An Unreliable Global Ruled by Attention-whores...

An Unreliable Global Ruled by Attention-whores:

I look at global for a few seconds to see what was going on economic-wise. Unfortunately my eyes were blinded by insignificant and excessive chatting that would be better off pm’ed to a friend. Global has been taken over and transformed into a world ruled by attention-whores; with hopes of gaining renown…the wrong way.

What is an attention-whore?:

(Example)

Attention-whore: -on global- WHO HERE LIKES PORN? (Often saying something random and stupid.)

People in favor of attention-whores: ME ME ME!

People not in favor of attention-whores: Dude, stfu.

People become attention-whores because they think that if they say something stupid, it’ll bring attention to themselves and bring meaning to their name. There are many ways an attention-whore can crave for attention. Some say random stupid things. Others pick fights, and most show love to everything that walks, e.g. <333>

Most people don’t really like attention-whores. “They are a waste of space on the global chat log,” --- nooooodles. Who can blame them though? Instead of doing something useful like making a blog focused on Endless-online Economics, they rather spam global instead. That’s part of the reason I made this site. If you can’t find economic info in common places where there should be economic info; like the bank, or global itself, then you always have endlesseconomy.blogspot.com right?

Are you an attention-whore?:

Well, do you frequently post “crap” on global? Most people do, to be honest. Everyone likes to be known right?

Here's a few in-game screen shots of attention-whores at work...

(By the way, yes, I know I'm in this picture.)

Here comes the fun part. I asked 10 people if they considered themselves an attention-whore BEFORE I told them the “symptoms” of attention-whore-ism.

6 said no.

4 said yes.

Then, I told them the symptoms of being an attention-whore and the result dramatically changed.

9 said yes.

1 said no.

That pretty much sums it up, in all of Eo, according to this “in-field” poll; 90% of people considered themselves to be an attention-whore.

In my opinion, do something useful, instead of wasting time posting spam, picking fights, or <3333>

I’ll add a poll asking you if you consider yourself a stat-whore or not! Be truthful! Also, next post is a new Economic Price post, so stay tuned.

Note: NEW KARA-KOMIC WILL BE ADDED NEXT POST!
