I'll be sending out e-mails to selected people this week to confirm that they're still interested and willing, then next week we'll all learn who the newly added Player Council members are.
Being knowledgeable is good but if they are the first one to create distintions between players becuase the don't think as them or they don't play as good as them then I don't see anything good about that.
So far the council members that I see on forums have tryed to be imparcial or at least being open minded, only I saw one who showed his hate against others but that was only one time and never saw him posting more about that topic.
Would be good that new council members can be taken seriously for feedback and they don't focus only on end game or hardcore content but also include their thoughts about the learning curve in lvl content and Solo content.
Hope EME consider them as the voice of the comunity and not as some kind of postmen.
Although the focus being mostly on feedback and needing to "fix" things is due to failure on multiple fronts. It was never really explained as a focus point, and neither of us really openly showed us doing much of anything beyond event and game feedback. The other issue is we don't really have roles and are 'general purpose' with only our experiences and who we associate with being our specifics. Generally, misunderstandings all around.
Hopefully with additional members it can improve, as there's not many of us due to most of the firs group being largely inactive since the beginning.
He's the rebel of the group.
I think that misunderstanding has continued well into the application process (even after my description in the sign-up thread). Gathering player feedback and sending it to us is fine, and we do appreciate getting a heads up on a lot of stuff from council members, but we already have these forums, chat channels, and a half dozen other places to get feedback.
A lot of responses to the "Why are you interested in joining the council?" question (which to me was one of the most important questions) boiled down to "I'm an experienced player and I have the best ideas for how to improve TERA." Which, aside from not really telling us much about yourself, is also the wrong way to approach the idea of the council. If you have great ideas for TERA and all your fellow guildies or whatever agree with you, but you haven't posted it in the forum or presented it to EME in any way, why would becoming a Player Council member suddenly change things? Just tell us your ideas already!
Everybody who plays TERA has ideas on how to improve it. Player Council members are just volunteers. They aren't paid for, responsible for, or have any way of implementing actual game client or server changes, bug fixes, new features, or anything like that. Even we at En Masse ultimately need Bluehole to make those kinds of changes. That's why Player Council is more about promoting community excellence / cool player activity, and less about addressing game issues.
I appreciate the thought. However, i am not part of the Player Council, and i did not submitted an application for it this time around. That however does not stop me from keep doing what i do.
