Badges Are Stupid

[Daltron]

I wouldn't equate rares with badges for the simple fact that rares can be traded and have actual monetary value within the site. Badges can not be traded, but rares can. Badges can not be used within rooms, but rares can. In fact, don't you feel it a little ridiculous that some people are paying more money for badges than they are for rares?

To each their own, I guess. But you won't see me spending 200c on a bundle of furni or competition when the only real prize is a badge. Years ago they would hand out a large sum of coins, a badge and perhaps a rare furni to the winner of a competition. Now, most competition wins are rewarded with a badge--nothing more. The staff have turned badges into a way to reward users for every single thing they do on the site instead of them having to pay us with something that has actual worth. I think it's cheap and deceptive, and the fact that users are falling for it makes it even worse in my eyes.

Valid points and I can see your side of the argument

Do you know what proves they are stupid?

Have you even read this thread?

Only competitions badges are wanted now. Free ones no one care

I completely agree with this. I'd rather have some kind of leaderboard or archive than having 10 badges released in one week

Oh, and I mean having a little amount of badges released while having a leaderboard/archive

Well agreed, to me.
Getting a badge for changing your close?
Getting a badge for promoting a room?

Honestly, I think they need more challenging badges (which they do have, they just need more of them instead of nooby badges).
