Firstly, I never tell people the name changes aren’t possible. I tell them the truth that it fucks up a lot of things behind the scenes and it’s simply not a realistic thing that we can offer in mass quantity. Once again, you don’t know what occurs for name changes so your little sentence of “except admins can have it” proves that you just wish to be petty instead of actually target an issue.

The veteran thing, once again since I obviously have to repeat myself. Why does it matter at all if people have a cosmetic member title? Please list me the negatives as to what benefits I gain over you while holding two veteran titles. Let’s not forget, you don’t even meet the requirements of a veteran. You got it for being a G-mod. So if we’re gonna mention favorites, let’s mention yours aswell.

Third thing, I’d genuinely love to hear what you have to say on this. With proof. You have my discord and can PM me on forums.

I said “this lead to” your resignation that day. I never said it was the sole reason. If you felt uncomfortable there was nothing stopping you from resigning sooner. Instead of talking to people and asking for direction or help within the staff team you sat quiet and felt out of place. There are some AMAZING leaders in the staff team that could have helped you feel more comfortable and “in place”. But we can’t fix an issue that we don’t know exists. So the blame isn’t solely on us.

Hello, I'll be giving you MY CONSTRUCTIVE criticism today in response to your thread.

 

1. I'm obviously not the best person to disagree with this one. But, It goes much deeper than even you know in terms of what it messes up behind the scenes when a name change happens. I believe Omicron looked into it briefly and with our current system it would be catastrophic for the current and even future staff teams to start allowing players to switch names. I'm not saying it's "Ok" to allow certain people (Admins in this case) name changes, But as you mention later in your post, It could be seen as a way of "Showing appreciation" to us.

 

2. I really don't get the issue with holding a member title on multiple accounts. It gives no benefits. It's completely cosmetic. If I could edit my own ranks on here I'd remove it from every single account I own as it gives NO BENEFITS.

 

3. Staff members being treated differently is something I take issue with you saying. Staff members would only be "treated differently" once they find their niche. (Such as @Paine with me). Because that's how you build a stronger well-rounded team. It's human nature to "treat people differently" based on their actions, their efforts, and their overall vibe. I can honestly say there's not been a single staff member I would not help regardless of my feelings towards them, which makes who I "like more" completely irrelevant. There's been people I disliked on the team before, But I did and will continue to always have their back regardless as we are a team.

 

4. Which brings me to this point. Boy, This one is gonna be a nice one.

Lacking of giving credit.

This might be the biggest bullshit of your post. We (Higher ups+) CONSTANTLY give out comments to boost ALL staff members confidence and to show them that in any situation we are here. Most of the time I do it it's in PM because nobody needs to see the message other than the person getting the praise them self.

The issue with your case: You got promoted (After whining each and every staff update) then did nothing. I'm not sure what comments I can give on little to no effort.

When you were given VERY soft constructive criticism you always defaulted to ignoring the mistake/criticism and hid away instead of battling back.

In fact, Your resignation came from VERY soft criticism about a tiny overlook that you did. Nothing major at all, But, In an effort to build a better team, someone pointed out your mistake hoping you'd get it next time. Instead you resigned and left.

 

To single out a very specific sentence of yours btw:

"But, you can point out bad things in a good way instead of screaming and yelling at people"

Here is the screenshot of the as you put it "Screaming and yelling" that lead to your resignation that day: (There's a link blocked out, No extra words)

https://gyazo.com/f0...dc3432c86823ebd

 

I see very soft and friendly criticism so that you learn and improve. If you think that's yelling and screaming, Clearly you've never been in the staff chat in the old days when people would ruin something I was working on.

 

Now, Before this looks mean; Please remember in your original post you have "I have pointed out criticism on this thread, so feel free to do the same to me either in pm's or below."

 

So there you go.

 

Looking forward to your response,

Josh

That Josh guy is hilarious.

Was not saying his reply was out of context. And no one in this thread said we don't want the bonus anymore, in my opinion that's the only real chance we have of getting loot at the moment. 

 

Also what I find strange is almost ALL staff members voted no to this thread, but what's funny to me is almost ALL staff members are Immortal rank or high donators... You guys don't have the issue.

 

Maybe that's only funny to me, but the fact that HIGH donor staff members who are able to actually get drops, decided to vote no to this thread. Very very interesting.

 

Thanks for your feedback.

I wasn't quoting you nor did I say you were the one saying his reply out of context. Beers did, That's why I replied with his quote.

I'm not sure what's strange about the staff members voting what the best option for the server is, Hoping to keep the balance and fun of the game alive.

Regarding "almost ALL staff members are immortal or high donators"

 

I took a very quick glance before getting blocked out by the firewall and saw atleast 8 staff members with legendary or under.

8/23 = 34.7% which comes out to 65.3% of staff having higher than legendary donor status. So I can't agree with this statement as 65% is far from "almost all".

 

Most staff members are people who have played for a long period of time and acquired wealth over their time of playing. So trying to say that because staff members have a higher tiered donor status is the reason they want to protect the game is just reaching for an excuse in my opinion.

 

The rates match old school rates and hopefully this is how it will stay.

  Well howdy Tauri! This reply was completely out of context, I doth enquire the ownership over messages leading to these conversations over the bonus events for tob. I personally think that tob bonuses don't have anything to do with the actual drop rate of tob and I mean I personally haven't seen them help much.

 

 

 

Where is his reply out of context when in the original post it quite literally says "

EDIT: IF YOU DECIDE TO VOTE NO PLEASE WRITE BELOW WHY YOU THINK THAT."

 

He voted no, So he stated his reason why. lol.

On the subject of "Bonuses don't have anything to do with the actual drop rate of tob"

 

If everybody feels this way, It's very simple for us to just not enable these bonuses anymore. They are in fact, "Bonuses", Not requirements. I saw two scythes pop up other day when the bonus was enabled, Weird coincidence I guess though lol.

 

 

Voted No as the drop rates match OSRS as @Omicron stated and that's the way it should be (and hopefully stays)

 

Rng is just that, Rng.
