You don't get to ignore pp when you participate in the community. That number, whether you like it not, defines who you are as a player and a person to anyone who doesn't know you on this forum. Are you going to sit here, as a G&R poster, and tell me that you have never judged the content of someone's post on this subforum by their rank? Don't make me laugh!pandaBee wrote:

Maybe that's the real problem. Maybe peppy is right that having such a public, visible sum of everything that you've done in this game is overly reductionist. But if we are going to have this system, I think we have a responsibility to make sure that it does, in fact, accurately define players. I don't think it does, and I'm going to complain about it until either someone convinces me otherwise or something changes to fix the problem.
Hell, don't listen to me, listen to the guy who made the play we're discussing.
