sa - "it's definitely not due to a lack of funds, yeah. i have no idea why feet are being dragged when it comes to reorganizing or getting more help, as this clearly isn't a well-working system. maybe it's been like this for so long that they don't see much of a reason to bother with it now? or maybe it's just that arcane's reputation of being a dom-less flight means nobody that has any lead experience would even think about moving there."
as to the latter it's more that there's a lack of experience and lack of long term commitment in flight, so anyone who could/would step up, usually drops out/leaves fairly soon. we've got a lot of enthusiasm, but not enough follow through. and in terms of the dom leads..... *sigh* all i know is that they seem to be constantly and consistently slammed with irl stuff. whether or not that's true i don't know, but that's what they tell us. personally i would really, really REALLY rather they just flat out admit they can't handle it anymore, rather than be consistently late with shit and what not but i also realized long ago that that's never gonna happen. *sighs again* i super miss our old dom lead and team, but i do fully understand why they had to leave (massive burnout from giving 10000% of their time and energy to arcane dom)
i have to agree, i'm also sort of resigned to things continuing this way because... how do i say this kindly? going on such a long time of it being like this, it doesn't look likely that anyone on the team is going to say anything like "i'm too busy, i've been too busy for far too long". how long has it been like this now? years? at what point does it become big enough of a problem? i don't know what internal talks are like, obviously, but is it ever considered in those? when do you put feelers out for assistance? last time i checked, they were opening applications to the team over a year ago, in the dom guide post, but it's not been edited so i can only assume that it's joined the number of things left to sit in limbo. like, do people even know about it?
it's disappointing that we've reached the point of people not knowing when our pushes are, guides so out of date, half our dom event threads dead, badges never being ready on time, raffles consistently being late, entire parts of pushes being forgotten about... i like the people on the team, but it's difficult on the morale to continue this way not knowing if the experience will ever get better. sigh indeed, anon.
