What if I sat here all day just giving you continuous xp. What good does it do you to be a level 21 Terrasque, or whatever? Does this hurt or hinder someone else? Is there a limited number of xp? Does seeing someone's xp level under their name in some way give their posts more weight?What benefit does someone get for a huge post count total? Does having 40,000 post count give the poster some value over a poster who only has 40?If we're not afraid that someone is going to spam the boards just to get their post count high, why are we afraid that someone is going to work with others to get their xp high? And even if they do, so what?Heck, take away the level under our names, and will anyone know (other than the poster and the xp awarder) anything about anyone's xp?I'm just not seeing a problem, potential or realized.I don't see it this way. As it is set now, in order to gain significant levels of XP, the persons awarding XP have to be pretty free and easy with awarding to lots of people.You could post one really great post, with broad appeal, each week, and because of the 50-cycle and the daily limit, you wouldn't get XP for the post but every couple--few weeks.I'm going to give you XP for the post I'm responding to, to make a point. 1- to show it doesn't help you or hurt anyone else. 2- it doesn't mean anything valuable to you or to me if the XP is just thrown at you. 3- it gets me closer to being able to give XP to someone else again.Edit: LOL! I can't give XP to you until I spread some around.Bullgrit</blockquote>
