That's something that's confused me.

I'm wondering how the whole runes system works.

Since everything is bought in tens, it seems like 1 rune is therefore absolutely useless, which puzzles me economically.

It'd be a good idea to implement some sort of Rune Dollar Store where... I don't know... maybe you could buy some aurum? Less-than-DI-Quality-items?

Just seems like something should be done with single runes...

1 rune stocks up to 10 and so on. x3

I don't get why everyone says I never like anything, it's ridiculous. Just cause I'm not "aaawww cute" about everything like some chicks. >_>; Yeah, on like Roliana that's how they are.

Ahahaha, I think it's better to be truthful than say empty flatterings.
I am picky about avvies. Both mine and those of others.
And I don't care much that mine are rarely liked, 'cause as long as I liked them my self, all is fine. So, I can accept and understand that someone says "I don't like yours". 'Cause I don't like most, too, or at least don't care for them.
Makes me mean? Okay. But at least I am mean and truthful.
If you don't want bad critiques, don't ask for them, and if person who usually dislikes most avvies praises your avvie, then it has more special meaning.

Being easily pleased might be good for people around you but I don't believe it's healthy.

e_e I am so ADD-like... I keep getting distracted by the easiest thingies.. *wriggles*

Well, it's nice if you can be happy easily, but it's usually just fake and kinda lacking... personality, in a way. If you like everything. >o>

My thoughts exactly. I rarely give compliments. I don't like to but I do if I really like something.

Flaria;; wow he is going to be really tired O.O

johnny;; I am not sure, but in the merchant square, 20 runes are being sold for 1k to users who cant afford them.

And that would be a good idea, but you can always buy MI and yearly and sell them

It's the idea that "if you're a nice person and always have something good to say, you're fake" mentality that makes people like me self-conscious and feel like everyone hates them.

Because I actually do always have something nice to say, you know. It's how I was raised. It's how I conduct criticisms of everything. List the pros, and list the cons - that's just being fair.

*stares at Flaria's avatar* ...

Not in all cases, of course, but sometimes it's really like that.

Sheesh, no not like that. We're talking about avvies here. And that some have different tastes than other. And that if you like EVERYTHING, it feels kinda fake.

I was raised to complain if it's not good. :B

Fire twinsies!

*Whew* All done!

I keep my mouth shut if I don't like something, for the most part, since I don't like to argue, but I openly say what I like. And it doesn't have to be much, it can be one small thing. And I understand that some people might like other things than me more and therefor, they will compliment those things more than I. But if you like every single thing out there...

You? Complain? Naahhhh...

I never shut up about anything. Unless I suppose I get a gift. It's a gift after all. It's free.

I can honestly list at least one thing on everyone's avatar that I like, and I don't even have to struggle to do it.

Logan got new post style? O:

Yes, but that thing has to be enough to raise it over the medium level of liking at least a little.
For example, I like how you did your hair style combo, but I don't like the color combo. So, I don't love your avvie altogether. Still, I probably have commented it sooner or later. But in others... Well, I can comment "I like the color you picked", but some are like, seen everywhere right now, and there are three avvies with nearly identical hair styles, and while they're nice, I don't feel like "omg, I must say I love them all right now".

I honestly can't read what's written there, Logan. XD Care to quote? -turns color rbightness off-

Why are we rating people's avatars? Who cares? It's their avatar, let them do whatever they want with it.

We were discussing complimenting and if "not complimenting" is bad.
I just explained why I might not do it as often as others. And it's not because I am "bitter person", but because have my own tastes and looks at things.
I don't go pointing things in other avvies that I don't like, unless subject like this pops up, because if they like it, then it's none of my business. If they complain they don't like their avvie, I will tell what I like and what I don't like.

Immamoonkin@ That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard someone say on a avatar site in a while. Yes it's their choice how to dress but half the fun is actually dressing to other people's liking. The rest is your fun. I haven't been on one avatar site where people don't wanna get theirs rated once in a while.

Oh yeah and what Sadrain said...

It's not really serious I just think it's fun.

If people are asking for advice, that's one thing, but I don't think people should be proud that they complain a lot or whatever. Nor do I think it's really nice to even bring that stuff up. It'll cause problems, imo.

I dunno. That's just me.

@Yuki: Funny, I thought the point of avatar sites was to create an avatar based on your personal tastes, not to please the population.

I don't get my avatars rated.

I like my avatars, other people rarely ever like them, so what's the point?

And I never point out what's wrong unless they ask. I just don't compliment stuff I don't like. Obviously. Nobody ever talked about commenting bad things.

Well, there I agree with, Immamoonkin, Senyuki.
I come and dress my avvie for my own enjoyment and while it's nice that others, even single person, like it, I won't mourn if I don't get any compliments on it. I never go in rating threads, 'cause I know mine are of not popular styles, and so, no reason to be "daww D:".

I can't relate very well as people usually love my avatars. :S Well on most sites.
