True! This isn't just a Multiverse problem; it's a human nature problem. In your average classroom, the A+ students are rewarded, the F students are either berated or supported, and the B- students are ignored. That doesn't make it right. But it sure can be hard fighting human nature.
That said, I do think this is a Multiverse problem. Because when we're looking through 'Recent Update', we only see the most recent update of one card in each set. This often leads to a pig pile of comments. Something stuck out to one person, and now this one card has a tremendous amount of action dedicated towards it, while the other 10 cards that were designed that day are set to pasture.
So, yes, it behooves all of us to seek out other cards a designer designed. But as soon as we start commenting on another card... even a mediocre card... there will probably be a pile-on. And if the card is mediocre, the pile-on probably won't be about the card itself, but the mechanic in general, which is arguably even less useful to the original creator.
Unfortunately, the only thing that could solve this problem is a complete restructure of the 'Recent Updates' page. I presume that would be hard. And I presume Alex has other things that he thinks would be a more important use of his resources. But if he's interested in a restructure, then so am I.
As an alternative, maybe there could be an easy to access page for cards with no comments (besides the original author's comments.) Possibly showing you one random card at a time, so that the potential commenter is encouraged to focus on cards at random, irregardless of whether they have obvious problems or obvious greatness. I know that if you sat me down and randomly exposed me to even the most benign card... let's say Thunder Spirit... I'd be full of opinions. I'm sure others are the same way.
I feel you. Maybe this'll help: Feedback Request.
Yeah, Thunder Spirit is probably the worst card to put on the Reserved List, in that it's the exact power level and kind of effect they probably wanted to use several times since
Haha! I was waiting for that comment!
Yeah. For small sets, I'll sometimes go through and try to come up with some comment on everything; but it's tricky.
Perhaps there could be a link for a "random uncommented card in this set" in the navigation stuff up top?
...ah, create&comment fights against that. Maybe just random card from set?
Or accept that "no comments" is an implicit "Yeah, this is ok; not great, but ok"
> Maybe just random card from set?
As I point out in the linked Conversation up there, I usually draw a booster - it's only active cards and some sets randomly have all their cards inactive, but that's something the set creator does to themself.
That said a side-wide "recent activity" would still be nice as requested elsewhere as well.
Man this is illuminating. Oh wait im pileupping.. damn my human nature
