Hey, y'all! I'm GoodLuckCharlie.
Recently, I've been thinking of applying as a helper to Sycophantia. I planned on applying like a month later, but then I saw the staff requirements, and they are mind boggling. The required playtime is 100 hours? This'll take at least 5 months for me 0_0
Please, make the staff requirements easier. As a busy guy, I find it hard to play on the server for for than an hour a day. I think having requirements like 100 hours will encourage players to play excessively, which wouldn't be good for their health.

when they say 2 weeks they dont mean s weeks of playtime. They mean that you have 2 weeks of experience on the server

As the amount of staff application being accepted, almost half of the server was staff members.(Maybe) Previous requirement was too much easy as people wanted to apply for staff and we have been very lenient on that. They were much more active I believe and I have to admit they are much more active than me.
I understand your perspective of the staff requirement that is too much way harder but you have to understand that among our staff team discussion (actually me and exio only), we cannot accept too many staff members. You have saw the amount of staff trial, it was too many. (It's our fault to accept the trials tho) UPDATE: We have now 2 helper and 6 trial-helper who haven't pass their test We have no more builders, they were all gone and inactive We have one new moderator, definitely is not enough for the server We have no admin, that is even worst We have a head admin but I don't know what to say.... We have only one Lev-Developer, we need more to help the server We have around 15-20 players a day, almost everyday is the same player
I don't think the players play too excessively, probably they are always AFK in-game so that why the amount of playtime hours keep increasing. I been observing the server average everyday, in Singapore / GMT (UTC+08:00) during night, they were quite active so I personally think that they don't play for too long too. During Singapore / GMT (UTC+08:00) morning, they are always like 1-4 players so I think that they are probably from other country/timezone So overall, players don't play too much in our server.
As a busy man in real life, we have things to do. I would definitely advise the players that not to force themself to come on Sycophantia server to play for too long, it will spoil your health. Having requirements like 100 hours don't encourage players to play excessively but it motivated them to understand the server and apply the staff position in future.

The point of implementing minimum hours of playtime is to ensure more active staff members, rather than have people who only has 4 days worth of play time and getting ranks. We would want people who are more familiarised with the server to be applying for the ranks. Furthermore, we do not want people who applies for helper rank and ends up quitting afterwards just because they are not worthy of helper rank at the point of time.
The point of the new requirements is not meant to make your lives easier. It also acts as a way to show that you truly are dedicated to the server and are actually willing to go through the effort of going online to achieve the minimum hours needed.
We have also added minimum forum posts as we feel that most of the posts made in the forum are mostly from the staff application. Unfortunately, we did not create the forums solely for players to make staff apps. We would also like the community to grow as a whole and would like you guys to mix around in the forums.
