In Light of the Recent MVP Threads

#1 - Aug. 22, 2012, 12:40 a.m.

I'd like to take a moment and say that I greatly appreciate you guys. You are able to post more frequently than the Blizzard employees are, and you have answered several of my own questions throughout the years.

Are you all full heroic BIS #1 raid or PVP progression? No. But I'd much rather have you guys politely answering questions then these so-called "#1" players gunning for your spots yet doing nothing but insulting other players and talking about how great themselves are.

So, again, thanks for taking the time out of your lives to help the rest of us.

Thanks for the feedback about the MVP program, all! I think the way Snowfox elaborates here is a good example of the kind of pressure they're under just to be seen as the regular members of the community that they actually are.

If regular forum members do so enough times, they are eventually penalized. MvPs on the contrary are given exceptions. Furthermore, one would think that an MvP would have a more professional approach to things (which some of them do have, not all, however) considering they, in a way, represent Blizzard.

Again, this is only my, personal, biased, empirical and humble, opinion. I am not attempting to assert or present my perspective as facts.

I've actually gotten a temporary ban as an MVP before. It was in a thread saying that aion spammers could DIAF.

It's funny really. Forum lore seems to think that mvp's would get their status revoked if we disagree with Blizzard... but I disagree all the time. We are held to a different measure though. If we aren't super-duper polite to someone, that gets measured as rude.. as opposed to outright actually being rude. Believe me. You've *never* seen me actually being rude.

Also, Äææäææäææäææ, I tried to say your name out loud and my head literally farted. I don't even know from where around my head or facial region the sound came. Definitely a farting sound, though, that seemed to leave behind foul air.

... The part where Snowfox wants to suspend ME from the forums.
