Man….

 

 

As one of the very few people who went around clearing some of the worst landscars of last map (things which were made difficult by some of you) it is mildly upsetting to see this post and think “wow I guess all of the work I put in to making the map look prettier just went to waste.” Like should I have left the giant floating trees over these settlements and ugly landscaping allowed to occur under your oversight or?

 

Landscarring is and was never utilized to remove some of the ugliest and most heinous contraptions I’ve ever very seen. I only hope it will be this time, and hope you realize the build team was fixing these issues.

Im just tired of drama, this needs to be addressed behind closed doors

the reason there is drama is because staff exclusively does things behind closed doors then adamantly refuses to actually say what happened until the house is burning down around them lmao. shoutout to the defense of the food expiration plugin being "the players dont actually have a say in the server", spoken as if that was a good thing by the tech member who implemented it.

from a player perspective, this entire team is confusing. there is already two teams that do exclusively the things mentioned, and one of them is being cut out entirely. instead, it was a hand picked selection of an unrelated admin's friends, including one who was fired from the first team who already does this stuff for blatant pex abuse /this month/.

to players, this just seems like redundant team that steps on others toes in an effort to give one admins friends pex, and noone has any real faith the team is actually going to do anything at all, and most people are already pretty tired of how the admins are handling literally everything for the last several months.

I don't know enough about maps to comment but I can say this pretty confidently;

 

If players who were banned for harassment, toxicity and PEX Abuse are consistently welcomed back into staff, if players who metagamed and PEX abused to benefit their own characters are allowed to receive minimal punishment and be welcomed back at any time to staff, if the rules as written only apply sometimes when it benefits a particular group of players, its going to follow that any change that isn't directly addressing the prior will be taken poorly. 

 

I've sent in a admin report thats gone untouched, unread, and unanswered for nearly 3 months - The only thing I'm happy is that its not a pedophilia report. I hear from my friends and other groups that mods are now unable to read and enforce the most basic and clearly written server rules. I watch as ST changes lore in a manner so roundabount, so bureaucratic that nowhere in the process do they actually consult the playerbase they seek to affect. I don't even know what this allegedly nepo-chosen guy did to get removed from staff in the first place, but it frankly doesn't surprise me! This outrage is evidently just a planned part of any staff action, because there has been minimal communication and transparency about anything, anywhere.  

 

And it sucks, because the average staff player just really cares and wants to do things to make the server more enjoyable. I'd bet Filim and River care more about making the map better then Aevos was then whatever is going on up with admins. I know firsthand at this point the staff members actually doing things have no say whatsoever in what they do, because all it takes is one person slightly closer to the bigheads lying, or just outright wanting something without basis, and they get it. 

 

I'd love to hear an argument for why most things [I.E obvious event stuff will be hidden, no spoilers] are hidden from public view so totally. I'd love to be told why I'm too stupid/too unaware/don't actually know what I want to see as the justification for why we're not allowed to know, or be told, or even know how the processes internal to staff work. I'd love to know why the people on staff who do their damnedest are intentionally held back and punished by the same group of players causing the same problems in the same manner for years. 

 

But I know thats asking too much; I should just be happy that when harassment does occur, it's not as bad as it could be, and that when staff continue to do their shenanigans, I should just remember they volunteered and not worry about it. And somehow, their is a question about why people trend to favor individual staff members in their disputes, and reports are non-existent except in the absolute worst of cases.

Can we have a player union force a mandatory community meeting every 3-6 months or even monthly if they weren't so shattered to discuss future or desired changes to the server and get actual player feedback so we can avoid stupid decisions like this, ive been asking for a community meeting while mod, after i was removed and I kept asking for one but it was never taken seriously. 

 

Spam them to host a meeting, it is legitimately the easiest thing to set up lol. Avoiding issues because you cant 'hear' players opinions you can only read them doesnt help, it doesnt convey emotions it subtracts them. 

wont matter when they wont take the feedback. players aren't quiet, it's just that we live in an era of open cronyism and endless loops of bureaucracy which stall anything positive for the server. In exchange this is what we get :d
