don't get it twisted, it isn't easy to comment without looking stupid.

nobody is pretending, we all have good intentions, the same as you do. however, the more important question concerns whether the comment in question is correct or not.

That's what it takes to make something positive for the game. Complaining here takes 5 minutes, and it's all you need to impact the game negatively.
if you want me to do something 'positive' for the game, you know exactly how to let me help.

for a period, yes, until those servers started to be managed improperly. in which case it was better for them to disappear and for alternatives to be offered instead.

right, and in many cases, they are confused about what they want back from the community, and become entitled children. hence drakas begging for donations, slackie rage quitting when everyone doesn't agree with him, etc, etc, etc.
and yes, its entirely an ego problem. i don't think i've ever seen RK get the least bit emotional about his servers, as much as i don't like him.

you can't say they've done nothing. rush and marti have done their part by keeping competitive play active when nobody plays AC.
to the devs: instead of treating the community like a bunch of slaves who should be grateful for their masters, why don't you be more inclusive?

lets not pretend that i haven't put in work either. i know what it feels like to get nothing for doing something. but that doesn't mean i became an entitled little bitch. just a cynical bitch.
