Admin Notice: Community Rules Rewrite - Phase 3

[Thyrzul]

Yes, I often forget people in this community are highly allergic to words such as "complain" and would instantly assume it was meant in the same manner as "QQ" even when not, so pardon my poor choice of words and do kindly reread my previous post while replacing any equivalents of "complain" with "valid concern raised too early and hence with no grounds, experience or examples from the actual server gameplay to back it up".

In other words, I'm neither ignoring your <insert any word that means the same thing as "valid complaint and not QQ" and doesnt offend you>, and nor am I looking at it as whining, but same as a good number of other changes made since the 4.87 release, the team responsible (Be it devs or admins, depending on the change) is simply waiting to see the actual impact of these changes on the server gameplay, rather than using the speculations made less than a day after the implementation of the change to come to a conclusion on whether or not the change was actually productive or if the community is not ready or suitable for such drastic changes.

Oh, okay, so what is the point of this post? If you don't ignore my points, why don't you address them then?. How about instead of continuously avoiding my concerns with "go play the game", you tell me why they are invalid or why my hypothetical scenarios improbable? You know... like actually answering my questions and raised concerns... Regardless of how early my points might be, I may be able to learn more from counters to them rather than from "sugar-coated gtfo-s" worded in a civilized manner. Or would you rather be reactive than proactive? Thinking beforehand could save you a lot of time, and that is what I'm trying to help you with.

Therefor, the longer people refuse to leave their comfort zones and actually try and adjust to the new ruleset, the longer it'd take for us to actually come to a conclusion regarding these new changes, and since nothing is set in stone and the intent behind these rules rewrite is to make the server gameplay more flexible, less tense and simpler to understand and adjust to for newer players, in the end the wellbeing of the community is the only thing taken into account and if the community actually finds such a change less beneficial than we hoped, it can certainly be reverted back to normal, but do excuse me if I'm so immature that I simply choose not to drag this subject deeper and deeper into the endless hole of pointless discussion which some members so passionately dig day and night before we have actually reached such a stage where discussing it would be based on how it has worked out in the actual game, rather than how we each see it possibly turning out with our limited point of view.

The problem is that the more flexible a system becomes, the more complex it will be as well, and it will have a lot of gaps if you don't address all instances. I myself am not against a bit of complexity, I was kind of fine with the new roles of IDs and IFFs, but then you guys (the Admin Team, not just you) came with this new "Pilot ID" and that certain "Who says it's not roleplay?" line kinda screwed up without any explaination on from when it will become powergaming. And I asked you and you didn't answer. My question won't change if I get in-game, the situation I am worried about will be the same, regardless if I'm saying it out here or in there. And if my point of view is limited, please make an attempt to extend it with yours. We are here to discuss possible issues after all, aren't we?

Please read what I've actually written rather than fixating on a single word and writing a wall of text about it which really has nothing to do with the actual subject of discussion.

If "fixating on a single word and wriging a wall of text about it" is the only thing you got from my earlier post, I feel sorry for you, and I really hope it won't be the case with this one.
