Stop telling people to get a job
« on: February 06, 2009, 06:54:53 am »
That's like telling someone on this forums to go buy a house or to go make a baby.  You just don't say that kind of thing casually to people you don't know very well because it's rude.  I don't want to see people casually linking to the nexus page every time I come here.  If you want to recruit then please be serious about recruiting people; that way people will know you are serious about recruiting.  I know recruiting is an important thing here and this is why I take recruiting seriously in my guilds, and not just casually like some guilds have done.

Well then maybe you should all go to http://www.planeshift.it/recruitment.html and find out.  If everyone went there and if everyone who ever visited this forum was a PlaneShift prospect, then maybe they'll stop asking people to go there on the whim.  I am just annoyed of seeing this URL during times that I believe are inappropriate.

EDIT:  Sorry this is on the wrong forum, this should be in complaint department.

Tux,  I'd like to take this time to point you to our recruitment page, http://www.planeshift.it/recruitment.html

You can apply there and if accepted work your way up the chain and one day you will be able to express your opinions of having people not tell other people to go apply on the recruitment page any time they want to make a change to the policies of the project.

 :whistling:

Edit: moved it for yeah. :)

Perhaps tuxide, you should make it clear what you are talking about.

You seem to have lost everyone reading this thread entirely as to what it is you want to point out.

yes, indeed.  You start with "That's like telling someone on this forums to go buy a house or to go make a baby. "  That's?  What that are you refering to exactly?

you allude to several things, but I am still moderately confused.  now, if you had said "See: <insert specific link here> That's like telling someone on this forums to go buy a house or to go make a baby. " We would have more than a decent clue.

Just trying to help.

All I can infer from this is that someone told Tuxide to go get a job. It is a pretty lame comment player-to-player in a MMO. But oh well, whaddaya goin' to do?

He means that when someone points out any flaw in planeshift, the first response is "apply for the team and fix it yourself" and it shouldn't be.  (I think)

98% of the time the best way to get something fixed is to be on the team, so i dont see a problem with that statement. You want it changed join the team ;) :P .

I hope you're wrong.  If so, then that means the development team isn't taking advantage of the large playtest community (sometimes called the player community).

They listen but till you are in the middle of it you dont know what they are looking for to make suggestions. Yes the devs like players feedback, and you can suggest all you want, but if you dont know what type of things are allowed you are just blowing hot air.

Are you saying that the player's don't know what the devs are looking for?  What does that even mean?  If the devs are looking for something specific, isn't it an easy thing to tell the players?  Don't the devs tell the players stuff all the time?  The developers don't have a secret agenda.

You people all need to get a job or in some cases a second job. You apparently have too much time on your hands as it is.
Get Back To Work!

I only work about 50 hours a week. Maybe that is not enough.

In any case I would think, Zanzibar, the great majority of players do not even read the forums and do not even know they could join the development teams. For that matter I bet most who read the forums do not even play any more.
