You know… I’m getting real sick of “CZ didn’t do anything” arguments. ET changed his algorithm. Is it perfect? **** no… but he tried. And I’m sure he’ll tweak it more… when he has time.

Eliminate downvoting? Been discussed. Being discussed. Is that more important than the balance changes or starting to work on Ep 3? All of these things are in the air right now (and oh so many more).

Things disappearing in the first five minutes isn’t because it’s yet another ****ing tattoo… it’s because people are trying to make a statement. The statement that’s being received isn’t “the system is broken,” it’s “we’re whiny ****es who want you to read our minds and make a *random* item generator put out the items we want.”

What “fix” did you want to see? Last item standing? Well, it obviously wasn’t good enough or it wouldn’t have been voted down, right? ET’s favorite entry? ****, that’s not ripe for cries of favoritism or anything. Just don’t make the item? Well, given that the point is to *get items out there*, this isn’t very helpful. There’s no perfect solution and as long as people keep downvoting everything, someone’s going to have an issue with whatever solution is in place.

If people are whining about it being “another tattoo” let them, It’s a random thing, it’s like complaining gamble bot cheats.

As far as importance of fixing stuff? You can’t compare changing a few numbers in a few lines of code to writing ep3 and testing gameplay changes. If CZ had all their eggs in one basket we wouldn’t have the 2 new forum layouts, word filter buying, emote buying or item buildr items being removed from the co-op and moved around things that we have now already while CZ is working on ep3.

And as for “fix” add more or remove downvoting to at least test out a higher number. It ISN’T the whole community getting rid of 95% of submissions, it’s just the first 5-10 people that have time to look through and downvote everything the second itembuildr get rolled over.
