This question will be one of the main discussion points during the next community meeting for the upcoming update. Most likely taking place beginning - mid April.

@Maddoxxis that the whole story or is there something missing, cuz idk if that single message is worth 6 months

Here's the screenshot just for clarification. At the time, I didn't even notice the "and that's me" part. I just saw me being called t***ny and was upset and had my day essentially ruined. I'm pretty sensitive to these things. Even as a joke and between friends, I don't enjoy being called this. I think you know now that in the future to not joke like this (especially in OOC chat) unless the other person is OK with it. So in my opinion, you getting unbanned would be fine

+1 The "no bigotry" policy we have startles many other GMOD members from other communities lmao, you surely deserve another chance

Never been ARC before, so take this with a grain of salt and know that it's from an outside perspective looking in. The idea of going at your own pace is a solid idea, so that you aren't necessarily rushed or stressed about it, but as I saw @Luthersay that could be a lot of people. This kind of system sounds like it'd be a lot of individualized learning, which if you really are true to the value of wanting to make a difference in someone's abilities / grow their skills and what not, usually means a lot of attentive care. If there's going to be an emphasis on individuals, then the staff that runs these trainings are going to need to care about their student's progress and needs, which will vary per person as everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Could be envisioning this completely wrong due to fatigue and I'm a visual learner. But so, if done properly I think this could produce some quality ARCs in both merit and attitude, not to mention I think it could also develop a sort of bond across all ARC units, especially with the ARC training staff. I'd see it also being a gratifying experience to complete for those who are really gung-ho about being an ARC. Overall, it sounds like it'd be a nice system to improve an "esprit de corps" and make ARC something you undertake with the intention to develop your skills, with a gratifying result. So long as staff are attentive, encouraging, and constructive, this could be lit for the experience of becoming and being an ARC for those who really want it. As valid as the complaints about wiping are, if you think the process is a chore then see if you have a little more passion for another field or just stick around and go through it with an open mind; Be the constructive first generation, as that's what someone who cares about ARC and not just themselves would do imo. Again, take that all with a grain of salt as someone who hasn't ever gone into ARC or necessarily had an interest in being one. I just know ARC is a staple thing of the Clone Wars and the server, so if it can be something unique / a positive experience for those who want in, then I support that. So, not doing a +1 or -1, just wanted to pitch in. Thanks for reading y'all, have a good one.

Jesus, the condescension is palpable. I'ma hit you with a 'what the fuck' right off the bat. This is not only blatantly misleading (new training takes a whole 10 minutes longer), but backed by rumors (who are these rancor that don't like doing the trainings?) and just flat out false (ARC trainings aren't rare at all). My guy, this is the literal point of the board. Rancor HC had an idea, they made it, talked with HC, then made a suggestion to get community feedback. How else would they go about making this change? You claim to have read the OP, but this clearly shows you skimmed, at best. The training isn't any harder than it currently is (which isn't super hard anyways), and it's designed to not be grueling. Please, enlighten me on how 20 minutes of lore in 1 day is too hard for you. Besides how easy the trainings have been sectioned, they're also designed for less people to do them. You only need 1-2 people to do 2/3rds of the training, and the only ones that might need more than that are the practical sections. No one is arguing that the wipe is going to give everyone some insane newfound knowledge. The point of the wipe is to make sure everyone is on the same level of trainings, and that the minimum skill level for all ARC troopers is consistent. You got your training years ago, with different people administering, and a different server environment. Yes, it's annoying that you have to redo it, but this isn't about you, it's about maintaining the credibility of ARCs overall. I can't tell how legit this advice is supposed to be. If it's sarcastic, it's obvious, and if it's real, then holy shit do you need to tone down the 'I know more than you do' attitude. Maybe think for like, half a second, that RANCOR HIGH COMMAND is suggesting this. If anyone on the server has an accurate idea of what RANCOR can host, it would be them. In conclusion, Get learnt, and stop being obstructionist.

I’ve always wanted ARC training to be properly redone and fleshed out. Hated the training since I got it back in 2018. Only reason I personally didn’t like the ARC wipe and recerts back then is because nothing changed in the training. One concern I can think of right now is that Rancor hasn’t been having the best of times with hosting the current ARC trainings. These changes feel like it will make the whole process longer and take more initiative and energy from Rancor. I just don’t wanna see y’all crash and burn is all. As for the ARCT system I personally wasn’t a fan of the system and was kinda glad it got phased out over time. I’d prefer that when I see an ARC trooper in game it’s a fully trained ARC trooper and not just a trainee tbh. Overall huge fan of the changes as long as what you promise is true. Would hate for the days that go over “important information” is just a bunch of useless stuff and actually is viable during events. Meaning don’t do formations I ain’t finna do a right echelon while shooting droids or some shit. Do you also plan on changing Selections or keeping it essentially the same? I feel it could use a good touch up too. +1 nonetheless. Most of what I read sounds good and if there is a huge change in the training then it makes sense for people to get retrained. I won’t lie a wipe would not bother me one bit but that’s never gonna happen lol
