A long long time ago, I joined the forums and started posting messages occasionally, but not too often. One day I came across the section labeled "Ambassadors of Blackstar Applications." It sounded interesting, so I decided to pop in and take a look at what this "blackstar" thing was all about. After reading the post, I made a brand new toon, leveled it up to level 10, and wrote an application. I knew the that I needed the game experience to help people, which I have for months considering the time the game has been out, and I would need the kindness to enhance the feeling of getting the help. Then I came across the line saying, "We're not looking for people who sit around in base and spam around 'DOES ANYONE NEED SOME HELP?' we want people who act natural in town and talk to new players so they have a good introduction to the game."
So I began to go into base and start conversations with new and old players alike, occasionally hopping in XP runs with new players and teaching them basic mechanics. Month after month waiting for that reply saying "You have been invited to a group! Would you like to join Ambassadors of Blackstar? Yes or no?" but that message never came. When I saw that the AoB program had closed, I thought it would have made me go berserk, but the feeling was not rage and anger, not happiness and sunshine, to be honest, I had no feeling. I didn't care.
I know right here is kind of contradicting my point but stay with me

There was no point of a title. There is no point in a title. While being around great people is nice, it is never the same as being around those who you don't know. The Ambassadors program was made to get players closer to each other by introducing new people to the community of the game. The Ambassadors program was exclusive to most people, and the reason why it ended was because some of those who were in the guild stopped the introductions and went straght back to lazy rode where they would no longer say "hi" to new players, unless provoked. Instead of saying "are you new?" they would say "Dang, look at all these nubs."
I didn't see myself following these paths, so I left the guild I was in (that was made to help people) and started doing my own project of helping people at a solo cause. While a small cause is slower, "it does not matter how slow you go, as long as you never stop." -Confucius
Rewards are a way of saying, "keep doing what you're doing!" If you do not like being told good job, then this idea is not right for you, but just remember one thing, it's always polite to say "thanks."
