Thanks @H

This is going to come in handy for me as my next move is completionist cape

Hey DMGDaddy , welcome! I would say you've already made quite the entrance 

aint that the truth hahaha

Hey man, while I understand your frustrations, no one person is above the other. Everyone has their strengths and everyone has their weaknesses. Kareem is new to the staff team, and still learning. Instead of coming to the forums to publicly bash the guy, why not help educate him as well? When I first started as a staff member I was still learning the game also. Let’s chill out a little bit.

this is not to bash anybody at all, this is to shed light to situations I've noticed. It also seemed to help Kareem out as he's now become much more active in the yell chat, and alora cc. He's also answering questions with the quickness. Maybe he didn't realize he had areas he was lacking in ? it's our job as a community to open up about concerns with staff and that's exactly what this feedback section is for. It's a little bit of a cop out and a lazy answer to say "everybody is human" when we have a TON of capable candidates for these positions.

I also feel as if this post was nothing but chill. I worded it with professionalism and honesty. There is no emotion behind my statements, just observed facts.

I agree, with staff members like To Gain, who to the community only logs in, mutes, kills potential new players but instead they leave because they get tilted by getting pked by a gold crown, instead of getting assistance from staff, they are set backwards. This gives the entire staff team a bad look to those players instead of just the one who is too lazy to make an alt account that is unranked. Pking is a part of the game, but you have to have some sense when it comes to it. Alora is largely an ironman server, not pk server. They come here to visit the content for irons, and starting at revs is a good place for GP. I dont know Kareem, or if he is good or not, but the slightly incompetent person who said hes just human is just enabling him. As a staff member, you should have a large amount of knowledge on Alora to be able to aid people, read the title of his staff position if you are still confused. To say "hes just a human who makes mistakes" is quite literally a dense comment. He is supposed to help new players, and old players alike. Back to To Gain, if baffles me he hasn't been demoted. He has a very large ego problem that reflects onto the staff team, and i have had certain situations where he abused his staff rank/power. For example I pm'd him saying my account was dc'd near KBD and it was black screened. It was a new GIM and he did help me, which i can't deny, but first he made sure to pk my account. Aswell as a recent incident where he died due to poor 1:1 coding of multi to osrs, he used his staff rank to get a refund, even though on Alora the multi icon was there, and you would be fully aware you were in multi. When he killed me due to a bug, he didn't refund my items (the bug was i planted a seed under him and didn't move, forcing me to be stuck where i was.) I didnt even ask for a full refund, just one of my spec weps back since i was low on them, and he replied with "nah im keeping a collection." I have also seen him abuse the singles plus timers in Rev Caves and has pj'd fights, and even took a kill on me off another pker somehow pjing the middle of the fight. Now it is my word against his, but there are many other people im sure he has done this to. Ivy, 2, Not Shadow, Arosa, and Lucifers GIM were the only staff members who actually did a good job during my time playing. Helpful, took time out of their days to figure out a problem with me, and if i had an issue instead of saying ::report, they just tp'd and saw what was going on first hand. To Gain, and a few others would respond with "::report" to the point where I just stopped messaging them. 

although I don't want to dive too deep into this one, I completely agree with your comment and its extremely well thought out. I would say i whole heartedly agree with every statement in this paragraph, especially concering To Gain. I've noticed his abuse of power and have also made mention of it a few times. I have ONLY ever seen him talk down to people, talk back or mute individuals. Hoping to not get muted myself for this comment, but respectfully he doesn't seem too caring of an individual for the community; I haven't had many experiences with him; and I am fairly new so i'm not sure what led to his promotion, but I'm unsure it was the right move. I've watched people quit the server because he says "enjoy your 30 minute break" and mutes them. Usually because they disagree with something he's saying.

Kareem be like

 

Regarding your second point;

I agree, there's quite a few outdated guides that we need to update, however players are free to make guides too. I have a list of guides I want to get around to making, however I've been quite busy with other stuff, I'll get around to a few of them eventually.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

ahaha, it ain't fuck kareem guys. I got no personal quarrel, just making observations.
