An issue ive noticed is that everything has to be "filtered" thru management, which is doing far more harm than good. Like i stated before, NONE of our managers have ever been proficient as a full time player meaning they don't understand everything thats going on in the gameplay. All ideas are ultimately up to them, and if they don't fully understand whats going on, then we can't ever expect to progress because any good chances can easily be messed up by them being clueless about one or many things at a time regarding just ONE single idea. This is why we need someone who plays the game fulltime as the person who overwatches and helps implement things, this "manager" interpretation we have being "the guy who calls all the shots and says what goes and doesnt" needs to stop, its nothing but hindering and limits potential and creativity. When i used to work on zone with alex, i felt like i worked with him and not "for" him, i didnt have very many restrictions on what i could add because he trusted me in the fact that i knew what i was doing, and that allowed me to get to where i had a lot of new content and updates lined up and done and some almost done and were getting released soon but sadly that didnt get to happen because our power tripping managers. But when carlito took over, i got hindered pretty badly because he doesnt accept ideas besides his own, and even tho i was still able to get a lot prepared, there still wouldve been delays in some parts just due to that. This is why i especially don't want carlito and chelt as managers, because we cant progress with people who are new yet are making all the decisions, heck, people on here who have extensive playtime like me, pigparty, platinum and others with 1000's of hours put in would make better managers because they have the credibility and knowledge to back up what their talking about, like Pigparty trades a lot, if he had an idea to make trades better, id know where he'd be coming from with it because he's experienced it first hand for 100's of hours, or if Platinum had an idea for basing, itd be credible because i see her base, but if someone never shot a gun before and wanted to tell me ideas or rants about pking, it wouldnt be worth my time to even listen because they have little to no knowledge of it, and honestly thats one major thing i don't like about our current managers, they dont know crap about the game but come on here like theyre our lord and savior but boss others around, and ideas are added based on what they feel and that feeling comes from their shallow pool of knowledge they have of the game, its a complete waste of everyones time and actually rather insulting. Its crap like this why the whole zone forums is nothing but rants, tashkin just had bad, unplanned ideas in general, alex's term wasnt that bad (overall he just didnt have the time, some ideas were ok, some bad due to his lack of playtime), but now we're at its worse in terms of management, we need a veteran zone player to be the one leading because theyll be able to do the job far better than the previous and current ones because they know whats going on around the game as a player.
