Denied Remove levelling for certain job requirements

[BlobbiMan]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Remove levelling for different jobs, instead replace them with promotions ICly. For example, CL2 are choices for CL3, CL3 are choices for SA, SA are choices for SC, O5-1 decides O5, SL / NL decides O5-1.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not that I could find.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
More interaction with your higher command
Less mingy officers / guards
Less mingy CL3s
Less mingy CL2s
Less minge past CL1 in general.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Hard work of people who grinded to levels will be removed

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This should be accepted because currently, someone could hop on d-class and mass collect scrap to become a cadet, go on tests and do 0 rp, become a guard, kill d-class, go on tests and do 0 RP, repeat. I feel promotions will be a better solution instead of just OOC levelling.

Is there a reason so I can improve the suggestion based around it?

Fairly sure this will be how Site 9 works, they'll never rework Site 65 to be this way

Site 9 will have trainings to get gear, I dont think they ever mentioned this.

I feel like I want to -/+Neutral, but with a hint of Support. I like the general idea but the specifics I don't vibe with.

With the semi-recent addition of Sergeant, I think having more CL3 roles that are whitelisted through in-character actions (with CL4s deciding on it and it not being a forums post) should be more abundant. I dislike the fact that currently the clearance level system feels like a climbing of levels and not actual power or anything interesting (other than CL4/CL5 jobs) - needing to do practically nothing interesting to get a CL3 role shouldn't be common imo.

Basically, I'm not sure if this would work well for CL2 roles but for CL3 I would like to see this, even if it's just a bonus CL3 role in most departments between the other CL3s and the CL4. More roles should be done entirely on the server, I think.

What I mean by it is: A security SGT+ can promote up to officer. A cadet, once showing enough RP potenial, goes up to guard. A guard, once showing leadership and RP, becomes a officer. A officer can be trained to become a sergeant, and a sergeant can be promoted to a captain by SA. Same thing for medical and research, except medical needs a license. Basically, make the promotion system similiar to MTFs.

Site-9

really good idea but this is prolly too much work and the masses will cope with "site 9" like all the inherent flaws with this server will disappear when that server comes out. using a stupid level system as a form of progression promotes farming and demotes rping

We could just use the MTF ranking system

Site 9, levels are fine for Site 65.

Site 9 isnt a excuse to fix problems on 65

since the remove SC suggestion, saying "Wait till Site-9" has became the worst phrasing ever.

-Current system works fine and this could promote nepotism, but this is a good idea on paper

 

[The Guardian]

In defense of those saying Site 9

I understand there's problems on 65, but I say site 9 because NL isn't going to fix 65 with things they're adding to 9.

Site 9 isnt a excuse to fix problems on 65

they're not problems, levelling is fundamental gameplay loop of the entire server
(which will require an entire rework if levels are removed)

its why I say leave this to site-9, as this is a seperate gameplay loop to the main server

Levelling still invites more minge for things that new players look to, such as officers, guards, SRU, and other level locked requirements that they had 0 RP to get to.
