I haven't seen that actually, most of mine work on their own. I have had a couple of them who I have to keep on constantly, but most are fine. Whereas in VV2, I had the opposite problem, if I did not keep on them for a really long time, like until they were almost Masters in a skill, they wouldn't stick with it. Drove me nuts! lol! I do use my chief to try to direct, but if it's a new one, just turned 14 with no skill at all, then it doesn't matter if the chief is directing or not. I've got to stay on top of them. But at least in VV3, once they hit the training stage, you can slack off a little and once they are adept, you don't need to watch them at all anymore. I love that change.
