I feel like taking away the 'power' to give certain people avatar heurts ranking systems, i'd say people need permission of some kind to get the buff in order to make sure we have somthing to motivate people to be active.


While I understand that might be something your clan might consider an important feature of the Avatar, that is not something we would build in as a feature as that would again complicate the code base we are trying to simplify.

Avatars didn't exist once upon a time and it was fine then I'd imagine? ;)

I mean being an admin in itself should be rewarding and motivating as by default you have things you are able to do. (rank up/down, mute chat etc)

I totally forgot, this means we can't use Avatar anymore to gather resources at the Citadel?


It’s not overly clear how, but the following is from Mod Moltare’s thread on FGU’s (under Proposed Solutions) and it seems that avatars will still gather.

e) While the avatar pet is summoned, in the citadel it will gather resources every few seconds up to a cap shared across all clan avatars. (Basically the same behaviour as in live, but with a large clan it'll reach the cap quicker.)

Clarification has been requested, by myself and others, but I haven’t seen anything yet. It can be read in different ways :P

We are still considering how best to implement this, but it is part of the requirements of the design.

- Allow the leader/high rank to choose what resources avatar pets gather in citadel. And when summoned in citadel give BXP + the resource gathering as passive effect.

We are not looking for suggestions on this one - rather we are looking at what is best code wise in allowing us to improve on in the future.

In my case it actually helps my ranking system. I make clanmates avatar warden because they meet some practical requirements I have for summoning that thing. Outside of these criteria they might not even be that much involved with clan stuff. And then there are clanmates that are very much involved with the clan but aren't really fit for the job of avatar warden, and yet they see people less involved be promoted to admin over them. You could argue that I should have adjusted my ranking system to accomodate for that situation but that creates other conflicts.

Lol loved the line " We are not looking for suggestions on this one - rather we are looking at what is best code wise in allowing us to improve on in the future."

Translation - we do not care for Clan leader opinions on how Avatar gathering in the Citadel will work. Your experience, how as Citadel managers you wish to manage the build, and your thoughts as to what will / will not work are totally irrelevant to us. As with the Avatar = pets you will get what you are given and be happy about it or shut up

Edit - admit to feeling jaded - after so many promises broken and false starts over so many years I no longer believe in either a future that considers what we as players want or what is in our best interests
