Reason why there is no helpers (my opinion, don't quote me on this)
Lets be honest, there is a huge amount of players who do not know how to navigate through the forums, that applied.
The ones who do have a decent application probably aren't as active on the forums >100 messages.
Even those who are semi-active >500 messages.
The messages are kinda important, some people tend to overlook that.
(quality > quantity)
Why is it important?
Because going through these [messages] would show us what you are as a player and a person.
Your behavior/attitude, how you deal with stress, negativity, disagreements and maturity wise.
So having a decent application but not being active.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Then being active but not having a decent application... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Even if you have a decent application and you're active, if you're trying to be someone else then that's not really you, would you be happy with that? Cause I sure wouldn't be as they are recognizing something/someone that I'm not. (I want my hard work to pay off)
In short, the staff members who are in charge of checking through the applications have a lot of things to consider and want to be absolutely sure the player(s) meets all the requirement before being handed the responsibilities. If there was a mistake and they hired a bad staff, it wouldn't turn out well, right?
Or hiring staff(s) just to fill the spots, that wouldn't be fair to the community or the staff members or even them.
I'll be happy to answer more questions if you have any.
