Ok, I'll jump in on this and open myself to all of the usual insults that follow a post.
I vote to maintain the structure as is-for now. Fork and others have some good ideas that should be refined to what the community wants-then implemented. I think the current staff does the best they can with what they have at their disposal
Hawk said it best, when he said that when somebody asks for input-they basically don't get it. All they get for their effort is a bunch of whines and a load of crap-I'm not going to quote here but just review the posts.
The mentality of: I want what I want-and I want it RIGHT NOW-has got to go away. for us it is a game that we pay money to play, therefore we feel that we have a right to demand certain things to enhance our enjoyment and playability-not going to happen (at least right away). To HTC it is a passion but most importantly a business. So the way I see it-most of HTC's bread and butter comes from the vast MAJORITY of players that fly in the MA. That arena and those players will get priority, everything else will come in at a lower priority (hopefully CT is second on that list).
In case you've forgotten-we are still in a transition phase here. The CT needs a lot of "stuff", it will come, and be the CT we were used to and hopefully even better than it was in AH1. In AH1 I absolutly despised the MA, but now that is the arena that is getting "most" of the attention-so I am spending some time in there and having quite a bit of fun, but I still consider myself a dedicated CT'er.
Finally, there have been many good and productive ideas thrown out there by many people. For those with the time, desire, and responsibility-compile those ideas (current CT staff-hint, hint) and make a working document-a mission statement of what the CT will become and who will play what roles to make the CT better than it ever was.
Oh Yeah, Bug, (just my opinion-take it for what it's worth) you don't get my vote. You have some good ideas, you seem to be passionate for what you believe, and you appear to have the best intentions for the common good of the CT. But in reading your posts I don't feel that you have the "diplomacy" needed to fill a CT Staff position.
There you go, flame away
