    GamrRank™ is your ultimate rank based on how you play, what you say and the respect you earn



    What is GamrRank™?

    Gaming credibility comes from not only what you say but what you play and what people think of your activity.​
    GamrRank™ is the ultimate rank in gaming as it reflects what you play with your standing in the gaming community.​
    You can check more info about GamrRank on their site at https://www.gamrrank.com/about
    That`s my profile by the way!​
    I have two invites left, tell me if you want one. I`ll give it to the first two who follow me I guess. Anyway, just say if you want to join the site.​

    And no, this is not a spambot post. I`m just too lazy to explain it myself and if I would do that, it would probably turn into a TL;DR because there is quite alot to say.

    This gamrank kinda seems useless if you ask me.

    Of course it's useless, just like the entirety of the concept of "game". :P
    However, there's plenty to be enjoyed from the more 'meta' aspects of gaming that services like GamrRank provide. ;)

    Posturing bullshit. Fuck "rank".

    Let your posts and actions stand on their own.


    Want to agree, but I can see the benefit in it. Like a version of those "trustworthiness" crowdsourced sites for other sites, but specifically for games.

    That said I don't think it's needed, and dislike the concept on principle alone.

    Yeah I agree with Beef. People who have good standing in any community don't need a system to tell them that they are.

    However from a marketing standpoint I think this is very smart. So many people are looking for validation of their self worth especially in the highly competitive gaming culture, so I think this has really great potential.

    But anyways back away from the marketing standpoint it is pretty disgusting. They literally call their points "Respect". I mean, I play into all sorts of epeen buffery things, like K/D or Like count, but what kind of self esteem do you have to lack to be literally trying to earn Respect from this kind of stuff?

    Frankly the whole theme of GamrRank strikes me as off-putting; it feels as if it's attempting to make a big contest out of what is for me just a fun past-time, and I can imagine most that join have the aspirations of being ~the very best on the website~.

    Personally I prefer raptr, because it gives you detailed information on your game-time (what you've spent it on, under what platform, in what genres, for how long, et cetera, assuming you use Steam and a PSN/360 account) and there's no fanatical e-peen measuring; more like someone took Facebook, added some features from Reddit and made it about videogames. Also, free stuff now and again, but mostly dumb virtual items for games you probably don't play.
