Points

[Boxur227]

This seems like a great idea, one of the best suggestions I've seen. I can't see a reason not to do it. However, I do agree that obtaining a MiniRank should be rather difficult.

Maybe you could implement a way to obtain regular fun ranks through points as well. You know, the "Legendary" ones, "Angelic" ones, etc. Since those are obviously better than any MiniRank, those would be extremely difficult to obtain, only the most active, and/or highest donating Sythe users would have access to them.

For an idea of how difficult, say, "Angelic" would be to obtain. If 1 point is obtained per 50 posts, or per dollar donated, or per hour online, then the Angelic fun-rank would be, say, 5K points. That way, it'd take a long ass time to get. Or, you could just donate $5k, but who's going to do that?

Love the idea though, whether or not the fun-rank idea is implemented as well.

That would essentially be selling ranks which no higher staff would approve. Those ranks are earned, not bought.

All well, just a thought. Maybe they'll take it into consideration if they're ridiculously hard to get. If not, no problems. This is still a great suggestion nonetheless.

ridiculously hard to get.

That's the point. If a point system were to be implemented an entirely new reward system would have to be created.

Support. I like miniranks.

 

[Heeatz]

Support. Bye.

Great idea, i would say this'd be easy to implement? Im not sure though. Would definitely increase activity on lesythe.org

 

[Gah]

Sounds hard to code, however if staff are willing to do this 100% support, great idea and I'm sure this will encourage more people online

 

[montana1616]

Sounds like a good idea to me I support that!

 

[LoLSmurfin]

I think it'd be cool to have community-voted fun ranks specific to the system, so as not to devalue the existing rare ones

 

I do like the idea. Can't see the harm, may bring new members to sythe. Support

 

[Rubberundiez]

Also seems like a great idea, minus the mini-rank shop. I like they are semi-difficult to find, and you have to trade/buy them off other members. kind of makes collecting them fun ! support minus that part.

 

Bump this up, speaking to Sellerman and I_D_B now about this and was shown a similar site to sythe.org with 6k+ members online at a time, we could really learn from them as they have the same kind of system as this.

Just a thought, because even if we don't like to admit it, Sythe is dying slowly.

agree completely, since mid 2011, only 90000 members have signed up.

Exactly, this.


We need to do 3 things to keep sythe.org alive and growing

- Advertise and expand the LoL market, seeing as that's the biggest game as of current.

- Make sure the community has something worthwhile, as if people aren't going to stay for the market after doing a few trades, we need the community and rewards to keep them.

- Hold giveaways. I know this will sound really desperate, but if we had a giveaway every so often sponsored by someone or a group of people, then we could keep the people coming back to the site. Maybe set a requirement like they have to have made 50 constructive posts in the last 2 weeks, which could be checked by a CDT member.

 

Can we at least get a yay or nay from Sythe as to if this is somewhat possible.

 

Bump plz. This is a 10/10 idea.

IIRC Fun rank can be given to other players (Or that's what I thought at least)

A points system would be cool, wish more people were into miniranks like me >_<

 

[Heeatz]

100% support. implement this shit... it will increase activity ffs

 

[Wae]

I really like this. The idea of implementing a pure Sythe currency would be good. The only hard part is balancing the amount of points earned by say 'donating' or by post count. If you get 1000 for donating but 100 for 1000 posts, its un-balanced. This will take some work and math and stuff, but I would support it.

I've thrown Matthew a PM to see if this is possible.
