GRN feedback thread

[Jansen]

Following a period of consultation within the official faction, as well as with whatever vaguely prolific indies I could find (at least one of whom has helpfully posted here to back up an earlier complaint of mine), GRN| is withdrawing its backing and participation in this event series.

If I had to cite a reason, it would be an overwhelming contempt for fair play and mutual enjoyment exhibited by a significant portion of the opposing side. I won't point any fingers in particular, but I'm not sure if I even have to.

I apologise to @Thyrzul and The Council for how things turned out regarding his extensive and detailed plans regarding the Tau-44 storyline progression, and also to @sindroms for the effort and time wasted on organising something that, in other circumstances, would have been a well thought out and welcome addition to the Tau region and its flagging activity levels. Unfortunately I haven't the energy, motivation, patience, or sanity to put up with the sheer amount of vitriol I'm personally having to deal with as a result of this event series, and I think the enthusiasm my member base was displaying has also long since burnt out.

Im sorry, but this is the kind of behaviour an official faction should not show. If people put that much time and work into creating an event, then you shouldnt just pull out of it like this.
Blaming it on the other sides 'contempt for fair play' seems to be rather sketchy, considering the simple amount of "PVP-aces" on your side of this event. Considering that you did not really complain when the GRN made the first roughly 20-30 (?) kills, while the other side had not even nearly as many, you also shouldnt complain if the other side, which apparently lacks 'PVP-aces', tries to counter that by either larger numbers or specific tactics.
So simply fading out of an event because the other side decided to make kills a bit harder for you, is something I'd consider a slight bit hypocritical and definitely not something an official faction should do.
Guess the enthusiasm of the GRN member base also was only as short lived as the chance for easy blues? If so, then your decision would be quite understandable, but a shame nontheless.
