Another X rant - But hope X's read this!

[alex 1889]

Howdy...

Yep it is official, I am the Mr X ranter, even Emma Monks sent me an email about my posts! Rofl.. Oh I do feel so proud.

Anyhow, while I am 100% gainst private room over-ride, we all have to live with it. However, this I am about to bring up I think is god damn rude on the X's who do this.

This week the streets cometitons have been taking place, thousands of Habbo's desperate to take part to support their teams to earn badges. However, a fair number of X's are being arragont and extremely rude enough to goto EVERY streets event. I am not going to name names, however this is extremely unfair on all Habbo's who would wish to goto just ONE event and you X's doing this are totally selfish and unthoughtful.

I found it very humerous that at 4:30pm today, the Welcome lounge had 30/40 inside, I wonder where all the X's were because they obviously were not using their powers to good use!

My Point : X's stop being selfish and stop going to EVERY STREETS EVENT!! Let other groups and users have a EQUAL chance. Better yet if Emma is reading this, remove Room over-ride.

Emma's excuse for room-override is for events in Private rooms. When the hell was there last an Event which required room over-ride? XFest is about it.. and if they do the one off event, do what Callie used to do, issue a TEMP VIP badge. Make competitions fair, don't give X's that extra garuntee over normal users of getting a chance to win.. you say Habbo X's are the same as Habbo's, then make sure they are dealt with the same as us because sure as hell X's are not equal to habbo's atm.


Just-one

NB: Some X's goto just one event, which is perfectly acceptable I feel. Every single one, quoting one X "I just want to win the badge".. therefore goes to every single one with their powers. ''/

agreed, there selfish an get 2 go 2 every other event instead of helping ppl, iof they didnt want 2 help ppl, they shudnt have applied 4 the job

Firstly, the "how would a new Habbo know to go to the Welcome Lounge and ask an X person for help" issue. When you create a new Habbo, the message you receive informs you of the Welcome Lounge and Habbo X's. Right at the top of the public rooms list, is "Welcome Lounge"... you can't get any more inviting, really. The room description (IIRC) mentions the Habbo X's, and even sweet Harry reminds players to seek a Habbo X for advice. Habbo have been (and are) making active steps to ensure that new Habbos can find and identify an X when they are in need of their help.

In my opinion, it doesn't really bother me. On a selfish point of view; as long as I got in the room, I don't care how many X's come in after that point. I lived through Hobbas turning up in events, and I can live with this. It's hardly life threatening. ^_^ And it is common for Habbo X's to reload event rooms to let other Habbos in, or not even attend the event at all. I am most curious as to who this suspect is, that attends every single event (PM James?). From looking at event screenies, I was not aware that there was a sole X turning up at every single event. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to have an X at hand during an event, would it? I never seem to see more than 3 X's at a single event, and although I could be blind, the odd X here and there is likely to be quite useful if individual Habbos have queries or concerns about a particular subject.

There are quite a few X's which attend the occasional event... as they are entitled to! However, there are many that don't, because they don't see a huge interest in them, which is fair enough. As for having public room override only... what about Safety X's? How do the Safety X's get into a full Safety X Centre? What about the weekly Safety Session? Yes, assigning VIP badges for these Safety Sessions would solve the problem - but it's very troublesome, and doesn't solve the issue of a full Safety X Centre, where the Safety X's do a lot of their X'ing. Plus, I was always under the impression that X's (Safety X's in particular) would be giving help, advice and tips all over the Hotel.

All of the Hotels seem to be coming up with their own ideas, and implementing them how they best see fit. The NL system is nice... but during these "big events", it would mean Safety X's would be unable to get in the Safety X Centre if it's full? Playing around with the badges all the time would drive me insane... but I'm not the lucky one who has to do it. I see nothing wrong on the whole with the way the UK system works... I would just prefer the global X system to be unified in its approach.

(Although, it is possible that different Hotels were using different approaches, so that feedback could be taken [like through your lovely rants, James ], and then it would be possible to accertain the best possible solution... with an executive decision from the lads [and/or women] up at Sulake. Speculation of course, and likely untrue.)

It's not a job as such... it's a voluntary position. It's a bit harsh to say "they are going to XYZ event instead of helping". X's are not required to be in the Welcome Lounge or Safety X Centre 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are required to fulfil a minimum amount of time (AFAIK), and then they are free to do whatever they would have done whilst not an X. The majority of X's (yes, majority) regularly invest more than their allotted time per day. There are a handful of X's in particular (who I shall not name, but they know who they are ) who spend hours in the Welcome Lounge... because they want to.

One minute, it seems like this thread is complaining the way the UK X system is run as a whole... and the next minute complaining that only a select few X's are striking a nerve. Methinks the X's are closely monitored, and if they are indeed doing something out of order, it will be picked up on, and they will be treat accordingly. At the moment though, it just seems like group-targeted prejudice, when the problem stated lies with one or two individuals that fall within that group. (I do not know who these individuals are, should they exist.)

