Is it so wrong to crave recognition?

Is it so wrong to crave recognition? After reading a blog entry about TI, that seems to think so. Is it so wrong to let people take credit for their works, their time and their efforts? Personally I don’t see why it is so wrong. People should be allowed to post their own opinionated articles on the main site.

More to the point, do people do things for recognition, or for the good of the scene? People make things and write things for the good of other people, to improve there FM gaming and scene experience. This is what more people of the scene should do. GFX makers make GFX to improve the graphical experience of other people’s gaming, Cleon writes fantastic tutorials to improve people’s tactics and training but doesn’t crave the recognition some people do. There are a few types of article writers. Ones who educate and bring attention to things that are wrong about the scene. There people who provide mass articles to improve a quiet site in an attempt to bring in the punters, or to keep a good one going. Others, however, do it for the attention.

These are the people that crave recognition and why do they do this? They do this because they feel they cannot be accepted on this, now, politically based scene. People’s opinions have been enlarged and so have there egos. The scene has evolved, and people have to adapt to their surroundings and this change. You could say it is like survival of the fittest. Groups are formed, the so called ‘cool’ people of the scene, who have a big reputation. Maybe people feel intimidated, or lesser to them? Just because the people in these groups can bully other members or chat them down, and because they can stick together and show off to their peers, scene bullying maybe, but it happens. One way of getting a good reputation is writing articles etc, as this can help feed the craving for reputation and recognition to be big amongst the scene. But why did this come to this? Basically people are afraid to voice opinions and hide in the shadows, as the regulars of the politics take the front line.

There is no obvious way of getting round this, but you can make your own conclusions of this.

Marvellous.
