It happened recently.

Like, at least PRETEND to hold applications lol. You have someone specific you want to add, then PRETEND you're holding a fair recruitment and let that person you want win.

Oh, if they're gonna "hire" their friends and favourites behind the scenes from now on, it will be a shame. I mean, I agree with you, even if we have open applications, we don't know why they choose who they choose to join their team, but some pretense makes things feel at least a tiny bit more fair. This is really something that should be closely followed by the Admin too. You don't want your staff team to break the harmony of the game.

can someone spill this tea to me im actually really curious

i'd also suggest regular timed shopupdates with a dedicated designer (can change?) ? like a high quality designer set every week that gets removed once the week is up and the new set is put in

if every week is too much every second week would work as well

maybe even have monthly themes for the regulated shopupdate and cooperate with the blog or news team to write an article on the theme/topic? i just feel like almost every team is kinda doing their own thing atm so the site as a whole doesnt feel too coherent

I agree! Especially with the last sentence. There's no team coherence.

Yes, i do realize it's sarcasm

It's Saturday and no plans to waste it all on vp
So cutting to the chase because I don't have time to page after page of peeps on their virtual soapbox, did anyone from the team explain why?

I’m just gonna answer this simple last question cause you asked:
I don’t think anybody from your team explained why, unless I missed an announcement (?)

This is another issue. Regular users are not informed by anything. Teams operation is all mysterious, and we're always told "you don't know how teams work", yes, we don't... having a little insight into how each team works would be nice.

As for team members, I think it should be as when I joined ET....You get nothing, no credits, no sets.

As for hyping up the IG amounts, make all sets attainable via MP, DM, WOF or auction. Designers or sets deemed "wanted" could be bought with credits. If not everyone can buy credits? Oh well, might be that's a personal thing but at least no teams are getting hate.

Stop rewarding competitions/events with codes and sets. Substitute with credits so people have a higher opportunity of owning certain sets/designers. It might also lower the hype around certain designers because those lower the chances of things being overpriced because they're "exclusive".

Can't be anything to argue over if peeps get nothing but credits or..PP's.

I'll be fair to agree that "you don't understand" is bullshit. One can't comprehend fully until they're actually on a team...Esp those such as ET and SMT. Yet I understand why some choose to use it.
I also think the lines of communication are clogged due to a "us vs them" or "they think they're gods" mentality so peeps shut down.
I'm not saying this on behalf of my team, just my perspective.

I would love if we had time to clean the shops. Like do a 'closing sell out' of all items, remove them from the shop, and start over with new items. Eg. a basic collection and a season collection changing 4 times a year