I don't think there has ever been a flawless system in the world - ever (or it would still exist). I don't think there ever will be - period. The same goes for Habbo. What I am certain of though, is that if there are flaws with a particular system, those flaws will be ironed out and rectified by whatever means possible. (Until some smart-alec notices another flaw, and decides to launch a revolt. :rolleyes

Methinks complaints like this (and your words hardly go unnoticed James ) are taken into account, and if a problem is deemed as such, it will be managed accordingly. Else, it ends up being the same old talk being recycled over and over (monthly topic rotation?), and ends at the same outcome.

Rants are all well and good, but is the rant targeting the Habbo and Safety X system, or is it targeting a small number of individuals that are within those two parties? I am ever so confused...

From a personal front, I just think it's a lot of huff for such a small trivial issue. Of course, it effects each individual differently... but I seem to remain "un-bothered" by it. :S

We don't have SafetyX's That's the nice thing.. Our Community Manager also thinks about SafetyX that it is a bit Stupid.. HabboX could get that role..

I think our system is the best.. lol > And I like it..

Don't forget that in V11 you have HabboLive at those Big Events..
Also you need X's to Guard the Podium.. We do that.. But with HabboLive it will be nicer and, then you don't need Bothering about X's in Public rooms

I'm not going to read all the pages in this thread, I just read the first post.

Some of the Habbo Xs don't go into any events due to the fact it causes chaos, someone always makes a thread about it (maybe because they might be a little jealous.)We also get a lot of hassle in the Welcome Lounge because of this and it actually is very annoying, lots of people think ALL Xs go into events. If an X does go in an event, I'm sure he/she don't go in every event.

I can personally say that I don't go to any events. The only events I've been in since I got my X badge (in January) is a game which was hosted by Lost_Witness and 1 Habbo Debate. I also know some Xs who haven't been in any events since they got their X badge.

So I don't think it's fair to harass all Xs and blame everyone, as it's not all of us.

All X's do is wear a bobble hat, and dance in the welcome lounge, usually with another X of the opposite gender, and they say things to eachother things like "I luff yew babe" and things like that, they are a waste of time.

And you were the one that was dancing with a bobble hat with me in the Welcome Lounge today :rolleyes:

[WiseBen]

I've never heard any X say to another X of the opposite gender "I luff yew babe"... But i think it should only be like someone said above that there is only a public room override, They don't NEED to go to rooms when they are full, They should have to click go repeatedly like the rest of us...
Public rooms is acceptable, because they are MEANT to be there, helping others. Aside from that I still think they do a good job, so i'm not damning their work.
For events where they absolutely must must be able to go to a full room, it should be like Just-One said with a temporary badge.

Grow up?

Okay it's fairly obvious you dislike most, if not all Xs, and yet you don't seem to have a valid reason other than the fact we all have room override and most in your opinion abuse it.

When X-Fest took place which wasn't that long ago, in fact it was only July, it was important that Xs could enter the events taking place, to run these events. The Habbo community would be sure to complain if we didn't show up, right? Especially after hitting go many many times, imagine the frustration then? By the way there will be more events, but I can't say any more than that, and to remove our privilege would cause havoc for staff and for everyone involved no doubt.

There are things that go on in the background that you never see, maybe you haven't even thought about. Just because an X isn't in a public room X'ing doesn't mean they aren't fulfilling their role. So please don't assume that is the case. Since I became an X last November I have met hundreds of new Habbos, and in many cases have left the Welcome Lounge to spend time with a new Habbo in one of my rooms, where the atmosphere is much calmer, no flooders and fewer distractions. Whilst in my room guiding a new Habbo, more often than not someone will call in who may also want to ask me something or even want my help. All this keeps me busy and I could easily spend anything up to two hours or more in my room just helping. We only have to commit to 15 minutes.

Now imagine I had wanted to attend one of the recent events, and I had just spent two hours helping and guiding several Habbos, do you honestly think I shouldn't attend? We have the right to be players too. Would you honestly deny me the opportunity to take part in an event?

A few weeks back, I was in a trade room, I love trading and met a very obnoxious Habbo who shall remain nameless, who was abusive towards me for spending time in a trade room, this Habbo told me to get back to the Welcome Lounge as he felt that's the only room I should spend time in. What gave him the right to even think that's all I am allowed to do is beyond me, I didn't argue with the idiot as he probably had a pea size brain We are players, we have every right to take part in events around the Hotel in the same way as you do, we sometimes just have less time than you to do so.

Finally, if any specific Xs are abusing the privilege of room override then staff will be aware of it and they will be dealt with.

Before I forget, the last event I went to was Dance Trance, now wasn't that 2005?
