yea this is a shame, Guide Moregan would literally respond within 3 minutes of asking for assistance. Does this mean the petition queue is gonna bog down even worse?[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

gotta agree with HB. I was on a guide on live several times on different servers (from resigning and coming back) and not once did I encounter someone go full retard like people do on here do. All my fellow guides and senior were employed cool and normal people. /shrug

take Amelinda for instance, it took me a whole first time logging in to realize she was bat shit crazy. Derubael seemed cool most of the time, same with Ephi so I can see how mistakes were made (not even 100% sure what Deru did) but seriously... Amelinda.... really? How in the hell did she make it past her guide application?

I hear the guides here don't even have to fill out DSRs, so lucky.

Last server I guided on was Bertox

Yup even with the DSR tool they eventually provided (automated alot of the report using your logs) you still had to write at least a paragraph or so. LOL at "if you simply logged on to hand a cookie to a player for three and a half minutes" because it so true. God forbid you wanted to "split" your guiding time up in hour intervals for one day. You would have to fill out a report for each time you logged in. It was biggest turn off of the entire guide program honestly but I guess it was a necessary evil.

The reaction of GG to this situation should tell you a lot about his mental state and seems to only reaffirm the decision to remove him, despite his 'fun' personality. This appears to be a difference of opinion. I found his reaction very immature. If you don't see a problem with spamming thread after thread on account after account, then you might really consider stepping away from the game for a month or so.

Whatever the internal struggles of the system might be, there has to be a system. As someone who does professional hiring, and subsequently firing, I know it's difficult to find quality employees. I can only imagine it is exacerbated on the internet for a volunteer position to an emulated video game where the minimum requirement to apply is having a pulse.

While guiding sounds fun to some people, they may forget that there is a large responsibility associated with it and they are entering into a system that has already been well established. Like most jobs it's most likely not that glamorous. It's okay to have opinions, but one should have the presence of mind to realize that changes will most likely be small and made over a long time period, and at the end of the day, you as the individual do not have control. I agree with HB and Sam that getting away from basement dwellers is ideal, but as it has been stated, with the time requirements for the guide position, hiring competent, successful, level-headed persons has to be difficult.

At the end of the day, a lot of people forget that this is just a hobby. While the devs and admin are passionate about P99, it's still just a game.

I'm not sure what this is in reference to, but I enjoyed GG's stories and antics until recently and have had extremely limited interaction with him.
