I nominate ....
A top 20 player. Please ... any of them. The current experts will know which are on suitable times, helpful & considerate, etc.
I want an expert who is a dedicated player of the server, who has shown themselves to be experienced at the game, ergo my request to take ranking into consideration. No server needs another expert who 'server hops' through multiple accounts (which is fine for the purpose), but each server needs a dedicated player, who will actually do Q&A in chat.
Experts should be EXPERTS - not chat moderators who know "how many cats for a level 8 oasis?" ... but people who can tell the user how that number is arrived at, and the variables that go into it .. or you risk it being WRONG. And, I'm sorry to say, that I see stuff answered wrong all the time. (if not wrong, then regurgitated and not taking the player into account)
Everytime the slightly tougher questions come up, they suddenly fall silent and lurk - only popping up again to moderate chat. I'm not blaming them, I think they do a sterling job - it's just a job that is miscast.
Questions I have seen ignored this week, with an expert online:
- How many cav should I use to kill 20000 catapults?
- Should I train archers .. how do I use them?
- Is it better to wait or advance cats? (answered incorrectly)
- Where is the best place to create new cities?
- What is a good way to make money?
- etc
Any top 20 player would be able to answer these more effectively than players who have not yet competed at that level of Haypi.
To say again, this is not a critisism of the current experts, I feel they should all stay as they are. I do however, feel there is a gap for someone who is very experienced at the game details and mechanics.
I am aware that this post has a "discussion" element to it, but it is also a very clear nomination.
