My goodbye forever rant

[Methais]

I'd say customer service at Simu is way better than it used to be. The GMs definitely don't treat everyone like a bunch of misbehaving kids and try to scold you anymore. Well, not as much.

In exchange for cleaning up the CS side, the dev side took a massive shit.

Not because they're not skilled coders, but because they're a bunch of arrogant and most likely autistic chodes with god awful ideas 99% of the time unless it's P2W.

Except Konacon. He's cool. And most of the others. Except the ones in charge. Their ideas are bottom tier trash.

Couldn't Simu *gasp* fix the underlying lag issue... instead of blaming it on too many people enjoying the game? Someone mentioned Stockholm syndrome earlier... this seems like a prime example of that.

Yes, Simu needs to fix it. That’s not the issue though. It’s the jerky response from HoA, the elitist attitude that is the problem.

Dreaven handled it like a pro. HoA just proved why so many don’t like them.

You don't like HoA. We get it. Congrats on turning a thread about unclear enchanting changes and unfairly penalized players into a soapbox.

If A = B and B = C, does A = C? This isn't a difficult concept. At least, I hope it isn't.

neither is just admitting you were fucking wrong

HOA is like any group. There are jerks and elitists, and there are people you wouldn't even know are in HOA because they don't talk about it. The group is judged by a combination of the loudest and worse examples. There's people on that list who got posted who I think are awesome, and I had no idea they were in the group. I don't think of them differently now. I think the lag issue sucks, and I don't doubt that HOA have taken actions to mitigate it, but it still makes sense that people hold that against them, tbh. The warnings (except for Nodyre, who got flatly hosed and should appeal as hard as possible) seem more warranted the longer I think on it, but it seems like people should just move on at this point. The warnings were issued and they're ultimately a slap on the wrist. Unless people plan to get more warnings they can probably forget it ever happened. The absolute bile in some of the posts about HOA is wild, though. We're all playing a game for the most extreme nerds alive who really enjoy MUDs and the 1990s. Let's calm down. Source: I'm a nerd

Lol that's what you think this is.

Maybe you should focus on removing the corrupt apples from your org. May also want to hire a PR rep - you’re very bad at it.

You could also step down too.

It's pretty clear what I'm arguing. Go back and re-read if you need to.

I hope the accused acknowledge they're being judged by 4-5 persons on this forum who happens to judge ANYONE on ANY matters whatsoever. The same 4-5 persons.

If the accused knows this, I think they should ask this simple question: Does their opinion reflects the majority?

Assuming an answer, next question will be: Do you even think you could change these 4-5 persons who act as if they're Judge for the benefits of others?

A bonus question: Do you think they are 100% flawless and NEVER do anything wrong that could make them accused by their peers after? LOL

[Whirlin]

This is correct.

That's not accurate.
They asked Dreaven to change his actions to be more streamlined to reduce lag, Dreaven objected, but eventually complied. The end result is that the changes worked.
Simu engaged with us to test changes to reduce lag. We worked with them on a variety of tests, and changed our actions. We tried split the group, they lowered spawn rates, turned off invasions, tried new flags. The end result is that nothing worked, they didn't do anything to further work on it.
