Can't argue that being OF means nothing if you don't have biased devs to support your push. Granted, Ageira was lucky to get Stegodon into the game via rather odd circumstances, but it didn't hurt a single player either way.
And nowadays, there is absolutely no doubt that time is the most precious commodity we as players have. It's one thing to write RP on forums when you have a few minutes for it, another to constantly log into game to grind activity. Especially with dwindling population, interactions are rarer than it was a decade ago. And people who enjoyed Freelancer grew older, migrated to other games. And those that remained, mostly were out of gas and motivation as well. So to all players that still enjoy and keep this community spinning, keep doing it but be nice. You are all playing in the same playground.
