So..you're here for the points? Oh darn..I thought it was for the camaraderie, the joyful exchange of brilliant, pithy and informative information...the fun and games and serious stuff...so our charm, our intellect, our whimsical wit is not enough for you? Oh darn! :(
by Zack on August 19th, 2008
Its so off the charts that I don't even care anymore.
by Done. never again. on August 19th, 2008
Well, at Maestro, I only need about 3000 points but it goes up ALOT each time I level up. I can only imagine what Swami is. I think it's a bit TOO low for the levels below Sage, but the 17,000 points for Genius levels is a bit extreme.
by Kdmichaels on August 19th, 2008
It seems like it takes forever for me to level up and I'm only at 50, but I have a limited amount of time on here. I try not to do it for the points, but it is fun to move up to the next level. I know it has to get harder the higher up we go or everyone would just breeze up the ladder, but it does seem a bit extreme.

Oh, boohoo ; )
by Wide Awake @ has closing date woo hoo on August 19th, 2008
Oh man, I hear ya! I'm only in the 70s, and it's like 5000+ points between levels!! Perhaps I will hit level 80 by the time I am 80. lol

Way Way off Babycakes
96-97 I needed 21,699 that is much more than you need to make Sage.
We used to need more points at the beginning until they changed it all round last year.
by Squirrel Face on August 19th, 2008
Meh, I don't let it bother me. I'm content being 63.
by Account Closed on December 23rd, 2008
I do because there isn't any changes in what you can do past levels that go past 50. No more points no benefits of any kind. No wonder so many lose interest and leave between level 50 and 60. I honestly believe the design is a bit off. But then I have noticed that the higher up I get the more points per day I get.
by Brian on August 19th, 2008
I do- a mountain is hard enough to climb without it being upside down!
That's why my goal is to just have my level=my age.
I should be able to reach level 62 by this December. ;)
by ShoulderPadQueen on September 3rd, 2008
im not that high but from what i see....yes i think it is! you have to get over 3000 points to move up(when you get in the 80's) thats alot of work! lol! here is +4 for the cause.
by Doggie S on August 19th, 2008
Is 16,388 points way off the charts? Not really. Not!!! ;P
by .....----- on August 19th, 2008
eh kind of but its not like i mind how ling it takes for me to level up.
by Minxkitty on August 19th, 2008
i just got on to answerbag, and looked at the points & and had a laugh. I didn't know about the points, i signed up to help.....what r the points 4 then???
by Anonymous on August 19th, 2008
It seems a lot compared to the level up points required at lower levels, but i guess that's the bait to reel 'em in with ~ lol. Either way i'm just happy to be here and have such wonderful friends as what i have found here. They're the best points of all :))
by Ms sexpot Love Games on August 19th, 2008
Absolutely. its hard to reach sometimes unless you are on here 24hours a day and 7 days a weeks you can make 5000 points then.
by ShoulderPadQueen on August 19th, 2008
hadn got there yet but when i do i will prolly think so.
by Roselynn...unregistered text offender... on August 19th, 2008
I dont notice.
Usually I just look up and go "hey..im a level higher..cool..."
But thats about it.
by friday1322 on April 9th, 2009
It is outrageous! I don't expect leveling up to be easy, but, it is a ton of points. I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
by -_You Can Leave Your Hat On....- on December 23rd, 2008
im not here just for the points, but it makes it fun, i must admit, the higher the level, the longer it takes to reach the next! i dont feel like im ever going to reach level 71 :(
by gtravels loves her life penguin on November 1st, 2008
Where are the charts? I'll have to check and get back to you. But if they're off the charts, I might not be able to find them;)
by Vampyre Bat on November 1st, 2008
Not really. I get points every now and then for questions I wrote a year ago. If the leveling up diferential didn't increase we would just eventually level up for doing nothing at all. There has to be an increase to take into account all of the Q & A we have done in the lower levels that are still active.
by foxy on September 4th, 2008
Well if you look at my rating lol you can see how i must agree with you. Seems i spend most all my free time on this page trying to "earn" a stupid icon with a number on it. Well said babycakes.
by needtoknow on September 4th, 2008
Yeah, I do. I can't believe I'm still only 57. It's been my hardest and longest level. It's never ending!
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on September 4th, 2008
I don't worry about it anymore. Now when we go up a level it really means something :-)
by abby has super sneaky ninja skilz on August 20th, 2008
i hear ya!!! i feel like reaching "brain" took awhile and then i see all you guys and think i'll just stop lookin' at my lil' ole' points.....lol

Why are some people all hyped up over the 'points' on here? Am I missing out? Is there cash money for higher levels?

Have I single-handedly lowered the "Leaderboard" bar now that Bornabrit is gone? C'mon 40 answers?

Do you get an alerts when someone "unlikes" your questions/comments/answers?

When will AB update its point system? A "like" can be misleading to people who aren't familiar with the site. How about "helpful"?

You're reading Don't you think the number of points we need to level up ( for the higher levels) is way off the charts?
