Bringerofcake Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Points are YCM's currency.Imagine this: You got to Target and by a jumper for $20. Then those $20 are given to the manager who gives it to the employees who uses it to buy things' date=' and the cycle continues.[/quote'] Yes, but the problem is demand. While points are all well and good to those who spend them on graphics, avatars, etc, what do the designers do with the points? Or what about people like me, who don't use complex graphics on their profiles? While the spending cycle is indeed true and possible, we need more options than simply graphics. I am in support of the name change idea, provided it is properly implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in support of the name change idea, provided it is properly implemented. It seems more people on YCM need to offer point-based services, and those that already exist shouldn't be so cheap. (Seriously. Some shops sell things for around 5 points, some less, that's hardly even a price.) Maybe I should pay people to be active in the YCCG.

Ghoulish Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 interesting but instead of a pet to make it more suitable to the site, maybe like a duel spirit? That as u said levels up or summfin through points u give it although it would be rather pointless so unless more reasons can come up for spending them on such a thing at this point no support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Dan Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Points are a status symbol...That must mean I'm lame.Anyway, taking away points now would be unfair to those who have worked hard to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRenji Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Points are like any other kind of currency. You can earn points with hard work and you can exchange them for goods and services. The American dollar is no different. Think about a dollar. You get it by working. Then you buy a pencil for it. Then the person you gave it to gets to buy something. Same thing. You get points for contests and posting. Then you buy a banner or avi. Then the person you gave them to can either spend them or keep them.

Limited Edition KING Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I believe they would be best for name change purchases. for example mods could use this system. 1 - User donates to super mod for name change2 - User recieves name change.3 - super mod then makes an event/contest handing out the points as the main prize.4 - repeat 1-3.

I was just stating a method that could work out better and it involved points and name changes so it was still on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Guy Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I agree, points are almost useless. And the pet idea is cool too. I must support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardek Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Agree. *Supports*. I have suggestion for this. Instead of paying 100 points and so on to level it up, play a game (Anything of that, or do other things). Like a card game (Or similar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
