If Mae' ever gets the ability to teach anything like alchemy, or Kani, or Magic ... no meta will be involved beyond the apps on the forum.
None.
...and I won't be making people wait 6 weeks for a class.
I've never been partial to how much Meta-gaming is required to play some races/creatures.
How much meta and a popularity contest is required for your characters to earn titles or lands.
It isn't about your writing, or your actions, it's about who you know OOCly, and which of them likes you.
Can't play a Construct unless you contact somebody OOCly about building you.
Same goes for a few others.
Same goes for learning most kinds of Magic.
My last Magic teacher ditched me ICly because they wanted their OOC girlfriend as an IC student instead.
Meta and favoritism ruined my last persona becoming a teacher of Fire Evocation.
It would be great if everything my character earned was done in-game, and not because I'm friends with somebody OOC.
I'm not OOC friends with a region owner/staff member, so none of my characters will be born 'noble'.
...and please ... don't get me started on Staff Members being Region Owners.
That is a clear conflict of interests and risks favoritism.

If you aren't part of a particular clique, your character(s) will never advance beyond 'peasant'.
Progress being dependent on what other people think of you ... isn't how any other game works, and entirely removed my motivation to try to progress.

I disagree with a lot here, and a lot seems unfounded(and also sort of not helping your case to call out people on the forums. You may have not mentioned their name, but anyone can scroll half an inch down and see who this fire evocation teacher you're referencing is).
Overall, you tend only to see these types of arguments and growing level of frustration in people that are rubbing communities the wrong way. I do not know you, but I do implore you to sit and first look at yourself. Are you overthinking things? Are you frustrated that maybe you're being abrasive OOCly without knowing it, and its causing people to shift away from you ICly? While technically meta, there is no universe or world in which peoples reactions like that go away. I'm not saying you are doing or being any one thing, only that the context of what I'm reading here is generally seen in such cases. A sort of outward pointing when one has grown frustrated at their inability to succeed in a given area and seeking out of something to blame, rather than inward reflection.
That aside -
@PolarLoLs do better, don't be toxic. Like why?
