It's called wanting attention from people. I'm sure they don't get any in real life so they try an get it here. So they copy something that they think is popular.
If you call it copying then I guess it is. Honestly, no one reserves the right to a certain topic. If someone posts a thread about how much they love pickles, and I go right behind them and post the same thing who cares? Because I'm pretty dams sure that someone had the same idea wayyy before they did. And if that's the case we're all copy cats.
Interviewing players has been here for a long time. Someone just revived the fad. It won't last long.
Yeah but usually it was maybe once a week. Not 3 or 4 a day from different people interviewing their friends.
There's bandwagoning everywhere, from lyrics of songs, to movie plots, to forum threads. There will always be bandwagoning, it's just the way the world goes...there's no such thing as originality, it's probably been done before and done better by the person who did it before. As long as it's fun and entertaining though who gives a shit? Seriously, it's better then the typical apology threads...or the typical extreme fight on forums...at least it's fun and amusing. When did PIMD get so serious anyways? It's a game, no one here is the almighty God of forums so might as well have fun while you're on here. That's my take.
