*I'm New and Here Were My Frustrations Joining

[ADwyer87]

My big concern is I started with 3 tabs, and then began to get into a situation where I had so many league tabs and different forum posts, I couldn't tell the difference between them (being new, and so much of the content felt similar) and I went from having only a few open to opening 4 new tabs just to understand how to add TPE.



Again > It could very well just be that I'm new to sim leagues in their entirety, but the "Rookie Guide" already feels massive, and having to go to external links for more rookie information was my frustration.

These are my personal frustrations.  Not everyone will feel the same way, and nor should they.  There are definitely pieces which were probably user error combined with doing it late at night.  There are also some pieces where I still feel frustrated by the organization (Like, why isn't there a pinned post in the transactions forum with what the equipment prices and TPE are? It seems like knowing what you can purchase makes sense as a transaction. Maybe it's just me).

I just wanted to see if others, especially those who are still new, or when they were new, felt the same.  Even if the system isn't perfect, it's nice to recognize and feel that you aren't alone.  At the end of the day this is a league with a large number of personalities and learning styles.  What fits for me most definitely won't fit for everyone, but I think the league working to understand what are common frustrations and struggles may allow them to put the information out there in a variety of ways.

nah i understand, i'm not discounting your experiences, just more or less explaining why some of it is the way that it is. I agree things could be better, just with some things i dont think we have the means to achieve that.

The rookie guide is pretty big, my thought is just that if we removed the external links it would only make it bigger. I know i have a generally small attention span but big blocky posts automatically turn me off from reading. I'm also more of a step/checklist kind of guy, separating things into sections helps my brain from overloading haha. I think that could be the reasoning for having external links.

as for available purchases, we do have one of those in the bank section!

its not in transactions but it is just one step away

I thinkthe league in general is aware of a lot of the issues and are trying to work on them. But thanks for your input!
