Quote from: Felione on Mar 21, 2024, 11:09 PMTake Return to Morroc for example: He literally hated his community for wanting things changed or asking for exp events. That is not an example of someone who wants to handle a community, but rather, get praise from what little support he can. I have my opinion on why he really closed things up, but I'm almost certain he is not telling us everything, or rather, conveniently skewing it.Ehh, you're mixing your personal opinions on the person in charge with your personal view of the server. These subjects do not always necessarily align, and they're certainly conflicting here; if they weren't, you'd realize the sheer work he put in his project, contrast it with the constant pressure of having to deal with a barrage of complaints, along with dolts who expect you to act like a PR hire, for free or at best for a pittance, every single day, and then surely you'd respect the context he was in. It gets worse when you realize that most of these professional screechers are grown men and women whose mental ages nonetheless seem stuck in time, your patience is bound to shorten when faced with this.

- How do you know the server owner isn't friends with them?

Quote from: Blinzer on Mar 19, 2024, 01:59 PMHere's a better idea though. Instead of sitting here talking about it, why don't you just let it be and devote your attention to something you think is worthy? There is no point in putting it down just for the sake of talking about it. I don't feel helped in any way by what you're explaining, and I'm sure that is the case for many.
You could be using that exact same word space in describing a solution to the problem you're presenting, but instead you're just talking about how much it's a problem.
Quote from: ForgotMyOldAccount on Mar 20, 2024, 04:44 PMIt's true but you have to remember that the majority of people who are in this community are essentially leeches who want a server with a large (non-toxic) community, good content, skillful devs, with no p2w in any shape or form while giving nothing in return. People fail to realize that most private servers are not for profit and ask the world from people who do it for free while contributing nothing of their own besides a handful of complaints. But this isn't specific to RO, it's just the way of the world. Contribute nothing and complain a lot, surely that'll get you what you want instead of contributing something meaningful.

Quote from: Felione on Mar 19, 2024, 12:49 PMregardless of what you think, that community is dead, and was dead when I joined, which was likely more than a year ago now. When I tried to warn them about their issues, they just defended their way of thinking. Of course, this was only 4-6 people on discord who didn't represent a shread of what the majority of the server thinks. It was just a lost cause.
