I am evil, rich, hoarde resources, buy out others resources and hold them hostageselling only for anunheardcpu. When it comes to new armorsmiths looking for a break I break their bank. I always offer more credits for wooly hide then any other and undercut everyone by running over 100 factories.. I buy out all the skill tapes that I see to keep the little man down..
Let me lead you unto the land of the free and home of the brave. The cut throat path of a REAL business operator and not this happy happy joy joy vision of crafting that you all seem to cherrish so very much. Welcome to the second level, welcome to my world as I will be your correspondent and will teach you all the tricks of the trade from monopolizing to making 150mil a week..
Join me and together we shall rule the galaxy as conspirators and brothers in arms.
My comments arein green....

Jaato has been planning on leaving the correspondent role for over a month now. It is no surprise that the Armorsmith position is opening up. Everyone here in the Armorsmith community wishes him well.
These are voluntary positions and it is only natural to have turnover. Show some respect for the profession leaders that devote many hours of their time to help make the game more fun and enjoyable by all with zero benefits returning to them. I am always impressed by the amount of effort some players put forth for this game, and I hope their population grows.
Maybe SOE should look into finding some way of making it more rewarding for correspondents to fill the role. It does seem like there is too much turnover in the program.
I would hope that SOE performs some sort of 'exit interview' to determine the root cause why people leave......but i doubt it.

I see every reason why every Corr has left since I came on board.
Does this mean you understand why they left, or there is a list of reasons why every corr's reason for leaving. (you are not very clear here)
And your entire line of thinking is going the wrong direction.
It seems like there is too much corr turnover (you have GOT to agree with me here). Exploring why and ways to try and reward them to stay on as a corr is thinking in the wrong direction?
I have not seen one single person leave that would need an "exit interview" to get to some mysterious reason you are hoping forto see whythe program is failing.
I'm not looking for a mysterious reason, but rather look for commonality between those who leave and address the trends the soe team has the abilty to affect.
Quite frankly the program ismeant to havefresh faces (after a few months or so), along with keeping the Blue Glowies around of course
Really.... If the corr program was designed to keep a corr for only 3 months, and you have 39 in the program, you would need to hire a new corr every 2 or 3 days (assuming you fill a spot the same day it is open!)......... I think Tiggs has better stuff to do than hire corrs every 2 or 3 days...(but that seems to be par for the course lately)..
I really hate to see rumors spread, but at least this is so wrong we (the Corrs) should get a laugh out of it
What rumor are you talking about?

if there is any commonality in the turnover, it is that they had RL stuff going on, but were waiting for the CU to make any announcements (they themselves wanted to wait so that they could be part of it, instead of handing over the reigns right before the big changes)
I don't think the new coorespondant will be "I know this guy who would be great" It will be someone that is already here, someone that posts a lot and is already active on the boards. You will probably know the guy from the boards once they announce who it will be. I know who I have my bets on, hehe.
yep....hopefully they can find commonality they canhave affect on......
Now if only we could get an answer to how Armor Repair REALLY works, that would be cool.
/end shameless plug
