Okay, since the last thread got closed, and since you posted another one, I'll disclose here. The thread I spend about 20-30 minutes writing a reply to got closed, but since you made a duplicate thread, I'll just post it here so everybody can see. Please read it all.
This is an interesting debate. As for my point of view, I will try not to harbor any bias.
On
Contivalious
's hand, taking a direct and blunt approach to try to limit unwanted players seems to be what he is trying to say, though it is true that he got carried away by trying to degrade leadership and saying it is their fault for the problem being addressed.
On the other hand, everybody seems to disagree with him, saying that the care for the server is very much there, even though Contivalious insists that it is. You guys also may have gotten carried away as well. You should've have tried to level with him in a more professional matter like
Minty . Like you guys keep insisting, we care for all our players, so lets try to be civilized instead of putting the guy down.
As for my opinion, I do not know much about the efforts admins put into server quality. If we were to simulate Contivalious solution to the addressed problem, making the server prime only, then we would have to do some planning, and make a number of preparations before going through with it. Before all, we would have to debate how the actual change would impact the servers. Let's just we agree on making it happen. After all that, we would have make an official post advertising the change as something important. In it we would talk about the reasoning of the change and it's benefits, along with the date the change will be released. The time the change should happen is very important, because if we are too fast, we will miss out on players that would love to be a part of our community. I would probably give it 2-3 weeks.
Now that I've gone through this simulation, I would say that the best course of action isn't to make it prime only. We should just try harder to care for our servers, even if you don't have admin ability. It is understandable that members of the community have their own lives, but if you care so much, then you should strive to become a higher position by working hard so you can better the servers yourself. That is what I am trying to do! You shouldn't be so dependent towards leadership. just try your hardest to better the servers with your own efforts, and one day that will be recognized for it.
This is all. Thank you for reading what I had to say. My intentions were not to start any controversy, so I am sorry if I offended anybody.
Have a great day!
