Order of the Blue Garter: Open Recruitment Season

[TheFatHousecat]

If you took in some of the incoming people that you spy potential in, rather than making a shout out on these forums to all perfect people, then you might actually end up in a better position. Not every non-elite player is satisfied with their current status and wants to become something better, but how do they show this to you? That's what I want to know. Your standard is essentially nothing short of perfection (based on your semi-inflammatory 'about us" page). what BG needs is fresh blood that isn't perfect, but at the same time isn't fully happy to settle for "good enough."

Many of our core members didn't apply as perfect players, but did show promise and the willingness to learn and improve. By humbling themselves and recognizing what needed to be changed, asking for advice, and a hunger to improve, they became some of our best players.

We are absolutely interested in talking to players that have potential, that may just need the opportunity to parse against higher DPS or who might need a little advice. These players can show this to us by displaying a willingness to learn, a great attitude, quick uptake on new ideas, and a steady upward slope of improvement.

You're right, we aren't going to settle for just, 'good enough', but neither should any hardcore player. Anyone who considers their play non-casual or who wants to start tackling content with a more hardcore attitude should strive to improve every aspect of their game play. When I parse low against Verily at a fight I don't just settle for that and give up, I get angry and push buttons so hard my finger bones crack so I can improve, I ask for advice and try to display a good attitude when some of the criticism is harsh. I try to not only improve, but to beat him and create a standard that other players look to afterward.

You gain some respect form that answer. I can live with that.
