Sub4subing?? |

Source Wiki:
Media Mogul medal is awarded when the player reaches 100 Subscribers for your Newspaper. You can create it by the menu in your Community tab for theprice of 2 gold. Newspapers are the most common way to express yourself in eDominations and gain popularity. Everything is allowed to be
written in your personal news - including non-game related topics - as long they do not violate rules which forbid nudity, pornographic images,
sharing real life information towards any player without his allowance for it and insulting or flaming. Or just go sub 4 sub.

When new event was introduced to eDom world (finnaly) people started to spam sub4sub in all chat. Very annoying! Especially for the people like me, who like to read comments. Its fine to announce your article, that it can reach the crowds but now you have a million newspapers that do not have articles in it. So i started to look into this mess, as a edom newspaper writter and discoverd following. I looked into top 20 newspapers, ranked by eDom by subscribtions, the only think valid for reward. I must say I was a bit shocked.

As you can see I added NUMBER OF ARTICLES column in the middle of table. Newspapers that have only 1 article, that goes sub4sub, I marked as 0, because thats not an article. We can see that among top 10 Newspapers, ranked by eDom, we have only two newspaper that actually writes articles. From this two, one is ADMIN news. The next one is from a Slovenian player Macolar. Gj man, really good stuff, keep it on. I suggest you guys subscribe.

Now lets go for next 10 newspapers. On the number 20 you can see a Turkis newspaper, to bad its not in english i would definatly read it. And the rest is... From top 20, we have only 3 newspapers that actually writes articles.

So as we can see, if you want a medal for subs, you really dont have to write an article, its almost usless and takes to much time. Statistics do not lie :)
So i would really like an answer from the admins if is this what they wanted whit this medal or they wished something else? And I also propose some rewards for this two guys, that have subs because they have worked hard. And maybe a reward (as a weekly event) for good articles that have some good content.

In past few months I wrote few articles, got 30 subs, in last few days i got 20 more just because sub4subing. So i think eDom community doesnt like to read much and they do not appreciate the effort people are investing in articles.

Of course writting an article have some benefits (i dont dispute that), but obviously its not a good way for getting a media mogul medal and event reward.

Sub, vote, donate, comment if you find it interesting.

Good thing more of us writters mentioned this. Maybe they will start to listen or do something for guys who take the time and write for the community. But seriously now this spamming went to far.
