My two cents on this topic.
I like Glawi and I feel like hearts stand for something else.
They’re not a ‘thank you for existing’ or an ‘I like this person’ so let’s give her/him a heart. It is something that gives us an easy way to differentiate between hundreds of posts to pick out the good ones that are worth checking out. Not a way to try to fulfill the need for attention people so desperately crave (this is a general statement, not per se applicable in this situation).
You give hearts it to a post itself, not to the person. When someone posts a good guide, gives an insightful answer to a question or provides a lot of information with solid references or a scientific foundation you give it a heart. This way everyone can quickly see whether the post is worth a read or if it is off-topic/biased. This “celebration” you like to do goes straight against the sentiment of an information-based website like the realmeye forum.
So, while I personally like Glawi, I would like to advise caution against these kinds of practices. Give him your love by organizing an in-game event or another fun thing. I’m sure he would appreciate that more as well
