The hate comes from the way the server is setup. The administration have done an excellent job with this sever, but the community we have now is what comes from a stagnant FFA environment.
  • Players may kill each other indiscriminately - no teams means no trust
  • The LNS and PnP are guidelines, rather than rules coded into the game, meaning players can and do abuse them.
  • There's heavy PvP imbalance due to inconsistent resists. Whether a spell lands or is fully resisted, someone always feels cheated that the RNG didn't go in their favor.
  • RMT is possible because some of the best raid loot is tradable.
  • Plugging is possible, thus people have a way to avoid PvP on the PvP server...
  • The leader board and YT encourage people to be douchebags about kills / getting killed and make people care about a meaningless stat.
The server as it is now is a product of the rules. It was inevitable, in spite of our administration's best intentions.
Sure that's part of the problem.. it's also an easy way to shirk all responsibility from the players.
