How many mistakes has homelesswitch made? *cough*

And I seriously don't see why snk doesn't do anything. Everyone is seeing that this server is going to wrong way. What was my first post on the hirings page? "don't hire people you're going to fire in a week again ;)" and sure enough....

Era will end up one of two ways if this keeps up.

1) we will have staff hirings every other week and the server will eventually fail because of misguided guidance

Or

2) staff will end up like classics where the staff has absolutely no freedom to interact with players at all.

I'm seriously saddened era is turning out this way. I remember the first months of era, everything was new. Was fun. Staff was constant. A year later and it seems we've taken a step back. Not one forward :/

Guess what? Snake Rekon just quit, another very good developer gone.... The reason was

"Some things have changed in era and I don't think I like the path its taken..."

:((((( Stupid Era

If there was a "Like" button, I'll press it

Gilgamesh wrote something very touching :(

What?!?!? No! Snake is a beast :(

Why do i feel this is related to staff quality?

In era, the staff are held to a high regard. If a staff member gets off the hook for giving stuff away to their friends, what kind of message does that send to the players?
Nub: "Oh, if i get hired and can give lightsabers to all my friends? Sweet!" (Exaggerated example)

The staff know what's right and what's wrong, or at least they should.

Highly doubt it.
Stop spreading stuff without a proof.

I 100% agree and have been saying this for months.

Yeah but there sadly is no way to change this. The problem is that the requirements of and the admin - job itself have changed a lot. From seriously helping player's and (mostly) respectful messages it has evolved into placing statues, getting spammed, doing weddings and such stuff...

New PR's are limited even more so that might also ruin the remaining fun of being an admin. Being monitored by admins, rated by both and spammed by players is not helping to like the job. It looks cool to be an admin but IT IS NOT. It is serious 'hard' work and not all of the 10-20yo we have hired knew that or could live with it. We must enforce the rules and punish abusive admins hard. Else we would end up like some other corrupted servers...

There might have been some... "misunderstandings" but in the end we only try to give you players the most enjoyable game experience.

Yes. Being hired means it's a job. That means it's work. Being an admin isn't/shouldn't be just about hosting events and then having private get-togethers with a small group of your closest friends. Those things should come after the needs of the players. NEVER before. There's a time/age where a kid just wants to play games. That age is too young for a staff position.

Thank you for pointing that out. I have to admit that I don't even 'play' era as I got no fully working iDevice. That might be reason I never had an intention to ever abuse / give away items... O.o Beside that I'm way older than the average player.
Sadly that is something most player's don't think about when they apply. They only see the power / fun admins 'might' gain. :>

As I'm just a PR and not PRA or something I don't know how they read / judge applications hence I should not talk about it. I doubt it's an easy task.

Well put

Tink FTW xD

She hosted a party just cuz someone got 1000 hours? Lol. And she announced it twice.

In my opinion. Events should be rarely going on with all the harassment and crap that goes on in era. The job of a PR should be to keep the game enjoyable for people to play, not have fun themselves. Just my 2 cents
