Re: [DIS] GM and DEV robes?
I really have to disagree here. I'd be the first to say some get a big ego about it, and use the cap as a status symbol to show off to some extent, but I also think people should get something for putting their time and effort into the game, especially when so many criticize constantly. I don't think a silly pixel cap is a big reward to begin with, so I don't see a reason for that to be removed.

Re: [DIS] GM and DEV robes?
I liked a lot Patyna's idea about rewarding trivia Forum contributors. I like the idea that players who contribute to have nice time in game could be rewarded just because of it too, whether they are simple players, GMs or developers.o11c wrote:That seems like a worse idea than a vanity hat.Nard wrote:On an other side, developers and contributors could be rewarded with game items or gp.

Wasn't Platyna's dress made with this intention?
There are punishments for players who have a bad behaviour, why couldn't we have rewards for those who have a good one?

The dress I wear was AFAIK made for Aethyra, and then a suggestion was posted to release it in TMW asap, then I asked to make me a recoloured version in a different shade of red.
We have to discuss this issue more, as it can become one of trivia items that were proposed.
I can't recall that I ever had the idea to reward people with in game items for not in game activities (besides statless items like dev hat, that AFAIK, is in game). However I had the idea of items that are only available in trivia, as this is why trivia has been made - to give players the chance to win items that are no longer available in game.
Regards.

I share this idea with some players and other open source mmorpgs have it as a rule. I just suggest you (GHP) could adopt it.Platyna wrote:I can't recall that I ever had the idea to reward people with in game items for not in game activities
IMO dev cap is not a reward but a work tool. Dev cap use has to be reserved to devs on duty.Platyna wrote:(besides statless items like dev hat, that AFAIK, is in game).

No and No. I would prefer white backpack with gear icon on it.
Re: [DIS] GM and DEV robes?
Hi,
I also do think that a DEV cap is more than enough. Plus the fact that people usually accept to discuss to technical game questions, without even the need to be a dev at all.
(Just the fact of being polite suffices ).
My two cents.
Have a nice day all.
