I've been playing a couple weeks ( super short compared to your glorious involvement dear reader I'm sure ) and reading old forum drama threads in my time.
this game...
1. there is two elitist groups, one american, one russian, and they grief any village they can with a myriad of random excuses when that village starts showing any form of power/ items worth having
2. new/newer players can steal some crappy crap ( even from dead villages) and you elitists think it is no problem to kill everyone and destroy the village and you are glorious heroes
3. anyone who comes on the forum for advice,help, joining a village, or someone doesn't lay out an exact certain word count, you guys troll, tldr, and avoid information. also, if some poor sap posts a ss with a minimap, you guys grief him, post his coords etc etc
4. the group of active forums posters are the ones who will grief/kill/riad at the drop of a hat
5. said same posters also have whined from time to time about how dead the server is ( I wonder why dbags)
6. coming from a noob pov, i've lost 3 characters in this lag to random serv/client drops, and after grinding another NEW char to 20 survival/ua/exploration, it looks grim.
Why should i toil hermit style when you easily make all the hi q items, and if i do make them myself, ill die for it?
What, grind my char another 2 years and maybe i can manage a fight with some of you? I just don't see it happening, or have the desire too
inb4 classic "good riddance we dont need you response etc" actually, yes, you do need more people, what happens when its just you guys and no one else? after all the work you guys put into your towns/characters (btw - dont even tell me you play your main most of the time now in this lag, it's alt warefare and you know it)
why should new players even try to make it to the top? we won't, we'll be griefed before then, random rbow 1shotted off screen etc ( happened to my first char)
im not complaining, im not a carebear, i love sandbox style and pvp games. I understand it's a sandbox world so i need to deal with it etc, if i did make it to your guys levels stat/gear wise I would easily become a known name...
but should i put in the effort to grow up and be dbags like you...hmmmm
not likely im afraid
do you guys even see how you treat everyone not unlike yourselves?
or are most of you just that disillusioned and old farts irl? (etc painhurtz dude etc)
like...lol
