Wayfarer thoughts

SubCmdrTau

Lets talk about wayfarer, and how it can be improved.

I really like the new wayfarer. It is already better than OPR, and this is the earliest form. Having access to a history of submissions, and the results is wonderful For submitters.

Having said this, I do think there is room for improvement.

eg. Adding submission, acceptance, rejection stats to the profile display.

I think some of the first things should be:

• cool downs need to addressed (algorithm is being tripped very easily by agents and it is widespread)
• captchas do not accept answers in some cases causing the system to think your a bot
• address lost access to wayfarer when someone does a certain technique when trying to login
• upgrades are a mess and people lost upgrades in the transition
• make upgrades less confusing the upgrade next option is very basic and hindering
• allow more than 1 upgrade next at a time
• fix lost OPR to wayfarer stats making agents take the test again

to name a few this should not have been launched with these bugs.

I believe the upgrade situation is fixed.

Make the review screen more intuitive it’s currently just a clunkier version of OPR.
