hey, i don't app a lot.. apped like 4-5 times, spires and eternia combined? (2 were accepted out of these) the rest? i paid for them because i just fucking hate apping.
it's not because I don't want to come out with a good, interesting (?) story
but
hey
I'm sorry for what about to say..
but I can't help to feel like there's bias behind the whole application system. you're trying your best, we know, but there are so many complains about how the system works..
like.. when I see Basten's application? compare him to a battlecuck when he's kind of rhoynur..? I'm no admin, no mod, i can't check logs, but the dude has been working for years to make Ilburg something, he goes on all events, does crime shit selling drugs, is involved with the stuff going on, he spends resources/time to make Ilburg a better place instead of just, going away.. and by the way, apparently it was his first app? hidden?
when i see that someone like HIM gets a declined, I don't even want to TRY and app. so I come up with cool concepts, but they never last long.. since I have no end goal and eventually? I get bored of the game.
I feel like there's a cruel lack of transparency.
Back then, when I wanted to app for an intermediate before timeskip on Zus, I was told I need at least 10 logs.. but apparently, you only need.. 4-5? Oh wait, no, you need 8-10? Oh wait, no no no, it's a case-to-case basis. Well then.. fuck? I just don't know anymore.
anyways, there are so many good reasons to deny applications
Ideally? No players should review apps, because in all honesty? If I was to review applications tomorrow? I would know for a fact that i'd be biased. I'd be more lenient towards my buds and deny all of Hated's applications (huehuehue, i'm kidding..)
but yeah, it just sucks.
I see my buds fail at application, but I don't see any admins / mods failing with apps. It could be because they're good, better players than the 'common' folk and maybe I only have access to the archives so maybe I'm wrong with that, but maybe not.
also
I dislike when we're been shutted down by mods / admins when we DARE to ask for informations on a few hiddens. "You're supposed to app based on your IC" is what is thrown at us. Honestly? It's just a poor excuse.. Yeah, we usually want to app for something that compliments well our builds. why would I want to app for an aura if I already have one? Or, hey, I'm an agi build.. does this hidden provide agi? Simple as that. But hey, apparently it's 'bad'
I'm sorry but if it's bad to know what we're apping for, then you shouldn't be able to check a hidden's stats.
