So season 13
I have mixed feelings about it. So let's start with my positive thoughts. Of course most of you will know that there's a few things that resemble my ideas for other concepts I have. A knight themed ...

@DK9027 I'm confused. I always thought you posted your ideas for people to see and use. But you seem upset they did something similar.
One thing to remember also- There are billions of people in the world and many have similar ideas with many of those ideas being influenced by something else the person saw. Your ideas are likely influenced by other things. Perhaps you are this to them or maybe it's just a coincidence. Either way you seem to enjoy doing it so I say keep going and be flattered they did it in a similar way.

@hayhor I have no problem with people using my ideas if they get in touch with me for permission, much like someone who drew something and would rather people to ask permission to use it in something instead of using it not asking at all. And yes I put these out here for others of the community to see and take inspiration, I love sharing with the community.
When it comes to a large company however I probably am just a bit paranoid about this sort of thing and most likely a coincidence. And if it happens that they did by some situation they saw my stuff and took inspiration then that's awesome. I'd just like to know "hey man we saw your stuff and it inspired some really great ideas, you did some really awesome stuff." That be alright. But like I said I probably am being paranoid.

@DK9027 Not really paranoid imo, If anyone remembers, a fan pitched the spy glass passive for Pathfinder, and were about to a revised version of that in season 14, but it won't be on path.
I agree with @hayhor If you like doing and sharing your ideas, by all means do so. I have seen and read some of them and they are nice to read, you put a lot of effort into them.
As far as EA, your Idea's and NC go. one has to remember that the use of the Forum and what you post here is in a legal swamp. I do believe that the posts are the property of EA (someone correct me if I am wrong), so that would then make your submitted Ideas theirs. Also if I am wrong about this unless your Idea is trademarked it gets a little sketchy on theft of intellectual property because you put that out there for all to see.
Do you think EA put a creators corner section here for us to just have fun on. NO way did they do that solely for our pleasure. There are CM's and Devs that look at that in order to help their own design departments out with possibilities to work off of.
Do I think that if EA based a game design part whether it be, Legends, parts of a Legend, Map, gun, abilities etc etc. That they should at least give a nod to the person/s that helped them along. Yes I do think they should give that nod and or some credit.
Keep having fun and being creative, who knows, we could all benefit from some of that one day.
@Asmodeus566 Post do count as ugc "user generated content" 5. is the only 1 that matters in this convo ... I think . Whats Iffy to me is Respawn devs said in the past that they don't want to use Public ideas "theirs nothing wrong with using them imo, Warframe has done it several times, but I guess it's a matter of legal acknowledgement"
Scratch that, #3 is also relevant "defines usg in EA's eyes"
