Now Element's post was a huge fuck yo couch comment.

I'm a dev by trade and even though sarcastic, Element is actually offering a very valid point from the other perspective. (Assuming the two sides are 'Players' and 'Staff'.)
We all hear on the forums about this place being free to play and the staff gets no compensation, hobby of love, etc., but it seems those sentiments really are not taken to heart when the topic of discussion is so hot-button.
As a dev by trade, I seriously do not understand what has kept the staff going on this project. I sure do appreciate it and am grateful, but I don't truly understand it. You could tell me the motivation, and I would understand you, but when I see how the player base reacts on the forums regularly... man my understanding falls apart. Maybe it's just thicker skin on their part.
Element's basically saying the staff is damned if they do, damned if they don't. Sure there are plenty of common sense arguments, but we all know there is no single panacea for the raid scene on this server. The fundamental design of EverQuest does not support "normal" play inside of the same content for so long, and the player base here is full of EQ encyclopedias for players.
I'm not trying to thread shit or anything. I always enjoy these threads when they are civil just from an engineer's perspective.
TL;DR - No matter how brusque the delivery... Element has a point.
