I agree with this to an extent but seeing as Garnet doesn't have the time to play MRP it would be dumb to do random shit without knowing how the playerbase feels about stuff.
Jim has just started to grind his ass off, No offence to Jim but when Aidan/D Rose where managers he was lazy af. And yes Garnet hasn't been on MRP in forever but I also doubt he spends much time on other Garnet servers. The system he has now where managers submit him info on what he can do should work and I think it's working to an extent. Right now most of MRPs problems have to do with the people who play and not any coding/data etc.
I personally can not remember the last time a player who hasn't been around for a while has passed any SOC tryouts. And that's another big issue currently. Tryouts are a rare occasion nowadays. Theres only like 3/4 active SOC factions on the entire server atm. Heres how I personally feel for the factions atm.
PDSS - Active/Skilled and rather full now so it makes sense they don't host many tryouts currently.
GRU - Dead faction, Reeper is the only person who plays. Hysteria went on LOA and made Willie in charge of it while he's gone. And I haven't seen Willie on for 1 week. Making the faction 100% dead rn.
Vega - Pretty small player count (which a T1 fac should), all of the people in it are skilled.
2GA - Dead af, The only people who play it are officers.
Army - Has become alright since it's big slump, Pretty active WO/Officers and usually has a couple enlisted.
Seals - Semi-Active (Gythems on LOA) , We've started hosting tryouts again.
MARSOC - Currently pretty inactive, basically just see Lala and Apollo and ocassionally lark
GB - Is now resetting after the faction was left to die.
Rangers - 1/2 weeks ago I logged on to see a good amount of Rangers who all are rather decent. And now I've not seen a single soul on for 2 days (Vizii was last one I saw) So what the fuck happened here.
IMO the management team should look over the factions and fix them slowly but steadily. Put in some competant leaders for the high ranks and let them build the faction back.
If people in all SOC factions just start being active and doing shit again I have no doubt the server can start to prosper again. Roleplay and Events are fine but should not be the heavy focus rn.
