but it's pretty much having bragging rights.
outside of getting randomly featured on gaia's front page, there's little recognition for design these days.
Depending on arena wins for bragging rights? Not a fan.
I'm with K here... the arena is sometimes arbitrary and
always biased. If you start off well, people will tank you (be it consciously to troll, or unconsciously because you were rated well). I really strongly advise against using arena rankings as a measure of avatar quality (or Gaian self-esteem, which it sounds like might be the case here).
You don't need bragging rights to have a good avatar. Make what you love. If it feels forced to you, it'll come off that way to others. You're not going to get much better than that on the public forum of the internet, friend.
