remove the assistant cap

[btcbuster]

The discussion thread where they randomly inserted the idea of an assistant cap into a slightly related thread is locked, I have made this thread for the discussion of the topic. I dislike the cap. Please discuss below

[Jacquerel]

this is the second thread made about this topic and also the second one made in the wrong place

[Super Aggro Crag]

wheres the right place to discuss it jacquerel

[Jacquerel]

It's a suggestion that policy should be changed
viewforum.php?f=33
posting your thread in this subforum means that head admins are required to take some kind of action as a result of your thread (even if the action is to say "no we like it and here's why")

I'll just move the topic for 'em

EDIT: Alright it's officially in policy now. Regie made a funny anagram joke before it was but don't take it as an excuse to shitpost in this thread, please.

No, get a job.

"bUt I JUst wANT A job FOr mESSING ARoUNd" No, you want to run around for like 10-15 minutes doing nothing until you get bored and start tiding because you have nothing better to do. If any of you actually used the job to do interesting gimmicks not tied to other jobs, I would agree, but it's like 90% of you burnouts using it to be a hindrance to the rest of the crew and 10% of you actually doing anything funny/interesting with it.

I don’t think anyone actually likes this (that plays), and that alone should be enough for headmins to end the experiment. One of the big reasons this was tested was that it’s trivial to revert if it didn’t work. Well guess what? It does not work AND nobody is enjoying it.

Many veteran players enjoy just getting on a familiar game / server and talking to the people they know without worrying about anything else. Many new players want to play the universal “level 1 noob” character while learning the game without worrying anbout anything else. Many people with various hourcounts want to have fun playing without wanting to feel burdened by a department or a responsibility (real or imagined). And I don’t think any of those players are wrong in playing the game that way so we shouldn’t be punishing them by keeping assistant locked especially when the issue it solves isn’t even solved

the assistant cap has convinced me that we should just ban you inherently for picking assistant and having more than 100 hours in the game. personally im pro assistant cap. its made my quartermaster experience soooo much less annoying

Naw man, I’m fine with this and I play. Or try to, with all the little issues plaguing the place lately…

i don't mind the cap and think there's been some benefits to it, but if it were up to me i'd have it scale according to pop - 5 assistants per 25-30 players seems fair imo.

the action taken was just a nuclear version of a proposal i made that was denied here viewtopic.php?t=36202

[RedBaronFlyer]

Haven't played for a few days but how is the whole thing going? Is it still resulting in players picking a job and then not doing it?

[BrianBackslide]

An assistant cap sure sounds like a good way to prevent new players from having an opportunity to ease themselves into the game.
