Scratch missions!

1. That fixes the best problem, the only thing is that they can still share how much missions they have done. I think nobody would do that though.

2. When you click on the mission you want to do it brings you to something like an offline 2.0 editor on the website. You cannot have missions all in one project, you would have to keep clicking the missions you would want to do. When you complete a mission, it can detect that you did it correctly from what the coding is doing. (there are multiple ways to complete a mission)

3. There are lots more missions, (35 in total) and some of those other missions could have freedom in them? or they can add this feature to missions where once you complete them, you can do your own version with custom sprites and features.
Okay that solves pretty much everything I pointed out. Since you don't have to save the missions as projects that solves #3. I think it would be nice if there was a save mission button that turned the mission you were working on into a project if anyone wanted to do that.

It's because only like 1% of community thinks of follows, loves, etc, that way. With missions, about 99.9% of the community would go popularity hungry.
Where did you get this information? When was the last time you saw someone brag about completing a debug-it project or a project they made about as simple as one? Even if someone says “I completed the feed Pico!!! mission. Have you?” It would take less than 5 minutes to complete it and say yes. You could even lie. Before you say they could show/want to see screen shots of completed missions when was the last time you saw someone show off a screen shot of them completing a game on Scratch? Missions would be a fun little thing to do to practice coding and see if you can code every thing on the missions. Even if you can't you can always learn more and get better at Scratch so you can complete it when you want to, unlike views/follows/loves where you have to hope that other people give you them which could take ages to happen.

I support that! It would be a fun way to learn to code.
But I don't think showing which missions you completed to followers would be good, for reasons stated above by other people (even though I think the concept of bragging about superficial things like that is ridiculous, and I think it probably wouldn't happen). I think missions should be private.

Nobody even begs to get views or likes on a project (simply putting “be sure to love and favorite this project” is fine as it's not an order, it's just saying ou can do that). F4F is only fine if it isn't spammy or if no arguing happens.

I rarely see any begging happen, so it must be true. Even if followers can also be used to brag other than missions, just remember there is a difference between missions and followers.

Not everyone is very popular, even if they have a lot of followers. I have a lot of followers, but was I one of the featured users? No. Definitely not.

The only reason why Griffpatch is popular is because he makes very advanced projects and puts a lot of hard work in it, not so he can be popular, but so he can try what he thinks he can do and share it and see what others think of it.

I'm glad that helps!!! I think I a save button could be useful too! especially for your own version of missions.

Yes I have been on scratch for 3 years and I only have 13 followers (estimated), and a few of them are alternate accounts.

What if you never knew HOW MANY badges you have achieved? Then you can't brag, unless you actually count the badges what you never know how many there are in total.
