Alright so I've seen a lot of award owners / group owners offering invs to the group / award for a buy in? That's complete bullshit. Awards should be earned, not purchased. If you have a group full of nothing but kids who have a few bucks, whats the point? Also, I've seen lots of rep 4 rep, award 4 award, etc. I ask you, what is the point? Sacrificing the rarity of an award for money? Tarnishing the reliability of the rep system, for some of what you are lowering the value of? I just find it annoying, and ridiculous.
NOTE: I do not have anything against any group owners, award owners, etc.

EDIT: After a lengthy conversation with @Spook, I have changed my opinions on awards. (still not going to buy them, just don't lose respect for those who do. Also, my opinions on groups stays. I agree that to get into a group, everyone joining should pay a small fee, however they should have to qualify for the group. Ex: Certain age, Certain skills, certain trust, etc. Hopefully you guys feel the same way.

I know! It is completely ridiculous. Honestly, if there are people offering BINs for groups / awards, I couldn't care less even if I earned that legitimately. That just destroys the integrity of the owner.

Yeah, I agree with you.

I would never buy into a group, no matter how badly I wanted to join it.

I want to be invited into groups because I deserve it, not because I paid off the owner of the group.

I couldn't agree more.
All of these BINs but no Requirements for anything.
Seem's like every group is buy in, no skills required.

Awards that are user-owned can be used any way they please. Same for groups, although it is annoying. In the end, who cares? Don't waster your money to join the shitty groups and you don't have to worry. As for rep, fuck it.

I agree, I find it ridiculous buying yourself in, it's nothing to be proud of.

I could be wrong, but I believe they saw Shade was making some money and took his idea and used it on awards and whatever. It's just my $0.02

It's really dumb that you need to pay $5 to buy into a fucking award when you can buy an award for $50.

inb4 shade owns half the awards tomorrow

Definitely agree with this, there's no sense of reward if you just buy into a group. Instead you're just another kid with no idea how to spend money.

*Loss of integrity, selling out. It's a joke. What do you have to be proud of if you buy your accomplishments?
