Well, if it takes 100 endorsements to gain a level (made up figure) it doesn’t make a difference if you have nine or 90. It doesn’t have any practical effects on anything.
I just like to add something
Making the number of endorsements visible would only show your progress to level up.
However, giving the fact that you have no information on when you level up, a progression without a clear end would be useless, i think.
Sure, but you’re not supposed to focus on the numbers, you’re supposed to focus on your gameplay and behavior.
Oh I see, If I understood you correctly, by showing the exact number of endorsements, the mentality of the player regarding the endo system changes.
With the numbers, it might be:
Just 10 endorsements more and I’ll reach level 3
Without the numbers (current state), it would be:
I just need to play well and have a good sportsmanship and eventually I reach the next level someday.
Pretty much, yeah. Or more like, “oh, i got an endorsement, nice” after not really thinking about them.
