Talk:Guides of the Lotus/@comment-47.25.46.59-20191014030117

There were a few of us in the Guide program that felt sandwiched into whatever dramatic community mess that happened before and during our joining. The program wasn't handled the best for sure, but the intentions were true: to help and connect other tenno. We didn't sign up for recognition or badges or whatever that stuff is, but instead mere opprotunity to reach out to many tenno. Not everyone had the networking skills or bravery to take that leap. I know i didn't. It's difficult to take those steps when a target's painted on your back for someone else's wrongdoings. Seeing the community backlash thoughout all this time, and taking misguided insults on occasion, can really wear down an honest tenno's valor and contribution. Pair that up with the program's mishandling, the vast size and expansion of the community in comparison to the small program, and that there are plenty of incredibly helpful (and famous) tenno out there. . . . . it's a recipe for shutdown. By design, the Guides program wasn't necessary, and so it was deactivated.

I don't know whatever truths were being hunted at the time, and i don't care. I've played Warframe everyday (minus a month or two roughly) since open beta happened. A whole year of hours in my lifespan spent on Warframe. I make my own observations, write my own truths and follow my own path. That adventurous spirit allowed me to meet incredible people through Warframe, and eventually the Guide program as well. Even if you don't see them again, know that your mere interaction leaves a mark on their character. That it's not the game that makes us who we are, but who we game with and how. The game is merely the foundation for the experiences we can share together.

I write this for the curious minded tenno. Those that seek their own truth and motivation far after the events have concluded. As for those that need help with Warframe things, i'll always be around on PC Warframe sometime in the afternoons for NA servers. So long as you're able to slow down and listen (and have a name i can read and type) i can help out.
