But maybe Im just that old school. if you wanna keep our player base up try not to be douche bags mmmk? You honestly make alot of people look bad, not to mention yourselves.
I can guarantee you that we treat players with respect and maturity as long as they show even tiniest spark of respect towards us.
But we are humans, not paid for this, and we're not really obligated to pat anyone's head when it comes down to that kind of blames what the topic started wrote about.
You are absolutely right that we make this shard for you players, not for us. And that's what we aim for everyday when we work for the shard. But you need to understand that there is a reason why you are players and we are staff. We can't simply go and execute every request of changes you make even if it would make sense in your eyes or would seem like justified thing to do.
Your job is to play, have fun, and give ideas for changes.
Our job is to create, discuss and evaluate the ideas and put into practice those which we believe are best for the
whole shard, not just for one player or one group. That of course leads to conflicts and criticism toward us - because the fact is that we can't please everyone. But we give you the tools and rules how you play here, and you just need to make sure to follow those. If some rule annoys you or think should be changed, come forward and presentate it without hate towards us and we'll do just fine. We don't have one single rule here to annoy you, but to make everyone's playtime as functional and fun as possible - based of course on those principles what we think makes a good shard, what the Pangaea as a shard is about and also what its legacy one day will be.
During the few months what we have had led the shard with the current setup of staff, in my humble opinion we have done pretty good job and we have no plans to change the direction. Of course there is always to improve and we make mistakes too and we try to learn from those, but if you feel like our direction is fundamentally against your ideal gaming, then simply this shard is not suitable for you. We have different kind of players and as I said previously, we can't please everyone but this is the way how Pangaea works. We also have tons of new stuff coming and all the time planning for more to improve to make this shard better. You just need to believe in us.
