guys, i think you are pretty harsh
some said they didnt attack the guides, or community advisers rather, but did in the end
others really didn't
i wanted to stay out of it cause all the whining annoys me, but i guess i have to comment afterall
its always the same jealousy, complaining and whining (often enough from the same people)
"but i lose XXX$ a day, i want something too"; thats great for you, but it isn't the adviser programs fault, nor does spending a lot qualifies you
"but all of that stuff was kept shady and came so suddenly"; actually, i just knew about this since thursday when i got asked if i wanted to join, WHY i was asked again, but i guess that happened because i did pretty good the first 2 times (plus the years before ofc without a program)
that it was kept shady, is interesting to a point where it comes to people who had applied then, maybe some of those big spenders possibly to get something back for not much work?
"you all do it for the stuff", suuuuuuuuuuuure
check how many of the first 7 CRA armors were sold, or tried to be sold, so the people could get the peds for it
i just know of one, that was Jack's, who wanted to leave the game, thus sold out
afaik all others are still in the possession of the one who got it at the first place
so doing it for peds and stuff? rather unlikely
that we told them wrong stuff before, i don't really believe
we got ignored a lot though, of ppl who didnt react on our "if you need help, just ask"
and sure, if you are angry, pissed, jealous, feel like complaining and reduce the partially 10-20 hours a day guide (single ones) to a "they werent there and just did for gifts", do so, it is wrong
that we think we are better than others, i dont think so either, don't think you see us bragging about it, but we try to have a similar friendly to neutral attidude to everyone
ofc if you bug us or insult us enough it will be more towards neutral
that mentoring was better is plain wrong as well imo
i had over 60 graduaters (hey, i bragged
) and most ppl i spoke with gave up after 1 or 2, just cause it wasnt worth their time to get another alpha ME (besides, i have 17 of them in storage, 22 EP22 ME; not bragging, but point for the "after peds and stuff" part
mostly mentoring turned into ppl who didnt really care adding as many newbies as they could without talking much or ever to them, hoping they would graduate to get something for free
doubt that helped ppl staying longer
if it helps to tell them how to move, so they actually may see the game instead of quitting right away at the arrival point, that's for you to decide
that we should spent our time helping newbies and not writing on forum, heh, I just do that at the same time, didnt have any questions (although asked twice in 4 min already)
to the program
as i already said, making it more public had rather led to a worse outcome
you would have a similar amount of complainers and whiners though, most likely the same ones (if they hadn't been chosen)
most seem to agree that the ones doing it currently are pretty decent, if not good, in doing it, so i don't understand the fuss
many even seem to agree that a more public approach would be a problem
now, another example, guide contest
quite some ppl said "why not give Alice something for writing the guide", which i did alreay years ago and kept updating it
that is a more direct approach without much public involvement, yet it was suggested
and here it is the other way around and it is bad?
as i already said, most ppl said they are ok with the ones doing it atm
but i figured that had happened, jealousy is showing its face again
but flaming people who are just here to help, spending their freetime for that, that is just wrong
but i leave this as it is, spending my time posting and writing the same thing all the time isnt worth it indeed
besides, neg rep for menance for being rude, so make it 2 ^^
