Spirit of DMG Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Why is it that half the threads I've been to with more than 2 comments mentions "Overused pic" as a complaint, and then the rate goes down? Do you actually count the number of times you see it? And exactly, how many times can a pic be used before its "overused?" Seriously, do you think members of YCM have nothing better to do with their day than go through every single topic in every single section and count the number of times they see each and every pic? No, really, why do you care so much about it? No matter how many times I see "Overused pic" in the comments, its usually only the first or second time I've seen that pic. And its usually a newer member who gets that comment directed at them. You really think they know? Or better yet, you really think they care? All they know or care about is that They have a pic, they like it, they think it works for their card. End of story. And really, the moral of this children's story is: So called "Overused" pics aren't bad. The fact they are "overused" means nothing more than that they work for a lot of cards. Period.

Catman25 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It's just people grow tiresome of the same pics, affecting their overall judgement of the card. I think it's quite unfair to be honest. >.< Just rate each card individually, not compared to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theseus Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Â But seriously, if this is what I think it's about, then you need to quit complaining, and use some more original pictures. Avoid pictures that you've seen before, unless you want to improve someone's concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit of DMG Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 That's the thing though: Do you think people on YCM have nothing better to do than go through every forum on YCM and count the number of times each picture shows up?

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Just use that one JazinKay archive. It has a huge amount of fairly good pictures so any given one shouldn't really be overused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayy lmao Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 It's not a matter of counting them, it's the actual fact you've seen them too many times, so, your last post was irrelevant. Stop whining and grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloister Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 If the pics are overused that must mean the pics are good, right? And I don't give lower rate IF the pic is overused, which I don't see a pic can be lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womi Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 The problem is, that your cards should seem like they're real.But if there's a pic you've seen many times before, it destroys this illusion and the card looks bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important thing about the pic, and which I sometimes judge, is how well the pic itself fits the overall card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Pics in general shouldn't matter when creating cards, but right now I'm far too concerned over the fact that you have an avatar from the inferior FMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyfe. Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 The longer we are on the site, the more cards we see. The more cards we see, the more pictures we see. The more pictures we see, the more we see them on cards. The more we see them on cards, the more we want to see new pictures. The more we want to see new pictures, the more we complain. The more we complain, the more noobs complain about our complaining. The more noobs complaing about our complaining, the more Metallica. wants to continue the chain o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
