Talk:Admiral of the Fleet Posting: Ranets Daggerfang/@comment-10148112-20160204111224/@comment-7263041-20160204124419

To be fair Ranets, if I see other people grant themselves high rank through the use of self-created decrees, I'm going to raise the same point there. I haven't seen it yet, in fact, you're the first person I have seen on this wiki giving themselves a high rank through proclamation.

Which as I pointed out wouldn't be an issue (obviously in my own opinion) if you used fanon Admirals or guild members / friends who were doing the same RP as you, but using the most powerful fleet related NPC (which Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth currently is until Blizzard gives us Kul Tiras and a new Lord Admiral) feels off as far as I'm concerned.

It would be the same as me using the King to give my characters promotions in the military, or if we go back in warcraft history, using Uther to give my paladin a promotion to Highlord. People would probably call me out on that if I did it, and rightly so because  I'm using a pretty big NPC to freely give myself power. Doesn't mean I can't do it, but I'm still going to get criticized for it, that comes with the territory.

Criticism is part of public RP. You can't expect people to not raise concerns if they see something that doesn't sit right with them. I expect it every time I edit a page, if I don't get any, good but if I do, I'm happy to sit down and explain why I've done what I've done, without getting miffed about the entire thing because that implies that you can't accept criticism when its given to you, which is not a good thing especially in the world of creative writing and performance.
