STOP MAKING RED STAFF QUIT (see i can caps lock too)

oh wait, i forgot. the red community isn't the problem tho right? i'm sure the staff just sits up on their ivory thrones, making poor decisions to ruin the server, while cackling gleefully about the r99 petition response times.

theres a reason every red staff member has quit or moved over to blue, and spoiler alert, it's not because of the staff.

we'll get a new red guide, and in 3-4 months, you'll have run him off too.

Pras. You guys need to get a job and quit being assholes. There is a whole world outside of your mom's basement. I'm having coffee on a work trip in Miami. It's glorius!

why do you always type in caps?

[Recycled Children]

Having one would probably be good.

There are people who are willing to do it without getting paid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can understand this, in terms of human tendencies but humor me and think about this from the stance of a business model.

You are the CEO of a not-for-profit organization who helps the homeless.

You find out one of your volunteers has not been managing his distribution center adequately and they routinely run out of food.

You also find out he has been telling the homeless that come to that distribution center that he does not have to do a good job managing the center, because he is unpaid, and he does not care about dirty homeless people.

Do you continue to let him volunteer?

Exactly, I'm sorry but applying and volunteering for a position, and then not performing the duties entitled in "said position" with merely the excuse of "I'm not getting paid" would not be tolerated in any other volunteer position in the world.

Fighting fire's, and feeding the homeless are not glamorous jobs with many rewards. If i knew a girl who kept dating assholes over and over again at what point do I stop blaming the assholes and start blaming the girl for picking the wrong guy everytime. If you have a stack of guide applications and the ones picked can never do they're job on red without quiting, maybe it's because the wrong applications keep being picked.

But I think it's pointless to play the blame game, the result is still the same, we have a server with allot of rules and none of which can be enforced. Maybe we can stop pointing fingers and look for a meaningful solution.

Can't agree more.

As I have said in other posts, we all know that of the 600 "active accounts" on red, probably 400 of them have offered to be guides, simply because most of the p99 populace is sick in the head about EQ.

My expectation would be some defense that "most of those people have connections they could not overlook to current players on the server... blah blah.. conflict of interests... blah.."; but I would further guess that many of these players put a guide app in before they established and actually played with people on red, again because these people are sick in the head about EQ.

Of the random assortment of guides over the years that have been selected from the pool of applicants, they all have had unprofessional customer service skills; either by chance, or as a consequence of the selective criteria.

Stop trying to have mail carriers fight fires.
