Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Riess]

Haven't it by a chance came trough your mind, Mimir, than perhaps lack of "PvP-type person" on admin staff isn't an issue as much as your obvious PvP fixation is? How all this stuff you hate admins for wouldn't have happened if people didn't abuse existing framework and rules to the max for their own gain?

When Pirate ID nerf happened I've read reactions to it and couldn't have helped but smirk at your posts. Guy who spent time flying around Pirate ID snub dropping /1 set to "Pay 1mil or die" at navies or pirates to provoke PvP was shocked that admin team dysliked such use for Pirate IP. You are like a child that slapped the dog when nobody looked and is now screaming because it eventually turned around to bite back. God knows how far in your obsession about blues you've exploited and abused existing ruleset.

I'm nobody. I could count on my fingers the no. of guys on GC I've ran into that I consider "discofriends" or something. I was never recognizable, I was never cared about. Perhaps because of that I've happened to get "nobody treatment" from the community. Someone here (Irwin?) blamed the admins on GC bleeding players. My experiences tell me that you guys have no bone to pick against admins. The community itself spends great deal of time establishing some wicked caste system with its own rules of engagement, aristocracy, commoners servants and pariahs. You guys are wasting no time to make sure that everybody gets shown his/her place. I hate the term "microaggression", it smells of something bored rich kids from tumblr tout around, but it fits my expieriences perfectly. I still remember how my first pvp on GC, and one with no one lese but one of the Reavers ended with green pm telling me "// what a waste of time, just fly zoner". And then there was MND Oder targetting noob helium traders in Penn that I was advised on skype to "deal with" and "stahp" because apparently nobody cares about upstarting players only beggining anyway.

The outrage we are witnessing right now is merely fallout of admins hitting the establishment. As soon as you step outside one of many disco's big tribes, you find out that the sentiment wasn't "what the hell were they thinking banning those pillars of the community" but "oh god, why it took them so long?".

I mean, guy who's way of handling disagreements with people was going to skype to tell them to "go get cancer and die" was obviously such a fine example for the community. He was strong character and those are great, aint they? Or guy who's idea for coexistence with other factions was "oh, you'll do as I say or we'll hound you out. We've got skill and numbers for that". Inteacting with some of them made me feel like its middle school again and its only matter of time somebody will go flushing others in toilet again.

> People aren't popular members of the community when they fail to contribute to the server or improve people's experience in game.

Or they simply don't give in to the groupthink. What if its that simple?
