oh god not another one
I honestly didn’t want to write this, but I think this community is missing a few key points. Short and sweet.
1. Something really bad just happened – a HUGE slew of VERY ACTIVE players just up and walked. It cannot be entirely a sheep thing – no one just leaves beloved characters because one of their pals is unhappy and their friends will get mad if they don’t leave. I’m still here, after all, and I’m still friends with players who have left. By claiming this entire thing was completely high-school drama worthy and therefore not taking it seriously, you are not only disrespecting my friends but making a mistake in thinking this is not a symptom of a bigger problem. Those players had, for better or worse, what they felt to be legitimate reasons for leaving. The logical response is to stop, see which of those reasons truly were something to be upset about, and attempt to fix it to stop it from happening again. But by the mods, not players. 2. If you think this comm is perfect, you are either deluded or too inactive. So start threading or something. Also, walking in and claiming you know nothing of what’s been happening in the comm lately only to say ‘but here’s what I think’ is literally the worst thing you could do. Ignorance does not make for educated opinions, obviously.
I’m still sticking around. And I have another character hold in the process. But I won’t sugarcoat it, I’m not happy about what went down and my staying was very in question at one point. But I had no legitimate, personal reasons for leaving besides lost sls, but I still have some with remaining players that I would like to keep going with. If I do end up leaving, I will let everyone know. Note: I did not spring this suddenly on the comm, the mods already know my feelings on this matter.
