I'll fill you in my guy, right. It may seem like the steakhouse gets you places but it truly doesn't. Everyone that is involved with Prime Rib has earned their shit before the "meme" was even a thing. The ENTIRE gang was revolved around being better than Prime. I my self, had continuous conversations with seniors outside of Prime Rib with what's holding me back, same goes for Dustin, Lunchbox, Wong. We all grinded for our ranks, no doubt about it, we all sit in that channel because we've all been friends for a very.. very.. long time. I myself, known @TheCmdrRex since BFO, before he was Sr, Before he was admin. I've known @Jordan540 since KS(Kavala Scats) Before he was even APD. We've all had the grind, everyone has to grind and to prove yourself, quite literally. You can feel how you want about the Steakhouse but we all just sit in there and fuck around on civ and other games, they don't go out of their way to help boost eachother, that would be bias and to be quite honest seniors know who and what seniors hang out with who a lot.
Anyways,
Edit: Want more evidence that I had to grind out CPL and FTO?
I had little over a 1,000 hours before I even saw the CPL test. I sat and put in up to 10 hours a day for a entire year, and finally was recognized. It gotten to a point where I thought I would never receive corporal, I had to go out of my way and gamble with asking with what's holding me back. I sat days on end, grinding and grinding hours and hours, and to be honest it's a insult how you think I magically just received the rank or any other rank with the Steakhouse. So please, stop, and if you are having issues with the APD which it seems like it, this is not the way to go about it.
