40k BL ID Era incoming!

[shyGriff]

This id system would benefit much if everyone was given a random 6-digit number.

in a way this could be nice because it would get rid of the "oh youre a 30k id im auto banning you"

the original purpose of BLID's is to tell when you bought the game..

discrimination has existed since forever, loving deal w/ it
when i bought retail a good portion of the servers said "banning 1k+" in their names. all the sub-1k's didn't like us 1k's.

if someone is dumb enough to ban people based solely on ID i don't see why anyone should bother with their server anyway.

What do you mean? The point of IDs is to provide an unique value associated with a player to separate players regardless of name changes. Making it random would make it even better.

The discrimination goes away after a year or two though.Then newer users need to deal with it.

Unless I'm using RTB wrong.
(ie: only certain people get the account up there (had to play the game once, had to have RTB))

Here's an idea, how about the "older" users grow the forget up. Its a real turn off when when you get banned for having a high ID. I've witnessed too many that some guy, who wasnt doing anything wrong, getting perma'd for having a high ID. The problem isnt the new players, its the previous ones. (not saying all of us older players are bad)

your ID is a 22k you're not an older player lolol

but anyways, if a host permas for having a high ID they're really dumb and you shouldn't be wasting your time on their server anyways...

[Shadowed999]

My first id was 12k, which is moderately old.

But, yeah I wasnt aware until it happened.

And back comes the topic of BLID Prejudice. I remember when it started in v9 or 10 or even 11, something like that.

It seems as if history may repeat itself.

This is not about discrimination, think of it like a milestone. Like 10k ID's being a century.

[Mr. Hurricane]

I do think of it as a milestone, but I can see people becoming prejudice in a way too.
