My take on this is, my main gripe at this point is not being told how to progress in terms of devving for a specific ability. I’ve been denied for a personality mismatch for something (not naming neither signature nor character), which didn’t help when the first signature app attempt I did for the ability was met with basically a “no, it’s too important, and you don’t qualify” with no further explanation.
I don’t really mind denials if they give concise reasons (IE the discord embed problem making one app of Artisan get denied, which I was unaware of up until I got denied, which was then corrected with linking actual apps as requested; other apps I’ve been denied for I’ve gotten pretty fair reasons, other than aforementioned), but my major pain point is just being told no and that’s kind of it.
I’m also somewhat concerned about status of apps for characters I’m returning to after some intense IRL and burnout/mental breaks caused me to pass up on a good OOC month or so of IC, but I will cross that bridge when I get there— I’ll need to understand what the precedent is there, so people get what it is that happens in those scenarios.
Also, on a slightly tangential note, with the advent of rush dungeons and etc, I’m leaning towards the “get a master sig for free for hitting RPL 230” to be a somewhat bad thing. Especially when I have seen people pivot from doing little to nothing, only to grind out PvE content and suddenly they’re 230 and have a sig now by default— this may be me waving my cane at the air after having to get approved via forum across all 3 of my major, “main” characters (Harper— Holy Lightning, Na’Ria— Nullification, Imperfect, Shevaun— Nephilim, Wayfinding Warp, mind you this was when being a Nephilim at all was a role app to just have the heritage and a separate app to awaken, which seems to have fallen out of favor now that form apps and emporiums are more prevalent than ever), but it feels kind of bad to see people waving around masters and even mythics for a seemingly “by-default” deserving quality.
Feel free to disregard my comments, my opinions aren’t worth very much. Just personal thoughts to delay myself from doing my job.
also please make item apps progress a little faster, I like commissioning icons and want to see them used.
