You could have a different avatar border, instead of the gold background.
1st usage suggestion: These could be unlocked like hub titles and avatars, and they would show up in Avaters in your locker. You can choose what your avatar border looks like.
2nd usage suggestion: PREFERED SUGGESTIONAvatar borders would be based on the rank you have, and cannot be changed. For example a regular rank would have the grey border, Plus ranks would have a green border, YTs would have a red border, Hive ranks would have a gold border etc… This is just a thought, but you could also have markings on your avatar border. For example, if you’ve maxed out a game, you might get a star which is the colour of the game you maxed.
You could even get a custom mark on your avatar border given by hive staff for something you’ve done in the community!
Avatar borders would have to be a bit thicker to be able to fit these things.
I prefer the first suggestion over the second one
Going off of a rank is kinda a thing I don’t want
Especially if the user doesn’t like the color
So locking a border color is pretty much making it exclusive to that rank
Which is gonna make it like People wanting Helper rank just for the rank itself or people wanting mod just to fly
Stuff like that
We don’t need anymore reasons beside helping the community
I see where you are coming from, and it’s very true. The thing is, if that is what the community sees ranks as, it’s kind of sad. Staff and Partner ranks were never MEANT to make people feel special or abuse it. I really don’t have much to say about people who are that way.
I don’t think the 2nd option would change much in that problem, because avatars aren’t seen much. Barely anyone looks at the end game avatars, lbs, and you can’t just SEE what a random’s avatar is. People don’t. really care much about their avatar.
I do agree with the fact that it would be a bad idea to have the border unchangeable, as they might want a certain style. (Even if you have +, you might want to use a grey border to match an avatar picture)With that, you should be able to unlock a border through a rank, but you can still change to other borders you have. I really think the avatar stickers should still be permanent
I feel like there should be different types of borders depending on what each avatar is
