Yeah, if thats true then hes a ****** that never shoud've played this game to start with.
Look, I get it. It's stated right from the start, this game isn't for the faint-hearted.
But you do realise that this attitude from the older player base is why this game will never appeal to new players.
The amount of people playing the game hasn't changed over the few years I've been dropping in.
Its the same hard nosed veterans engaging in a pissing contest on the forums, a few of the names change but the ***** is the same.
Honestly, I'm not surprised that development has dwindled. Because as a hobby, running this game is fine. As a business model, its a sinkhole. You have an established core of players who have figured the game mechanics out and have little else to do but try and take advantage of any newer players who haven't. And to top it off, after the newer player has been raided, they get to come to the forums where a bunch of people can gloat over how ***** they are at the game. This isn't a good way of growing the game.
I mean in this thread, a guy has technical issues(at least he says so), he then gets robbed and most of the people replying are either discussing how to better take advantage of him, or bad-mouthing him for being pissed off. That's the PR this forum has and it isn't good optics.
