So you'd rather miss out on available talents, for a perk?!

I'm not seeing the logic here.

I'd rather miss out on stuff I'll never use for stuff I never use for better stuff I use all the time. It's also like normal class talent tree, if blizzard gave everybody all the talent in the tree, there would be no specialization, I find that boring. Saying yu dont like guild talent tree is akin to saying theres should be no class talent tree, heck that there should be no class, since its more convenient for you to be able to access everything anytime.

Now we have a classic example of a pretty deep problem, my original comment is currently getting down ranked because it goes against the general opinion of the people reading this article, not because there's no argumentation in it or it's inappropriate, but because it's different (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQqq3e03EBQ is a good example). While people who are going with the general flow are getting promoted, even thought some have no argument.
Now this is a problem since if someone was to read the comment section to have a general view of the current opinion, but wouldn't read the gray out comment thinking they were inappropriate, they would think that 100% of reader think this article is wrong. Lets not forget that sometime the minority is right, when people started saying the earth was round, the church threaten them even thought they were right.

Getting your comment downranked doesn't necessarily mean that your post was spam/inappropriate/wrong, all it simply means is people do not like/agree with what you're saying. People who get their posts upranked just means people agree with their opinion.

Imagine it like you're at a conference and someone says something that everyone agrees to and everyone around him/her is clapping and cheering, that's the equivalent to upranking. Downranking is just people booing him/her.

No one is saying your comment lacks argument, it's just not what people agree to.
