I am almost positive this will be locked, but I need to have my voice heard.
1. Some of the people that are bidding on this auction have 14k. That is incredibly suspicious.
2. It's quite obvious through a little investigating that people have multiple accounts on here for their tokens. It's quite obvious, if you have a lick of intelligence.
3. This auction was for the community; i.e, fans, friendly people... now all it is, is a horde of money grubbers wanting free crap. As soon as this gets advertised, a whole lot of people come over and suddenly register their game. Yeah, sure.
No, this isn't me having a go at BioWare, I love BioWare. Their intentions are always to make everyone happy, even if they go about it strangely sometimes. It's me appauled at how selfish, greedy and downright upsetting some people on this forum are. This is a place where gaming fans and BW fans alike come to discuss good quality narrative, production and fun things. This isn't a spam fest where you post your referral link even in serious, unrelated topics. You don't post your referral link in a topic where some forumer is talking about his sick relative.
I can't wait for this to be over, because I am goddamn sick of it. I've never felt such hostility toward anyone on this site before.
To all those people who are bound to post their referral links after pretending to read my post, I cannot wait for you to leave. Go, get out. You give our friendly and fun forum a bad name.
p.s, to those honest, friendly and polite people who are real fans of BioWare and enjoy this site. Who have either been on this site for a while or are newcomers with good intentions, I salute you for being able to have fun with the auction without wanting to go on a killing rampage. Good luck, and I hope you guys win more great things before it finishes.
I understand exactly where you are coming from Lucy, and the day that these things go away..can't come too soon. My view of the whole thing up to now is..as a Canadian I got excluded from the get-go.
So the EPIC ..became unepic. As for what people have been doing..spamming referral links left right and center...getting themselves banned on other sites, irritating and upsetting folks on other sites...to the detriment of Bioware's original intention. This doesn't make them look bad, after all posters are in the millions whose gonna miss the spammers? Nobody.
It DOES make Bioware look bad, however...example: Someone who is from our forum and knows better ..started up a conspiracy theory over at the Escapist..that the ONLY reason Bioware was doing the mock auction was because of the contest going on at Escapist.
The two things never had anything whatsoever to do with each other..but this biased person persisted in spreading the hate. Oh well.
In my daily life, I tend to forget..the seamy underside of things, but every so often, all I have to do is look at the Internet, and see..the selfishness, greed..etc displayed by "certain" forum goers and others in general.
Hopefully in the future, there will be more well thought out contests...where the cheaters and the spammers don't walk away with the top prizes.
At least the Escapist...at the end of the showdown challenge took time to remove those that had cheated by creating multiple accounts. Hence the long silence before the contest ended..as they were adjusting the votes to reflect the true numbers.
And I want to say this...BOTH sides did some cheating...just to clear that up.
Cheating doesn't get you anything...spamming makes you an incredible nuisance, and thats a tame reference to what I really think of spammers...but anyway.
