I wanna see advisor-points!..

[Janner]

Thank you Kerol; at last someone gets it !!!!! 

The situation you described is happening most of the time.

If you want to answer a quest but find that others are beating you to it claiming is a good option. If you don't wish to claim you are shooting yourslef in the foot really.

Janner - you have been moaing that you type out an answer only to see it claimed before you send it... If you had of claimed the session when the question came up you would not be facing this problem.

Once again...

Personally, as long as people are getting the advice they need/want... I don't see how there is a problem.

There is also probably a misunderstanding when it comes to whom could be chosen as a GM.

I really doubt that the choice will be made based on whomever has the most advisor points.

I am going to assume that a choice like that is based on many variables.  Quality advising to be one of them.

People might think that if they get insane amounts of advisor points, that they are a shoe in for a GM position.

That is probably a good reason why so many people are getting frustrated about this subject.  

I advise because I'm bored, not to be a GM.

If helping people will alleviate my boredom, then it is a win win situation.

i agree, as they get their help i am happy , although it doesn't stop me from poking someone in the back for typing faster than me

edit as a new reply has been posted: advisor points don't really mean much, but i am eager to help people, i often get tells asking for help, and i help them in game too, advisormode is just a way to help thoose you don't know (yet) and very helpful for the new players

 You have it wrong I have said many times I don't mind at all if I am beaten to the question.

[Drey]

Then just make a one lined post stating your problem.

[Janner]

 Well Drey I already have try reading my posts then you won't have to ask, or make silly mistakes. 

[Drey]

I much prefer my way.

[Janner]

I much prefer my way.

 Kind of defeats the point in posting don't you think

Just an extra little thing to do with advisorship, I don't think everyone knows that the help tab is used to ask advisors questions. I remember when I was a newbie, and I always went around asking people through chat, until I found the best guild ever (Wrath of Azure). Anyway, as for advisor points, if people want to know them, they should just have a rating out of Positive (above 0), Negative and Neutral. This is just to help people redeem themselves, and the negative people can find out that their advice is not good enough.
