About endorsements

I must say this from the beginning,I'm sorry for my English and if someone will be offended by this article is maybe just a misunderstand.

I noticed, generally speaking, that is a HUGE gap between the number of downloads and the number of endorsements given.I know that people could forget from where they downloaded the file ( although this is the reason why we have a friendly reminder...) or simply don't consider that the file played don't accomplish the personal standards but...when I look at numbers like thousands of downloads and just a few ( maybe around a couple of hundreds ) of the endorsements, that's is a problem. If the community want to support the modders then something must be done...I have done a lot of modding ( not only for FO3, most for Unreal engines ) and the same problem.

I saw ( and speak ) with many gifted modders who simply abandoned the modding because of this poor response. If someone want to play a mod for a game, after finish that mod, maybe try to think about the effort put in that mod ( time, money, imagination, hard work ) and show a sign of appreciation to that person. No matter what kind of mod, after thousands of downloads that person deserve a sign of appreciation. Otherwise, we will see many modders abandoning...and it will be a lost, and finally the death of that game.

It so simple...just common sense, if you like , show your appreciation. Everyone who play a modded game must understand a fact : that mod is a creation of someone in his free time. Is not payed for that, is not a big shot corporation ( so maybe hi could not answer to questions in due time or exact ), hi have not a public relations department and maybe had a bad day at work. To conclude, and I sincerely don't want to patronize nobody ( or to impose ) : you want good mods...support them by endorsing.

Hopping I was not misunderstood, I wish you all the best.

PS. I really await for the quote " A rating system that's actually useful "...it will be war...lol.
