[QUOTE="XGC HYLANDER XC, post: 577646, member: 155"] It's an open discussion both ways or atleast I hope such so there is or should not be any hostility between us so no worries. You can relax as well Reserved. LOL. Shredda, Like I said, I have talked to many people that have said all the same things you are saying. The number one thing that causes this is different expectations and ones perception based on those expectations. You have said a few times now you don't think the Council is doing anything. What I think you mean to say is, they are not doing what you feel they should be doing in order to be like some smaller gaming groups out there as surely you don't mean to call out the Council of the community you are in on a public forum and say they don't do anything at all. XG has been around for 9 years now and for what it is -- an online gaming community-- is doing just fine. It has one of the biggest if not the biggest Forum related to Gaming on the internet. The reason people may not be on it talking MLG is because they choose not to do such. Also, the people getting recruited into the community are not MLG players. They are normal causal gamers that want to be part of a community of other gamers. XG wouldn't still be here if the Council and many others did nothing at all. You may have missed part of what I said about the Council not being responsible for your experience in the community. That's up to you. They don't need to create anything else for anyone unless they choose to so telling them they need to do this or that won't do anything but cause friction. Do they listen to others suggestions and opinions? Believe it or not, they do. They read the forums and chat with people daily. Do they jump on every little thing? Nope. Do they move quickly on good ideas that they know will better the community? Nope. The reason why is they prefer to discuss things in detail before making any decisions that impact the community. I can tell you from experience that there was a time when the leaders of this community (me included) spent the majority of our time sitting in lobbies dealing with issues and discussing everything and anything pertaining to the community versus playing video games. Sunday meetings would sometimes last for 6 to 8 hours with most of us having to get up early for work Monday morning. Trust me, the Council does way more than you know and cares way more then you think. I say again, 9 plus years and still going. If they didn't, it would have shutdown long ago. The issue is, what they want for the community and what others think they should want are usually way different. Telling them what they should be doing while saying they don't do anything isn't real cool. You saying something like this -- "[COLOR=#C0C0C0]But my last responses were not about the community specifically but [U][B]what is needed in order to achieve OpTic Gaming level[/B][/U]" [/COLOR]Is just your opinion of how you think things should be done. That's fine but who are you to tell the Council how they should run their community? Don't you think they have heard this a few times and considered it already? I am not going to go work at Burger King and tell them they have to start making burgers differently to get to Mcdonald's status. The overall point is, the Council doesn't really aspire to be like Optic. If they did, they would already have done that years ago. Anyone can be like Optic or any other group out there. It doesn't take much if you get the right people that all want that same thing. I said it before, YOU could build your own Optic like clan in the XG community using the structure provided to you if that's what you want to do. As a final thought, at some point you may have to come to the realization that, maybe the Council just don't want to be like Optic and that will never be how things are here at XG. Of course, that is unless You or someone else decide to actually create such a thing within XG that goes further than those that have done the same in the past. [/QUOTE]
