So, this is… Day 3 since I came back to the server, I think. “I’ve” been working on my island. But actually, I’ve had help. suppoe built the house, lalaboy planned the path to it and most things.
\nWhat did I do? ..Hardly anything. All I did was build the docks and hand-paste my boats from the old map, with one I couldn’t really do due to how complex the build was, so I had to get a Mod to paste it.
\nOverall, I hardly “left my mark on the server” as I wanted. I’ve had others do it for me. And also, I’m getting bored. All because of this.<\/p>\n
Yet I refuse to learn how to do things on my own(as in building); things as simple as building a house.. yet also making it look nice. I shouldn’t be asking others to help me. I should be smart enough to plan everything and build it myself. Hell.. I shouldn’t even NEED a plan. I should just go nuts and have fun. But that was the old me. That old me is dead now.
\nYet, failing with executing plans has been an issue with me for years. It also upsets me, that I have to rely on others. Especially when it’s keeping them from ranking up themselves because they have to take time away from working on their towns to help me.<\/p>\n
Dear lord if I was Guest now. As the only way to rank up is…build a house, in someone’s town. And it has to be non-shitty! I even saw this first hand today, of someone getting promoted to Citizen, then demoted back because their house sucked! On top of that, you have to have two staffers that will agree to give you the title. Even if an Admin agrees, a Mod can disagree and still not give you a promotion.
\nThat feels really… bias? I dunno.<\/p>\n
I’m not there for ranks, yet people are questioning why not; questioning when am I ever going to build a town, almost as if it’s a requirement to be on the server. As you all know, that’s silly. it just keeps you from ranking up. They can’t force you to build a town, just as much as they can’t force you to become a Member.
\nIt’s just like WoW, separating me as a soloer, and the raiders\/dungeoneers. Not doing their content, I don’t get geared. But I’m not going to be forced to do it by Blizzard.<\/p>\n
All I can say is, I’m glad I got Trusted when I quit as a Mod. I feel I deserve it a lot<\/strong> more after seeing things like that, knowing I’m not forced to do that just to get to a respectable rank, that I can settle down on. I will be building the lighthouse. THAT I can do. I’ll just use my shitty lighthouse from my shitty map. Maybe people will like it. Or maybe they’ll beg to help me make a better one. But I will refuse their help, and remind them… that THIS is why I will never be Councillor. Builds like this will not be welcome to the eyes of picky Mods to get that title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, this is… Day 3 since I came back to the server, I think. “I’ve” been working on my island.

\nI really don’t know what pisses me off more, though; the feeling of using people for things I should be doing myself, or this god damn AFK timer that’s similar to WoW’s. ….Definitely the AFK timer.<\/p>\n
