As a server owner, you need to be thick skinned. A lot of people will have concerns but not necessarily voice them in a constructive or polite manner. You must take in to consideration that a lot of people spend real money here and also there are plenty of people that spend more time on this server than they would at a full time job. I am not saying that how they approach you is acceptable but you should attempt to take a moral high ground and try and dissect the information that they are posting rather than threatening to remove them. I understand that’s often easier said than done but you are running a huge server here with UC’s comfortably in the 300’s, sometimes more, you will have to deal with all sorts of people and it never looks good having a member of the server team getting in to arguments with its community.
In regards to the second point. Pretty much all class balancing is going to come from 1 class pointing out if another class is too strong because 90% of an op class are not going to inform you that they need to be nerfed.
I dont see arguments, i see responses to what the players are asking, with regards to the quoted post, this was directly as a response to a completely unacceptable insult to the entire server team, despite how you feel we should or should not respond, this will not be tolerated. We accept a heavy amount of moaning all day and deal with this on a day to day basis. This is nothing to do with a couple of posts made on this thread.
This would be the same for any business/day to day dealings with people. You are aloud to moan and be unhappy with services, but its very different to a directly insult.
Shadow Step issues: If we put a cool-down on Shadow Step we will also be adding the auto lock and auto run. Sins cannot be double punished. So its one way or another we feel.
