Hey, thanks for posting some feedback. These articles are always interesting to read. Also make sure you fill out the rookie survey and the end of the season survey, once that is available.

It makes it unnecessarily hard on new players to track what they can and can't do for TPE. Is the TPE distribution different for both tasks? If not, why not use the same threads, with different prompts clearly stated? Even if the TPE rewards are different, just put them on the same thread. I am on discord and the bot posts every task, but then i get to the forum and some are not for rookies.

5) Media and tasks, rookie tasks in this case, do they take a lot to get graded? I have no idea if it is common for media to be sitting ungraded for a week, if there is a specific day where graders do all the grading, but from my experience as a PPT member, the quicker, the better. People do things in game and want to see the result as soon as possible, to be able to buy stuff or even because they just want to see their bank account grow.

On point 4: I am not 100 % sure on how it originated, but rookies having seperate tasks does have some clear advantages in my opinion. The fact that you have a different smaller group of members doing the tasks lets you gear them more towards the rookie experience and you can repeat more popular ones more often, while the SHL PT team does need to be more creative with their tasks, to not repeat them in years. This needed creativity also inevitably leads to some tasks going more in the direction of in jokes, that rookies had no way of connecting with.

On point 5: People don't only write media to get money, it's also a way to get out opinions and start discussions, like you're doing with yours. When media pieces get graded, they get moved to the graded section and are much less visible, so you don't really want to see your article graded two hours after posting it. Graders do go through the section once a week, so if an article has been posted shortly before the grading process, it's gonna wait on grading for about a week.
