I really wanted to avoid making a thread and/or commenting because my applications still will be at the mercy of those I could offend in giving my perspective, but it is what it is.
I was denied for the third time today for something being developed since November of 2023 as their first signature; and it is Sight.
Following OBC advise to submit an appeal, I was tempted to create a thread much like this. From my second denial earlier this year, I had done a ticketed appeal that was met with being told to not pursue what my character has been actively pursuing since her teenage years.

Having read other peoples comments on their experiences and Grey's on the flip side, I've come to understand why the denial stings the most. Sure, it could feel like personal slights in feeling like it wasn't good enough by their standards. Personally, I think it is the feeling of having your time as a player wasted. In my case, two months of my time at that time. On the flip, I understand the counterargument of perspective: the denial just means there's more time invested for the higher chance of the next application. This is fair.
However, it only gets worse the more denials you face subsequently. Being on my third, it is especially rough and demotivating. On this thread, there's the denial reason of not being 'relevant' enough. While I can understand scrutiny and wanting people actively stirring the pot on a grand scale, but as players of a collective game there should still be the universal understanding that those characters are the heroes or villains of their own stories in their development. Is my take on it.
Ultimately, I've resolved to just continue do as I am and make forth an additional effort. Not in an effort for the development towards what I sought, but in copium to reignite what I found fun.
