I have to agree that the language used is often vague, dry and even dismissive.
It can be very demoralizing. Especially with the fact that this game is purposefully extremely "loose" with the requirement. Its not like there is a clear cut path. We just do our best and see what sticks.
But I've seen many application responses, most of them not mine. But there has been quite many I've seen that I thought to myself "How do they feel like that is an acceptable response to an application"
Though, on the other side of the coin, I've also seen certain replies that were incredibly insightful and did seem well thought out and helped to show direction.
An application refusal is an opportunity. It is a moment where staff can show a player how to grow and motivate them as to create better and bigger stories. It shouldn't be an offhanded slap that just throws someone's plate on the ground.
That just wastes everyone's time.
