I saw a recruitment signpost a few months ago already - so they changed it to NPC now?
Back then I saw the FR text and was irritated by it but understood the gist that they're recruiting CSR and thus irritated because of an entirely different reason in addition to that:
- It's always said "do NOT mix RL and IC" - a NPC or sign post is clearly IC though and that's used to recruit CSR which is a strict RL thing (event team would be another note though depending on how it's written)
- It's french only inside the game, no google translate available and even though I was able to get the gist of it not every non french native speaker will be able to do the same and using any translation tool for some text bubble in the game is VERY hard (nobody would complain about it on the french forums)
Now something constructive after the rant above:
Do recruitment posts on the webig home page
- even those people not reading the forums will open that page once in a while
- can be translated to the display language
Translate to other languages but clearly note that French is a needed skill
- There are people really good at French preferring other languages for daily communication/interface though (eg. I've set the interface to English instead of my native language German)
Reserve NPCs and signposts for IG/IC-things
- prevents confusion of people thinking it might be a mission or event announcement
