Even someone you perceive as an idiot can have a good idea occasionally. which is why I said that it would be a factor, not the only factor. Obviously I know a person who doesn't play much may come up with the most amazing Planetary Concept idea I've heard of, or assert a brand new idea into a weapon balance thread no one had even considered, but most of the time you just get people with lots of likes throwing their weight around in nerf/buff threads spewing nonsense and insinuating they should be the authority on the subject and know the weapon better than the guy who performs at 5x their skill level and uses it enough to be on the top 250 list cause they know best, and there's no room for opinion outside of there's. It's a regression of amiable debate 
You know, maybe a person who doesn't play as much, might have a different perspective, and a valid one as well.
You know, we aren't all kids on summer break.
I think you should judge a comment on the validity of that particular comment. If a comment can't stand on it's own, then it isn't worth much, no matter who says it. Incidentally, this is one of the principles of the scientific method. Judge by merit, not reputation, because reputation can be easily abused, and is a poor measure of merit.

I never contested that truth...did you read my comments? I apologize for not being more clear.
Yeah, I read your comments. What I'm saying is, IMHO, you should base a post on the merits of that post alone. In other words, really, you should not even know who posted it. Even considering their "rank" is a bad idea. This is, of course, just my opinion. Other's are available  |
