No new guardians picked in a while?

[Aikiebo]

[QUOTE=NECROREAPER:495950]

In no way shape or form does it say it's *required* for them to help out after they get the commendation,

there'd be dozens or even hundreds more of them running around.

Totally agree with both these points. I'm not for sure who you are thinking of, but I never suggested that GoAs were required to do anything. I don't know what makes you think I think that.

I know in the past, that some players in-game have asked that GoAs settle disputes and such. And of course they have no responsibility or authority to do so. And when people on the forum said that they didn't have that authority to do this, I agreed. GoA is not a position of authority, I agree.

[FluffNStuff]

Can anyone prove that I have been helpful? I know I can't.

Oooh ... sorry, Feds were asking too many questions so I had to delete the photos of you helping me bury that ...carpet wrapped package.

I originally posted this in my retirement thread, but I feel its relevant and needs repeating.

STS, you may wanna rethink the GoA/sg program, I know I can't be the only person who has felt alienated by it, knowing that you in all rights have deserved it, only to watch everyone else time and time again get it, but not you. I may not be as active as I used to be, but up until recently I was on for 4-6 hours a day, and quite often, more than that, exemplifying everything GoA/sg stands for. And before people start "well if you want to be a GoA/sg, you never will be". That's bullcrap and you know it. I help people because its how I am, and always have been that way, and because I hear about something being given to people for doing all the stuff I had already been doing, and then wanting it also, means I shouldn't get it? Seriously STS, I'm sure more than just me feel this way.

The program has become rubbish. I am not an angel and I can be unfriendly, a jerk, and down right harsh. I've helpful and done quite a bit here for the pvp community, which gets the least help and attention.
I do have a great deal of respect for certain and very specific guardians, and others hold very little merit in my eyes. Got tired of seeing brown nosers in the forums, people with very little experience and knowledge just being facile with their sugar on top posts which seriously add nothing to the conversation. Then I see a someone standing around trying to "help" people, you know, the types that do it for a day or two, get reognized somehow and get the title and are never seen again. So many new players without any real working knowledge of the game are clammering to be a GOA.
Time should be a factor. Anyone can come here post in every single thread in green font for a couple weeks and get it... Then never be seen again. It does undermine the program. And I 100% agree with WhoIsThis and many others.
Many names that have been thrown out here, who are they!? The only ones I think should be considered are Gluttony, WhoIsThis, and Siejo. No offense to anyone who thinks they should personally be one too.
Lately I've decided to speak more boldly in my posts. So tired of everyone acting and being overly kind and helpful. You can't even write a friendly funny post without the proper police quoting you and everthing else under the sun to prove what?
A guardian should have a wide range or intel on many different aspects of the game. From low level twinking to end game pvp, to the cs, the pinks - their prices, where they drop. Know history of the game, be an older player. I've been here a year now (ig) and I sure don't want to see someone who has been here a month be a GOA, how can they possibly help me? Or other like me or older than me. Guardians should be able to understand and help all, which I do not see in many. Time should be a factor. You can't possibly know enough about pl in a coupke months, even if you did get from lvl 1-65/66 in that time.
P.S : if you wanna be a GOA, find me in game and pvp me 1/1 or ctf vs my team. I'll show you what you don't know

[Moogerfooger]

Not starting a war just pointing something out so dont kill me please. I havent really seen MoogerFooger helping. Maybe im wrong? Please correct me if im wrong. Idk. Maybe I just dont see him helping

Glad to see that I had to hear someone talking about me in game from a friend. I talk to people a lot in game, Cascade, and try to help lowbies in AO2 with tips and gear suggestions when I get bored on go farm Plasma Pyramid. I have given away hundreds of pinks in AO2 and AO3, for example, to people with crummy gear. I randomly buy pinks in CS and give them to ppl I know are looking for something. Just because I am not on here posting 20 times a day doesn't mean I am not helping, just like the dozens of other players that are very helpful/active in game but are not on the forums so much or have 4000+ posts. When Phys and Yanis were around, I posted tons (along with Phys, my forum mentor) on Archer gear and mechanics, discussed about everything that came along archer-wise. I check in on WhoIsThis's threads, the person who I would nominate if I could (and Gluttony as well). I'm not special, and am flattered that a few peeps think I am ok...but I only post on topics that I actually might know a little something about.

