I remember a time when silently farming for capital ships to use on players in fighters, complaining in out of roleplay about being killed by a pirate as a miner or trader, rule lawyering rules that aren't being broken along with threatening with reports
But now, these people are revered as Discovery's last hope... Where did everything go so wrong? How can you praise the presence of players who don't even follow the majority of the rules, just because they increase the server's online player count? Not like that matters much since they're sitting in Pennsylvania 95% of the time.
I wasn't going to post because I think arguing server semantics is pointless as everyone has their own idea of an ideal server environment, but I have to give my bro a one up on this. You can't in good consciousness endorse lack of roleplay on a hardcore roleplaying server.
