Uhmm... wauw... Nice thread here.
Now I've never really played on Hardcore, not more than a couple of times anyway but isn't this blown up to a major thing for no reason??
Personally i can''t see why the "don't like it, don't play on our server" argument isn't valid. I haven't been on one server where I haven't seen this argument used by an admin at some point where the admin got tired of argument.
I know there's a certain way PR should be played to be enjoyable and I know a few rotten eggs can ruin it for everybody but to say a whole server is ruining the whole PR player standards is just BS... sorry I have to say it but we all move on to another server if we feel like the server is bad.
Obviously som still like to play on Hardcore... So let them. Geez.
If you read the post above you will understand what is the real cause for all of this.
When I posted that "don't like it, don't play" is not a valid argument, I explained in which context right after. If a server is not listening to multiple complains about admin treatment, then it should (and it does) get no respect for most of the PR fanbase. All these people ever got was flamming and "don't like, don't play" response.
So the reaction to immature people, it's obviously one of hatred.
They are detrimental to the PR community because they don't want anything to do with us (the feedback thread was closed because they couldn't handle the cold reality feedback of their misdoings, only use of Ventrillo to get in touch, etc). Up to the point that they don't even care to respect the people that created this wonderful mod.
Gameplay wise they overly exploit but I honestly don't deem that as a big deal, it's just merely a reflection of its crew. Frankly, I'm not too sure if this even constitutes as a valid argument. They just need to "clean the house" and have a stricter selection regarding their renewed admin staff. As a consequence, that will reflect in the gameplay.
Now, the situation is this. They wanted their own space. They wanted to treat any kind of feedback behind closed doors. Then the extortion act poured through and now they're trying to redeem somewhat with this thread.
So, yes, everyone is allowed to place any kind of feedback they wish since the Hardcore clan started this. They're doing badly at reconciling, horribly I might add, but it's supposedly a place for everyone in PR to find a midway with the Hardcore clan.
Personally, I think they're just trying to wash their face. The funny thing here is that their intentions are so clear, that they can't help to display their true nature by not building bridges of understanding. And the first step for that, is admitting they're wrong in the way they conduct the clan and the server. Instead, we get absolutely no compromise other than admitting a case of extortion that poured through...and that it was taken care "between them". They can't even be absolutely clear about that!
The server is constantly populated due to a high level promiscuity (as in friendships and political sense) between a lot of its members. I'm sure you are aware of similar phenomenons in the society today, in which I will not describe it publicly as it might constitute an offense.
This just to destroy the ridiculous notion that if a server is full, then they must be doing something right. The latter might be subjective - after all, the server is full - but it's not under the common assumption that it's well admined and the gameplay is top notch. There are always variables to consider in special cases such as Hardcore and a few others that break the norm.
As for ubernuka, I know the man through my ex-clan and in no way would he ever come up with that. He's generally discrete and a nice guy. However, it's only my word on this.
