    I just wanna state something real quick and that it's the fact that eco needs staff: I know we have staff who's online but often surv 75% of the day and that's great. But I see no reason why a staff member would have to be survival main if they're willing to go on survival when needed, know the survival servers ins and outs and just tends to play on eco but are willing to help out players on both servers, Im not necessarily saying consider me; But this is just a friendly suggestion for surv main players- consider the lack of staff activity on eco compared to survival and when your forming your responses pay attention to what eco players are saying! There's insight to be had there and I think we'd have better support all around with eco if we had staff members who better understood the issues on a more in depth level outside of just hearing things from players. Long story short, If we eco players have to get staff from survival whenever there's an issue most the time I see no reason why we shouldn't consider someone for staff who's on eco that can diffuse situations and moderate on survival that short span of time during the day where there's no staff on survival- Alts do exist, Its possible to monitor 2 chats at once or least have both servers open :heart: Wanna end this off by saying I still appreciate all suggestions and comments

    There are some staff that I have never seen on eco nit even once which is crazy. If I do happen to see a staff member there on for 2mins help no-one then go back to survival.

    I hope this reply doesn’t come off as rude, but I think that the issue from survival mains (as a survival main) is your lack of any presence. I’ve saw you twice on survival since you have opened this application and even according to other players you’ve had to get help on very basic survival mechanics. It’s okay to main one server but you should still put effort into both as a staff applicant, you should engage with the community & the players on survival. Since my reply I have noticed you’ve been more engaged in the discord, but I still think you could use some more engagement on survival. Again I really do understand that people don’t like survival & it is okay to main economy. I just think you could become a bit more well versed. While you could use alts to monitor the chat it is a bit hard to flip inbetween two chats at the same time so I feel like that solution would also make it unnecessarily difficult. :)

    The "basic" question I asked was about the new chest shop and I believe the person I askedd thought I knew NOTHING about chest shops; I was just confused w the new plugin
    :(: I get on surv at least once daily to just pop in. and have spent time on there learning the mechanics; Im able to help ppl on there, help them better understand the game and rules and be of good use when it comes to helping out :D

    Im also just saying its not fair at all for ppl to say "you shouldn't be staff because you asked me a question" when they're the same people asking questions on the eco things they don't know about. (not you, this is just a generalization) I think NONE of us should have problems w asking help for new things; this makes it easier for every1 to learn. We are all learning 1.19, being ashamed to ask questions is silly.

    I've been slow to opine on staff applications because I haven't felt like I've known their contributions and character well enough (with one obvious exception =).

    But I've gotten to know you since that day you hopped over from Eco to Survival to help me figure out a spawner issue. And I'm certainly not able to comment on people not being on Discord/Forums/chat enough, because I'm terrible at those things.

    But I do think there's a need for primarily-Eco playing mod staff, and I've watched you learn from the process of this application, and especially how you've reacted to the critiques of your resubmission of this application.

    So while I don't yet have the status to put a reaction on your application (some day!), you can count me as supporting you joining the staff.

    I just came here to update my status. Since I no supported and dmed you about it on discord, I have notice you on Survival and more engaged with the community. I’m glad to see you online more :)

    I’m going to move to neutral as I am trying to see how you interact w the community more, and im trying to be online a bit more so I can comment on how helpful you are.

    I'd like to bump up my rating as well.

    Austin has a kind heart and is a responsible community member. He knows his strengths, and knows when to ask for help, which is actually an important quality in a person. And, I think he made excellent points in his comments. To me, as long as he knows the mechanics of the Survival server (I have come to understand he does, with only a few little spots to improve) he is fit for staff, because 1) he is prepared to assist in most matters there and 2) he has mastered Eco sufficiently and the need for mods there is... significant. He would fulfill an important need there, and would still be reliable to be pulled onto Survival provided he continues his learning process there. I have come to understand his commitment to the community in recent days, and am confident he is a strong advocate for our members.

    I recant my "neutral" and hereby move to support.

    Edited to include some things I've been doing: This past week on skyblock Ive been starting my second floor for my drop down into my current spawn! I wanna make it cobble then terraform or add color variation w moss/ diff types of carpets. Ive also been grinding gold heavy and saving up as much grass as possible to upgrade my rank eventually :> I also added in a whole bunch of zombpig spawners for my grinder to be more efficient! Have been focusing more in chat when not busy on trying to help out ppl w questions or new players :D Ive been on my afk on eco ( doesn't count much haha) just to save up bal to trade for sb grass and popping in chat for a little bit daily to check on every1 when I'm not busy :) Im trying so hard to save all I got rn HAHAHA (I have gambling issues)

    I know you are more of an eco player, but I see you on survival all the time. You are very kind and helpful to new players, and would make a great addition to the mods team! Support.

    Bumping my rating from no support to neutral. Fairly certain at this point that you’d be a good candidate for staff, i’m not active much on servers but I have seen and interacted with you quite a bit on discord.

    Good luck with the application slaustin!

    Adding some updates as a bump :> So ive been gold grinding ALOT and I'm like halfway to being able to pay for someone to get me sky titan haha. Ive also been just getting more familiar people and helping out as many new players as I can :) While a lot of my playtime recent is from afk grinding I'm typically on 2-4+ hours still daily :D
