Well... you see, there is this thing called individuality, and people typically go for it until the cost of doing so jeopardizes their chance of winning. Unless they're a bad***, in which case they jeopardize everyone else' chances of winning.

Oh, and: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ly

BADLY.

As in: "Before you came into my life, I missed you so badly."

Not: "Before you came into my life, I missed you so BAD.

I didn't choose profile pic bec theres no gunslinger pic and every pic have been taken dosen't give differenation to each user.
I guess player want fancy looking on their profile i guess......

"Well, there is also this, eh, "trend" of labeling people without profile pictures as "noobs".
As ridiculous as it might sound, it's often true (judging from various internet forums and discussions)." - Koffin-Kat

If someone were to tell me that they didn't read my post because I don't have a picture, it would say more about them than me.

"noob or not, it suggests laziness..." - Larry

Tut tut tut... I would never have thought you would make such a ridiculous claim, Larry. Really, I am disappointed. Want to know how much it suggests? Nothing! Zilch! Zip!
Funny, isn't it? Oh also- I will judge you on your post, Larry, and say that you probably didn't think your post through, and I will be looking for this more closely in the future.

On a more serious note.
Everyone uses pictures. More specifically; pre-defined pictures. I can see why this would be preferred over having to ban people because of their profile picture, but if I were to have a picture, I'd like to decide it myself thank-you-very-much (though pictureless works too, quite happy with that, actually).

Anyhow.

1. I've been posting without a picture for a while now, and I found that posting without a picture is a form of diversity, seeing as more people post with than without.

2. It is easier to look for a post without a picture while scrolling down (in my opinion). I guess this is sort of related to the above statement.

3. Posts without pictures can get smaller.
Take Larrys one-sentence post as an example. It would have been slimmer hadn't it been for his picture stretching it. Harienders post uses two lines of text but still has a slimmer post than Larry. Now, you might argue that the extra space creates some air between the posts, but I think there's enough air already (all down to what you like really, I prefer minimalistic).

4. Conversation is over here anyway, and judging based on picture / no picture and not content really is beyond bloody stupid I'd say...

"I love the Cobalt line. Cobalt players look like player that I can put my trust in (even though it is highly the opposite). The Cobalt Armor line resembles a strong, confident knight who is a good leader in parties. Basically, Cobalt line defines LEADERSHIP!"
