It's because a bunch of people in this thread pissed Tank off with their crap. Maybe if people didn't piss him off this wouldn't have happened? BTW this is also a cue to stop pissing him off.
Not really Tig, I would not say a bunch of people in this thread. Although, Chefy's little remark after yours is certainly one of the reasons I have lost my appetite for this mod.
Love or hate me, the bottom line is the mod is mine. Lets be honest, 3 years ago Eirrmod was going to shut it down and I convinced him not to by taking it over financially and motivating him to a small extent.
What went wrong is we never took the step of officially announcing the mod was mine. I never truly stepped in and took full control, I tried to play along with "we are all a team" with no decision being made without a group consensus. That got even worse when "the group" allowed the vocal minority to alter the direction of the mod.
What we have now is an environment where the community feels they can shit on me with out impunity and a member of the Dev team who is rotting it from the inside out.
The curious thing is: If Eirrmod was ever shit on the way I am shit on, you would be removed with out question. In fact, there would be shock and outrage if the person was not removed.
If Eirrmod told the Dev to change the game, the previous Dev team would all jump on board and find a way to make it happen. Simple as that really - Crunch numbers to make it balance and get it done.
Today we have dev members who publicly lash out if they disagree. Practically refuse to code something because they disagree. Hell, even publicly and verbally on Teamspeak insult me or stab me in the back.
At the end of the day this post will to many of the dick heads appear as a woe is me post. Many of you think I have no patience, but those same people have no idea how much shit I tolerate or ignore just to keep this mod alive for those same ungrateful ignorant people.
This is not about woe is me. This is about absolutely despising coming to these forums, yet forcing myself to do so each day to try and keep it going. I watched this mod degrade into shit with a Dev team refusing to listen to change and being led by a little group of vocal elitists. That same group of elitists that think "newbs should have to pay their dues to be here" rather than make the changes that keep new people here.......bah the list goes on.
This mod can be completely saved and become an even better mod, but it can't with out changes. It starts with a Dev team that looks forward rather than backward. A dev team that realizes this is not a realism mod, or realizes we can truly change any unit or stat into anything we want.
I don't give a fuck what units used to do and I certainly don't care about realism. Other than tanks run on tracks, vehicles have tires, and little dudes run on boots, this is a video game and realism can be shoved up your ass - Volks.
I digress. It is the community attitude and the Dev team attitude towards myself that has finally got shit enough that I have lost my taste for this game. Hell, even Windcriesmarry still comes by with his taunts and insults; Blaming me for the downfall of the mod. I guess he can feel good about himself now - it was my battles with him that really pushed me into a hatred of the community.
I truly don't see what would motivate me to want to continue. Part of me does not want to give up. This is the only game I play. But when I look at posts like Chefy's and posts like Volks, I just say why the fuck bother? When I have guys like Metz telling me to go fuck myself in my own teamspeak and Volks defending him, I think why bother.
Am I dick at times - yup, you betacha. You can guarantee I will be a complete dick just seconds after someone is an asshole towards me. I have never been a dick towards someone who is positive and helpful.
I will always be a dick to someone who is negative, self serving, or egotistical. If I have been a dick towards you, you have been in that category.
Well, there's a wall of text....LOL
The haters will post their hate. The rest of you, it has been fun at times and I will miss the game as much as you.
