Dont think its a very smart idea, we have some Karma issues as is and personally this will just make it worse. As I think there are some members who rarely or never come on the forum other then for patches. So what they just dont get the privlage. Impressive Title worked out fine with Items being free, so why dont we keep it like that. If people want special items that need to be 'purchased' we could try having a few compititions, like race to the top of AI, find a mod alt account in a map, things like that to earn these extra rare items.
Rather then cause a hugh fit 'I WANT KARMA'....... 'GIVE ME KARMA' we have enough of that already. Its a simple action on a forum, where some people tend to get the low end of the stick, simply because others dont agree with their actions. IDK.....
Was a good though though.
