Yeah, followers do jack shit in D2 workshop. If only following would show the items in the activity tab or something like that, that would've been great addition.
Um don't do it? Its basically giving 2-5% of blind votes. Meaning, the followers will upvote/downvote it because of the person instead of item quality.
This! Also, those who have followers, attention..etc. They put a lot of effort into it and came with time. I say, learn from them, and do what you can to improve visibility. A good example is Prostomogy. The guy never gave up and is just hitting the stars right now.
No matter what will be done it will always be unfair for as long as artists will allow it. Officially or under different accounts organizations will be able to influence votes displaying hotlinks to specific items in workshop on their sites/blogs etc. To be honest I saw how much followers are worth in workshop. Many…
"It's so easy to blame people or the system when an item you post doesn't get the reception you think it deserves." ^ I agree. The first item I made made it up to first page for a few days, and that got me super excited. It helps being popular but you can still make it to the front without any followers!
As for people talking about workshop contributors with followers etc. Most of the people I think of when you say that are people who worked there ass off promoting there stuff and building that following. Those groups didn't just happen overnight. p.s. I hate it when people complain about things being a "popularity…
I guess there's no control on the publicity, I mean if your have a 10k followers in your facebook page and put your itens submittion there for everyone see it's publicity. Dota Cinema's Sven set was something close to that, they have craploads of subscribers, and they kept doing the adversting about the set. I can't see…
Yet you would be surprised at how many companies DON'T follow what they're talking about. I agree its nothing new, its more like common sense. But a lot of companies do the complete opposite and don't care about user experience at all. They're more about the money and that greed leads them astray from making fun games,…
I'm not really a big fan of that. People might mainly browse through the higher section because nobody likes to scroll through a lot of low-quality items to pick out the gems if there was a system already doing that for you. I fear the result could be that the already successful contributers who got a lot of followers…
I can see how it could be a misunderstanding and all, but where does he gets the votes then if not from scammed accounts/bots? He doesn't have a following on Twitter, and the only other media where he can apparently promote the items is through streams, but have anyone ever seen he promoting it? Also, if he is just…
