some PoTM do not deserve their titles

[Ethelinde]

In my opinion someone chosen as the Player of the Month by OutSpark should at least be helpful to the community and display characteristics worthy of mirroring. However, after receiving some screenshots containing whispers of ill nature between the current PoTM and my friend, I was truly disgusted:



Above is the screenshot of the conversation, with the names and excessively offensive language blocked out of course. The PoTM attacked my friend in game with fabricated claims regarding her sexual behavior in RL, as well as attempted crude manipulations of words in order to justify her aggressive behavior toward her former guild, all just to have a member of the guild quit.

I thought of not mentioning her behaviours on the public announcement thread, for the sake of saving her face, and this is the kind of treatment she gives her former friends - just because of her personal anger, her former guild now "deserve to burn", and a former guildy is now a "s**t" to be insulted via whisper.

What right does a person whose traits are as despicable as this have at receiving a supposedly honorary title? I'd call it a hypocricy.

Yeah I think recently PotM is like whoever bought the most CS stuff ? =/
Nobody with no CS has every won it xD I think.


But yeah that's bad o.O

potm is the biggest fake in fiesta. Its the one who is closest to most GMS or spends the most in the CS, imo, not ANYTHING to do with how nice they are.

Peope like thoose, who get potm and yet fail to be in the mentality of "Player of the month", are just people one should ignore.

Eh, not all of the Players of the Month are jackasses. These things tend to be very subjective.

[Loveless]

Yeah, not all of them are jerkfaces, true. They were jerkfaces to begin with... and has a tendency to brown nose. :3

Wasn't our very own Yosei a PotM? We at least know she's quality. They just need to tighten up their vetting process.

Then maybe I'm a potential candidate?

Seriously, though I'd always thought they'd have like a random drawing system (maybe not too random) for PoTM.

Player of the month is supposed to be someone established in the community. If it was random, you run the risk of electing johnny noob the level 4 cleric as player of the month. Outspark cant make him PoTM because his armor sucks so they cant take good screenshots.

Honestly I think that loveless is on the right track with this one. I think the title has a pricetag on it and has alot to do with official forum brown nosing, event participation and sparkcash purchases. Ive been thinking this ever since they introduced it because not once will you EVER see a mid leveled cookie cutter character with no CS items as PoTM. EVER. EVER.
EVERRRR.

I think Yosei was one of the best PoTMs so far. She helps out so much in the officials and has a good rep in game.

[Mindspank]

While I agree with you completely, LMSTIX, would outspark see that as a biased view?
