i agree with you
the count not changing at all when people say they rated i think i got atleast 4 to 5 of such comments.
but i ignored it because they are many others who enjoyed playing my game.
Viewing post in Those "Rate for rate"'s HAVE to go!
Absolutely, they just make it harder to engage with those who actually played the game and see where you need to improve. It's also obvious they aren't even reading my thread because they would see that I don't care if they rate mine or not (it would be nice ofcourse, its the feedback that comes with it that I find valuable) so there is absolutely no reason to play me for a fool.
I've also actively avoided other peoples threads because a lot of the early ones I looked at I could see its clearly a rate trade, 5 minute old thread and someone has played and rated 7 games...
