...how are Harmonix at fault for your principles of distributing points? If you want to see more Guns n Roses, they're just as valid a request as anyone else. If there are 10 bands you want even more, request those bands instead.

And it should go without saying that this isn't the sole factor in determining what songs they get, and they have months of DLC coming up that literally have nothing to do with the tool.

I'm well aware that this isn't the only factor in song determination. And I'm very glad for that too, because by the numbers we have currently we wouldn't be getting more CCR and Huey Lewis & The News, which I am totally excited for.

But, I do just want to say, I never tried to claim HMX was at fault for my odd point distribution. Just that if I had 10 bands in the game I wanted and 10 bands not in the game that I wanted, I could easily choose the top five from each list. But to me even if I liked the top 5 from the "in game" list better than the bottom 5 of the "not in game" list, I'd almost always rather show my support towards bands from the "not in game" list, in effort to get them onto the platform.

But, that doesn't mean I don't want to support the other artists already in the game, and by not doing so my votes become somewhat skewed and, yet again assuming others are doing similar things, could cause this tool that the people at Harmonix are trying to use for song/band selection to show inaccurate results.

Plus, I really don't see a downside to having more options, in effort of having better results on their end.

Yeah, they released the App in mid-December, how fast do you think songs are acquired and released?

Well, I would have put a band that's going to be released 3+ months from now that also hasn't made it to the current top 100, but as I don't have the release schedule, I figured Huey Lewis and CCR would suffice.

THIS^ is my issue with it.

The problem is you're worried about having a "fair" system for what amounts to a non-scientific tool for saying "We like X Band".

The old tool folks could game by simply spamming it. The facebook tool is both more accessible, and harder to spam, even if a few folks game the system.

I know I said I was done with this issue so I'll keep this short:

How is worrying about having a fair system a "problem"? I don't get how it can be. Please, educate me.


Now, for the reason I came back into this thread:

ELP is an option, they're one of my wishlist and sig bands

I'm totally missing something about how you add bands to your wishlist in the app. I've searched for "Emerson", "Palmer", "elp", "E L P", and "E.L.P." and the tool has turned up nothing for me to add to my wishlist. Help?

Search for Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. That's what i did.

AHA, they're listed as Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. Found 'em.

So here's an oddball question just for pondering and amusement. Can anyone figure out what determines the order of your list? Here's my list as the app displays it:
1 pt Spock’s Beard (1840) X
1 pt Porcupine Tree (54) X
1 pt Men Without Hats (892) X
1 pt “Weird Al” Yankovic (24) X
1 pt Genesis (18) X
1 pt Peter Gabriel (260) X
1 pt IQ (1840) X
1 pt Emerson, Lake & Palmer (229) X
1 pt Transatlantic (892) X
1 pt Shadow Gallery (1158) X
Given equal points, it's not alphabetical and it's not by current rank. It's not by order added because the most recent added was ELP and before that Weird Al. I'm not seeing any pattern myself, which makes me suspect a database query with no ORDER BY clause. Anyone seeing any rhyme or reason to the order?

Oh yeah sorry I forgot about the and sign. Glad you found them. Now get them on that list so we can get them in RB.

Because life isn't fair?

More likely, because the significance in which it is unfair, as well as the significance of the app in general are both pretty inconsequential.

Is the system fair? No. Was the old system fair? No. Is the new system fairer than the old system? Sure. Will the new system garner more interest because of how it's built? Yes.

The last point is the most important one for HMX.

That said, they could always sell more "points" as facebook DLC...
