Honestly, I don't think I am. I'm bothered when I think something about my account is in error, that it's not working the way it should...especially if it's just me who is having the problem, meaning that there might be something wrong on my end that I am oblivious to, which is an uncomfortable feeling. (Well, it is if you're me.) The number means nothing to me as an indicator of value, but it does have one particular thing I've been waiting on for close to 2.5 years attached to it...I want to be able to change colours as soon as I can. I wanted to be able to change them from the beginning...it's not only the first thing I do in any game, but also in most aspects of real life: customize my surroundings to my liking.
Since you have to have 2000 comments made to qualify for that, if my comment counter were not working, that would delay my being able to do it, and it's a painfully lengthy goal as it is, since I'm not a maker of rapid-fire one-sentence comments, and I only comment when I have something I want to say, never just to drive up the number. (Though probably lots of people wish mine WERE shorter.) I don't believe I'm putting any undue value on the number for its own sake.