Look at Rosettes aka Petrichor. GoA who has like 70 whopping posts on the forum or something. But one of the nicest, most helpful players IN GAME that I have ever met.

Before I met her in game (and not on the forum) I never stopped to help people lower level than me very much. After seeing her and how she tries to help people in game, and making me remember how I liked/appreciated it when I was lowbie 35 and those big bad 50s in Rift gear would give me tips, I do what I can in game. I don't believe in making guides for the sake of making guides...I just try to pitch in on convos I might know something about, when I can.

Peace out. See all of you in game.

[Moogerfooger]

Gluttony is long overdue.

And WhoIsThis (aka Attackelf/AttackAvian in game). Awesome player with a fountain of PvE, PvP and mage knowledge. Long overdue for both.

[Moogerfooger]

made me lolz for real.

Stomp, I always know that when I see the RevSquirrel that somethin' funny is about to be said....

[CrimsonTider]

I am sorry Mooooog. You have now triple-posted and have failed to meet GoA requirements due to the inability to use the "edit" button. May you forever burn in hell.

I am sorry, I did not feel like trying to stuff three different quotes in one post because then my post would be too long and convoluted and covering too many things, and I would not want my favorite Alabama fan from Tennessee's brain to asplode trying to comprehend my forum editing ninja skillz

My heart burns for you, or it may just be the greasy tacos I ate,
Moog

Glad to have finally gotten to know you more recently in game. I wish you luck as you enter the world of end game pvp/ctf. Ill be glad to help you.

This^^^

I chuckled to my self because it's the same exact thing I've been thinking ever since it happened

[Swimmingstar]

Sorry if I am misunderstanding you, but are you seriously asking for proof that persons like Gluttony, Moog or WhoisThis are helpful on the forums?! :O
Look around!

Yes, I am. Tell me your opinion on how they are helping and make 3 examples. You can even type up an essay.

EDIT: The green font? ...you reminded me. That guy barely posts now.......
And I agree with a lot of you, helping in game is more helpful than helping on forums. More people play the game than people that have a forum account.

So those of you who want to be a GOA, forget about posting some "helpful" or useless posts. Go get your char and start helping in game. Remember Shakespeare's magical way to be a GOA? It didn't just include posting. It also included being helpful in game. So I would like to see some nice people in game that are helping new people out. If you want to be an AOA without being an AOA go help in game with a lower level character. You don't have to be a GOA or AOA to help in game and on forums. Well I hope to see some 5-star nice people and helpers in-game in 1 hour. Don't try to forcefully help people either. There are 7 billion different perspectives in the world about everything so some people might think they don't need help. If you want to clear rushers out of PVP, then teach the low level characters not to rush. If you would like the game to be all nice people then go tell people in-game being nice is good. Explain to them being nice is a benefit. Not only to others but to themselves.


As you all know I usually don't type posts this long. So I shouldn't try making more good things you could do to help. Find them out yourself. Good luck, have fun. And bye...

[Roc]

No one can predict the future (except...<insert person you know> ) so I don't see anything wrong with giving someone a title based on their actions from the past till the present. If anything, people take breaks so it's better to have many qualified people so that when so-and-so takes a break there are still helpful peeps around As for the "Who is qualified?" issue and the "qualified not being recognized" conundrum, I suppose it goes back to the larger question of "Does altruism exist?"........and I like to think it does Have fun, play nice, be nice, and if something comes of it then something comes of it but if nothing does then nothing does

[Moogerfooger]

Moog for President! Haha.

Werd. I am thinking there will be a lot of learning needed, after seeing the results of my first forays in da PvP world. Noobynoob > this guy.

And be benevolent like I heard Mooger is!

Cool bro thanks for clearing it up. I'll be watching you. :0

[WoundedEagle]

[Cascade]
