doesn't get you AP. Better yet, I'd make it so that only merit-worthy comments(of the thoughtful, constructive variety) would earn AP; not only on the game comments, on the forums as well, and possibly achievements in games would earn AP. That system wouldn't completely eliminate spam(c/p) or anything like that, but it would be an improvement. Either that or just toss the whole ArmorPoints thing out the window. I would do that, except I like the armatars. Do you care about forum posts? Not in quantity, but the forum is basically the only place you'll find me, so I guess I do. My final answer is yes.
To sum up all my answers into one, I have to say; I used to but not anymore. It's not the actually AP i care/d about, it's ranking lol. Im a competitive person but i will not sink to the level of spam. Anyways, I'm focusing on writing stories than getting AP
Most of the time, yes. I haven't really been in the last few months.
Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP?
No, that's asking for a ban.
If you do any of the above, are you fine with that?
At the moment, no.
If AP left this site, would you leave?
I have no idea, considering I don't know when this will be.
Your opinion on AP?
It's something there to keep people on the site. It's fine as it is.
Do you care about merits?
Yes, it can be a person's reputation mark.
Would you write a good review if you didn't get a merit?
If I am looking for a decent sequel, most likely.
Do you think you spam?
Everyone spams occasionally.
If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do?
Make it an experience type of thing, where there would be a percentage to when you reach the next rank. Points will remain the same, except games submitted = 50, comments = 1.
Do you care about AP? yes, and no. i like having new armatars and a better icon=more general respect, but i don't care about it that much. Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP? no. If you do any of the above, are you fine with that? mixed. If AP left this site, would you leave? i would consider it, but are you kidding me? it is the only system separating one person from the next, other than names Your opinion on AP? it is necessary, and is there for others to judge your experience and time contributed to the site, although some bypass this by spamming -.- Do you care about merits? no Would you write a good review if you didn't get a merit? i have, and didn't get one. there needs to be a second 'review' section -.- or at least a thumbs up button. Do you think you spam? No. If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do? i wouldn't change it.
Give lots of AP for merits and games submitted
i truly doubt that developers honestly care about their AP. i know no one who is both an active developer and active player on this site.
and no AP for comments
.
ok really? this completely defeats the purpose of the very existence of other users. plus why don't you go through EVERY account and subtract AP? i don't comment a lot at all, but that just wasn't thought out at all. Do you care about forum posts?
,yes, as i said, it indicates time and contribution to the site, as well as some sort of 'restige'.
At this point, no I do not. For a while it was pretty obvious that I did, but those days have ended.
Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP?
No. Nobody would benefit from me doing that.
If you do any of the above, are you fine with that?
Well, I didn't. But I wouldn't be fine with it if I did.
If AP left this site, would you leave?
Yes, but not because I care about AP. More because the people who do care about it would leave, and that's a fair amount of people in the forum, and it would just turn this ghost town into a desert.
Your opinion on AP?
It's a good insentive for users to use to be more active on the site, but I have no desire to gain any more of it.
Do you care about merits?
Well, yes, but for statistical purposes, not for points.
Would you write a good review if you didn't get a merit?
No, because the game developer may not see the great review if it's only in normal text.
I also think merits are cool to have (don't judge me), but not for the AP.
Do you think you spam?
No. Do you?
If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do?
I wouldn't change a thing, because spam issues do not lie within the point system, but within the moderation efficiency. I think the AP system is perfect the way it is.
don't think that's true, you get respect by being active, posting in the forums etc. AP does not say this. Firetail, I think is because he is #1 or something which is why he is getting all those comments, not sure.
true, but most people judge someone, until they know them better, off their AP and/or forum posts. i do to an extent, which is why i tend to respect the hierarchy more >.>

Not always positively though.. If you go to firetail's profile and look in comments, many of them are 'why do you have no life, how much hours do you spend on computer' etc. And they fail to see how long firetail has been a member for xD
Do you care about AP? Not too much.I like the rank system but it's not my main interest in the site. Would you spam a ghost user's profile, game comments or the forum to get AP? No,I wouldn't.I think AP are not that important. If you do any of the above, are you fine with that? I don't spam but if I did I wouldn't be fine with it. If AP left this site, would you leave? No,I wouldn't.As I have stated before,AP are not that important too me. Your opinion on AP? I think it's a good way too encourage people to write in the site but some people become obsessed with them and spam to get more. Do you care about merits? Yes,I do.I think they are good way to know if your post are useful to other people. Would you write a good review if you didn't get a merit? I would try to but I know that,sometimes,the merit system is what encourages me to make my comments more elaborate. Do you think you spam? No.I know I wrote some not too elaborate posts when I had just registered but I don't do that anymore. If you could completely redo the AP system, what would you do? I wouldn't give AP for profile comments,I would give 2 AP for a forum post and 1 for rating games. Do you care about forum posts? I don't care about the quantity I just care about the quality.
