The original post was about concerns of people that have not only not built absurdly large structures, people that follow rules and guidelines, people that are very helpful to all people on our server, losing or in fear of losing what they’ve built and collected.
People started making assumptions and casting stones, assuming that RedLion was one of the negative types that have since been mentioned.
His place is in God’s Claw area, but people started mentioning massive places on noob river, suggesting they didn’t even read the post before casting stones.
Things have been mentioned about people that go out of their way to ruin the gaming experience for others, and stuck him in that category. Also, he has a few signs asking others to not build over the resources; he himself has not built over them, nor walled them off from other players.
So when I see people that have made poor assumptions, or cannot read, attack him, obviously I’m going to call out those people.
People then started blaming our builds for server lag. I attempted to explain that what most people view as the cause of this, doesn’t really apply to our server (for the most part). I also explained how tiny builds with no others structures around still causes a great amount of lag.
I think I have “researched” and am knowledgeable enough about the situation to comment. People that don’t know any better or have not really read, in my opinion, should not be suggesting that I’m clueless, uninformed, or a hypocrite. As I am also one of the players on the server that goes out of my way to help players, even offering without being asked.
I do not believe that players like us should be targeted, when clearly as so many others have stated, there are tons of people out there whose actions, behaviors and builds are the ones who should be targeted by the new changes.
I’ve attempted to make it clear what type of players we are, but it seems my communication skills are sorely lacking. I’m assuming this is why people are casting stones, insulting us, and flagging my posts as offensive… I’m so sorry that I was not clear and that there are those whose poor feelings were hurt so badly as to report me and my posts.
I have totally agreed that there are many players and behaviors that certain changes will so rightfully effect. But players that have given funcom money, play by the rules, and otherwise improve on others gaming experience by spending all their time being helpful to others, should not be targeted.
Not sure what else there is to say, target the haters, not the kind and helpful; that goes for both funcom and players that post.
