    You didn't generalize? Dude, you said -

    You literally pigeonholed all AoAs into some mold that you have in your mind. That's pretty much the definition of generalizing.

    Anyway, you are right in saying we all have our opinions. It's just that comments like yours are upsetting - not because they're prejudicial or baseless, but because they spread ill thoughts about a group of people that are completely untrue. If just one person reads trash like that and blindly adopts those beliefs as their own without actually interacting with an AoA then you've done a huge disservice to the community.

    By "it" you mean the guild. You are saying we think we are "higher powers". And when we say we don't, you say it's your opinion. Well, that's not actually even an opinion, man, that's a fear. You can't go believing every fear. It's just not wise!

    im sure he just worded it wrong... he probably wasnt referring to the entire guild. (if he was referring to the entire guild he needs to spend more time with its members)

    How so? I think that the new batch of AoA's are doing a great job. If you have a problem with a member please do it privately via pm to a moderator. I would like to add that all AoA members were carefully selected.... so, you are also doubting the ability of the veteran AOA members and the moderation team ability to pick fit members? These counterproductive comments you and other forum member make do nothing but cause drama....

    @ Isaac:

    Maybe, but he's definitely giving in to his fears, in my opinion. Fears happen when you don't KNOW something so you prepare for the worst. Like when you see a snake... then you jump back. But sometimes you look closer and it's a stick, or a common non-poisonous snake. Then you laugh.

    Well, if you don't really know any Ambassadors but you worry it could make for an elite who could lord it over people, but you have no evidence either way, you prepare yourself for the worst. And part of how you do that is to give the fear the power of truth in your mind. Then you can set yourself up so you aren't disappointed. It's just a mental defense mechanism.

    The solution is to get the facts; look at the "snake" to see if it's a real snake or just a stick. Either way, you get beyond fear to a condition of awareness, and then you can do the best thing.

    In this case, the snakes aren't even dangerous, they're happy and helpful, more like carebears.

    Honestly they don't break up fights but they do auto say "any questions? I'm here to help" so ya 50/50
    So that being said it is quite the task breaking up alittle fight or a big one but as of now I haven't seen an aoa attempt at it, I do all the time but ya it may not be easy...

    Hey. I was honest in my application. The only reason would be to give out the party hats (if they can even do that). I wouldn't do anything different then than I do now except be playing on a lvl 10 alt. If I see someone ask a question and I have time to answer, I already do that.

    Again with the generalizations. You say "they" like we're all bots or something. I sure hope that you are more open-minded in real life...

    Well fellow AoA, I think we've made our point and out stance very clear. At this point, opinions will be opinions, no matter how true or false they are.

    We should politely leave the thread be and quit fueling the discussion/argument.

    @Plmafia:
    Making a really vague statement about how some AoAs don't deserve it without any evidence is dumb and obviously a careless idea.

    Also, you guys are making too much of a fuss about it.
    I'm sure this Sryyoulose guy who keeps posting threads about AoAs just obviously wants to be one.

    I've been reading applications... And they all say the same thing..
    Why do you want to become an AOA... They all say to help people or to break up arguments... My question to you guys who are going to become an AOA or have become an AOA what's the advantage of it anyways? Can't you do it without being an AOA just another player! THIS IS WHAT PL IS FOR! We help We have fun We farm We help level and let's be honest... I've never seen anybody in forest haven just leveling people without a reason! I have a MaJoR complaint... Guardians are to be trusted... Then why? Do they scam.. I traded one person said 50k and they put that in then right before I hit check mark BOOM 5k... I'm like HEY! they said dang it and exited... It was attempted scam so not reportable... However this is unacceptable behavior for AOA's who are to help!
    Ps. This isn't right yet I have no solution.
    Pls. Consider monitoring some AOA's randomly and seeing how they act.
    well Aoa people cant read Pm or cant check trades like us, they just help people new or old players thats it, the scams and abusive language is the problem for the dev to handle not Aoa

    Funny guy ^_^ I don't want to be one (Because I don't believe I contribute to the PL comunity as much as I should) if I wanted to be one I'd fill out an application bro... Though I do believe there are some people who deserve to be an ambassador and I'm glad they are!

    Ps. I wasn't trying to flame anyone by postin this thread(that's why I didn't put an names)
    So don't flame each other and thank you all on clarifying a little bit better on what an AOA is!

    Been reading this thread and feeling a bit uncomfortable. One potential (no proof presented) AoA scammer is bound to happen with having more and more AoA. This does not in any way invalidate the program and to question the program based on that is akin to questionning the usefulness of law enforcement based on a single crooked cop. Its irrational and illogical. If there has been or when there will be abuse by a player I am sure STS will intervene because it is in the interest of the players therefore in the interest of STS.

    Just report and move along. No need to blame the mass of good folks because of the poor ethics of a few.
