Wizard Saints & General Events

I have seen discussions on this both in the chatbox and in Skype group chats, so I'm stating it here. I would like to suggest that we add different ways of earning said positions. From what I have heard from members as well as some staff, site-wide evens have not even been in the works for a long time which basically translates to "since site events aren't a thing, nobody can become a Saint" and at that point, it really isn't fair.

Instead of site events, make it events in general? And then add in info regarding being able to use 10-year and 100-year jobs as viable means to really obtaining a position. I know I want my character to eventually become a Saint, but as things stand with the current stated rules, it will never happen, ever.

People who want to add their two cents may absolutely do so as long as it is appropriate, constructive and pertains to the subject matter.

If I'm correct, and Wizard Saints are anything like the Eleven Sinners, you can apply for them with enough information and gain one of the positions. Like Eris signed up for Eleven Sinners when requirements stated 2 event participations were needed and she still received the position.

There are also a few events in work if I'm hearing the rumors correctly.

I think, based on your example Marshy, it might be worth just changing the requirements listed on the pages so they are aware that there are ways other than event participation to apply.

Then would it be acceptable to suggest that an administrator to at least add a little extra information regarding gaining said positions? For instance, I wanted my character to be part of the Saints at A-rank, but as it stands with the current set-up, that feels impossible. Especially since A-ranks still can't access the really IC-impacting jobs. Yes, we can challenge other Saints, but there are only 3 active Saints on the site which means there is no one really to challenge.

It kind of forces one to be at least S-rank for any of the positions since only at S-ran and above is one able to complete jobs of really big IC significance.

Of course! I'd still want it to be challenging to achieve these positions. I simply believe that, as it stands, having Site Events as a main requirement when there hasn't even been one in a long time (haven't seen one in the 3 and a half months I've been here) isn't an OK thing to let be.

Under these circumstances it shouldn't be a super rare occurrence, for instance, for someone to be approved for a position without having participated in Site Events, as Eris was able to accomplish.

Just as well, if A-class characters are able to be enrolled in these kind of positions, why is it that its built so that only S-rank characters can really get them? I'm not saying it is impossible to do so, but judging from what has been said to other people who applied, requirements like needing to have completed 10-year and 100-year jobs are only possible with S-class+ characters (unless that is only for the Gods of Ishval, in which case that is understandable).

Also, things like associating with several different people (which I have seen admins write as requirements to specific people to get a position) should be added to the page, simply for the fact that nobody knows that even has any bearing until they are told such.
