To start I only read about half the thread, so apologies if it's been said already.
The problem isn't with the game, the problem lies in the mentality of the people who play it. At some point in the past 20 years, the majority of the 1st world countries were reprogrammed to think only of themselves. That the betterment of themselves was the most important, as in the long run it would better humanity. This however is false. We are at our place in history at the moment due to the previous generations working together for a common goal. We as a species now mostly lack this ability. The definition of greed is thus: "excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions." Key word, Excessive. I know this will blow right over the tops of some heads, but the key to the betterment of humanity (and subsequently the state of the server) is to let go of the excess. There is no alpha, there is no omega, there is only now. Money doesn't matter, Pixels don't matter. All that matters is the longevity of our species. Which we have sorely misguided.
tl;dr
Assholes are the rule now, not the exception, and we will all burn for it in the end. (non-religiously)
