RE: Introducing The Esteem Score - Proposal to Add Gamification to the Steemit User Experience

Hey @craig-grant - can you elaborate on why it is too complicated? From a user perspective, all they would be doing is voting on other users and receiving votes. The calculation itself is also not very complicated. (It's way less complicated than the current reputation score!)
I fully support badges by the way! I think this is a great idea as well, although I see it as a complementary idea to an Esteem Score rather than a competing one.
I think there is already too much different angles to learn about on steemit, from the 3 currencies, reputation score, posting limits, and voting power, there is no room for esteem, it makes the steemit experience more complicated than it needs to be, badges are ok because users will already be familiar with what badges are
It's a good point. The system is already fairly complicated for new users, and adding a new feature like this will have the trade-off of adding more complexity. It does need to be considered. Thanks for your input.
