Ok, I agree that I appreciate what the Devs and GMs do here and that they're providing us all with a wonderful server free of charge...

With that being said, this go to "If you don't like it, quit" response every falls back on is ridiculous. I view the server much like I view my country. I like it, I think it's super - but I understand that it's not perfect. Could it be better? Absolutely. It is because I care about my country [the server] that I bring up issues of concern. It isn't because anyone here is ungrateful (well maybe a few people are).. it is because they are members of the community and are honestly trying to make it better.

Obviously not everyone is like that - some people don't care and are just trolls; but to tell every person who has a complaint or suggest or whatever that they should just leave is counter productive to the community.

Let me emphasis this for anyone who has doubt: NO ONE HERE IS OVERLOOKING THE FACT THAT THE DEVS AND GMS ARE PROVIDING THIS SERVER AND THEIR TIME AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE... WE'RE ALL EXTREMELY GRATEFUL. That doesn't mean however that we won't raise issues in an attempt to make something great, even better.

I agree with and understand the people that have legit complaints, bug reports, etc. I'm not arguing with that at all. I also believe that the legit reports have their place and they make the game better. I'm referring to all the people that troll the forums. I don't think that everybody that has a LEGIT complaint should quit, however those people that attack the GMs/developers are the ones that should quit. If they are absolutely just not happy with something what is the point in continuing? For all the people that get their accounts suspended/banned, they were obviously doing something wrong and they just want to make sure that the dev team actually knew what was going on. Either that or just flat out lie and say they weren't. The staff is busy working on other productive things and should'nt have to answer every single retarded post, especially when its been visited, revisited, and on and on and on on the forums already. Attacking a volunteer staff is pointless and will lead you nowhere, especially when that volunteer runs whatever service you're using. When you look at the amount of posts that the volunteer staff has responded to, it's obvious that they don't sit around on their ass the whole time. They are working on their own time (after they get off of their real job) to fix bugs, answer petitions, work on kunark, etc. So moral of the story is (IMO) leave them alone and quit bothering them with shit that doesn't matter. If someones post was deleted, there was probably a good reason for it.
