Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Stygian]

So now that I’ve had a little time to cool off lets talk about what happened today. I’m writing this with a 2 year old tugging at me so bear with me.

I’m flying around trading today and see a ton of fighters heading down the lane. I check the player list and see over 100 people on. A good chunk of those in Tau 23. “There must be an event” I think. I check the forums and see the XTF have one planned and a ton of factions are involved. I see they’ll eventually end up in Liberty so I decide to jump on when they get there. Fast forward a little bit, I log my Xeno and head to join the event. I get there and the event is shot. Players Bastilled, beamed around, insults thrown around, etc. Poor behaviour all around. Especially from the the admins.

I heard about Corsair being beamed away from the fight. Corsairs have been joining pvp events in Tau-23 since I’ve been here.

Players warned for using setmsg during a fight they were already engaged in. Sorry, but, WHAT? You’ve got to be kidding.

After all that two players were bastilled for insulting an Admin. After their event was ruined I can hardly blame them. It wasn’t much anyways. Grow some tougher skin.

Thats just a few examples I’ve seen. I’m not sure if it was something personal or if thats the norm, but its ridiculous.

It seems sometime in the past few years the rift between the gun RPers and word RPers has gotten wider and the former almost completely taken over the admin team. I really hate to generalize but the people who mainly care about word RP take the game far too seriously. Just like what we saw today. There is ABSOLUTELY no harm in letting the community have a little OORP fun every once in awhile. It brings the community closer together. Something it sorely needs after the crap I’ve read about over the past few months.

Fix the rift between yourselves and the community or all you’ll be left with is a fancy chat client for a handful of players.

Its only a game Let the community have fun.

Also, final nail.
