General Application Suggestion. Alongside some concerns.

[Chance]

 say you have never told anyone their development was basic is a lie. It is seen in other post to is the way tickets get responded to NEEDS to change. Its not cool at all. I can speak for many other when I say the fact that  we sit there for days, weeks, even months working on one thing just to be told out dev was not good enough is not cool. To be told that we are not significant enough in the world for our dev to matter.

I do not mind being told I was denied for something. Though to be told my dev was to basic was ridiculous in its self and I have had things I deved for told back to me that my dev was not good enough because they wanted to see more of a world significance for it. That to me is bullshit. If you have been working and putting in time and effort it should not be made to be a WORLD significance when its significant to OUR characters. The game is not to please everyone else with your development but to please yourself and to please those around you that may have helped to accomplish that development.

It seems like you are misconstruing both replies.

Nobody told you that you need 'world impact' or 'more world significance' here: both attempts for Wayfinding were just way below the standard set. Your development was confined to 4 (?) logs of lesson/self-study (which is fine, yes it's 'basic' but that doesn't make it bad), and for an advanced ability like Wayfinding a little extra is expected beyond this foundation. This could be something like travelling the world and studying important sights/working to place runes on memorable locations, or group activities that challenge the learner, etc etc. Some spice and creative storytelling! Character growth, flavorful spins and the like! This is of course up to the person on how they challenge themselves and grow from it.

I also left the ticket open for a few days in case you needed some guidance here. Instead you are cherry picking a word and spinning it into a negative. Maybe ask what's perceived to be basic about it, or some elaboration if you're unsure on how to follow OBC's original advice as well as my suggestions.

I'm not saying my reply was ideal, but communication is a two way street. Word choices aside it's important to have a conversation when you want more from the other side!



Curiously it appears you also edited out the second part of the reply for some reason in the screenshot supplied to Vibe. I'm not gonna accuse you of lying like you did with me for forgetting that the word basic was used, but it sure seems like an attempt to vent outrage while not supplying the full context. I don't know if having this discussion is helpful or necessary, but there's no harm in it so it is what it is.

& with that in mind, I will try to be a bit more insightful/detailed in future ability replies. OBC's are definitely more helpful overall and mine can be a touch lazy, mostly when trying to get through the backload as they're carrying out the vast majority of messages (which isn't ideal, it needs to spread more among the team). Will work on it!
