Why is there a lack of respect for Mobafire?

[quote=Vynertje][quote=Luther3000] Believe me any suggestions you have about the scout system have probably been mentioned and dismissed at least 10 times before. For instance, what system do you propose to fairly elect people? [/quote] Step 1: We assign someone to set up everything just like a host Step 2: People apply for the scout role Step 3: The 'host' judges the applications, or we have a election on the forums (through polls) Step 4: Profit! Motivated people are ready to scout for guides[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Vynertje] Step 3: The 'host' judges the applications, or we have a election on the forums (through polls) [/quote] What are your criteria? That could easily be just as much of a popularity contest as the system already is.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]For example: [b]Previous services[/b] (for example: Player is known as an active scout before the new system, or having a review shop, or checking out new guides and giving feedback actively) [b]rankings[/b] (perhaps mainly get gold+ people to scout) [b]personality[/b] (you might rather have a polite scout than someone like laggermeister)[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]The major problem is that it gets boring after a while. I've seen many review shops (including mine) just die due to inactivity, being bored with it or not feeling appreciated. Same goes for scouting - you'll have to review a guide before you can scout it. But I see you've made a thread about it, so let's continue that discussion there :)[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark][quote=astrolia] [quote=Vapora Dark] ^ I was trying to get the scouts active again, but it was clear after the last guide I posted on the scout forums that no one actually wants to scout. :( [/quote] I feel bad for you. You got scolded for not following "procedures" or using the "proper" thread or whatever. [/quote] Lmfao, it was only Jhoi who had a problem with that, I think. I was gonna make more threads when I found more adequate guides, but on the 2nd one I posted I only had like 2 people respond and I think the guide got 0 scout points despite being a great guide, so it was clear scouts just didn't want to be revived, and I gave up. At least I got Totallynotn00b's LeBlanc guide scouted though. So, worthhhh. :P[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex][quote=Vapora Dark] At least I got Totallynotn00b's LeBlanc guide scouted though. So, worthhhh. :P [/quote] I thought this would be insta-scout.... <.<[/quote]

I think most scouts hadn't ever seen the guide before I posted it on their forums, after which it received about 3 more scout points. ( I scouted it the second I realized I was a scout :P ) If I remember correctly, the only criticism on the guide was aesthetics and being more in-depth than necessary on LeBlanc's combos. Someone even -Scouted it for being ugly. ;[ Edit: also my guide only has 1 scout point wat is dis[/quote]

I haven't made use of a guide in a while, so probably i'm saying too feeling like scouting system is a baby that refuses to grow?[/quote]

[quote=kT coffee]Because your guide, and that of many others, just seem like long and redundant essays with little to no interesting content. Most people looking up a guide literally couldn't care less about the tl;dr; all they want is a cookie-cutter six item build and some situational buys. Your guide and this website are considered shit because the authors of the guides are all extremely bad (you do not display your rating, so I'll assume you're just another silver/gold shitter) and they all care about aesthetics and etiquette more than about efficiency and tournament/high elo standards. For example, do you really have to have five seperate cheat sheets with names such "anti-heal ziggs" and "against an AD mid"? No, you don't. You've invested in something pointless to which you could simply point what items you build against certain matchups. Your guide is cluttered with tl;dr and "b-but muh icons and different text color!" nobody looking for a champion guide is looking for. You don't have any cred because you're not a strong player, and, as such, people will (strongly biased, but rather justified as well) think your guide and this website is shit. All of the aforementioned apply for literally 95 percent of all guides on this website that are highly rated. The other five percent are either shit guides, actual high elo authors from players from teams like Frost or Velocity or mini-guides to tournament-level builds. Add to all of this the fact that the other websites are reknowned for strong presence of popular players and the equation is there.[/quote]
