No, that’s a select few of people. The community if we’re going off general sentiment has this obnoxious desire to be given literally all the content in the world without applying effort because they’ve deemed they now want it and get frustrated when people hold them back because they haven’t yet proven themselves.
Raider IO everyone pretends like it’s some gating mechanic dreamed up by people as a way to keep others down. It isn’t. It’s a résumé. It literally just tells people what you have done in the past. I said this in a different thread but if my company needs welders and it’s my job to hire these potential workers. I am going specifically to look for one of two things, bonus points for both. That being their working experience if they’ve had any experience actually welding, or their education to prove to me that they at least know somewhat of what they are doing. I am not going to hire somebody whose only work experience is a fry cook at McDonald’s with only a high school diploma.
Keep in mind, the leader of the party has three other people by forming the group and inviting them has assured them silently he is going to pick people who are going to make the run go smoothly as to not waste their time. If you are not experienced and screw everything up, you have just ruined the experience for four people directly as well as yourself when the group falls apart.
When you’re stuck in that paradoxical loop of “Oh well I can’t get a job because I have no job experience, but I can’t get job experience because nobody will hire me.” you keep applying to low tier jobs where you are likely to get hired. Develop a bit of work experience and expand that résumé of yours. Using it to constantly climb to higher ambitions.
I didn’t become a project manager because I graduated high school then applied for it. I worked my way there by getting job experience and climbing ranks as well as certification and the implied education that has associated with it.
This is the same way with Raider IO. You start off small doing keystones you are unlikely to be denied for. Stomping them and getting a bit of score. Utilize that score to get into higher groups. This isn’t something you’ll do overnight without a group of friends and will take a bit of time and effort on your end. For a real life analogy, I worked in a kitchen, a fairly low level job any monkey can do. I chose to excel at that job and eventually became head of that kitchen when the position opened up due to my ambition and the guy leaving recognizing that and putting in a good word for me. Even without that, my work ethic was very evident just by my performance. When the place closed down due to us not being able to sustain our cost to operate at that location, I left with job experience of having managed a team successfully for a year.
The analogy is a bit weird but the concept is the same. You start off small, perform at the small stuff. Utilize that to climb into higher stuff. Eventually you meet the demands people have for you.
The only people who find fault with this system are pitiful excuses for human beings. They want to apply no effort but reap the rewards. Life does not work this way when interacting with others, never has, and never will.
