I don't feel that the major problem with the community vs the devs is that there is a lack of trust. I feel as though an amount of the people that are in charge around here are just rude and disrespectful. I'm not saying that anyone that has authority on the forums or in TLOPO acts this way, but from some of the people that I have seen in my somewhat short time here; there is a general hate among some people. To the Devs, I understand that you all are constantly asked "When will the game be done?" or "Can we play the game yet?". You can't yell at us for being curious about this. We all want to play the game again, and are very eager to start our pirates again. It has been a while since the game was closed, and we just wish it was a shorter wait. The Mods/Admins/Members/etc, the forums are run very well but not very efficiently. If there was a simple suggestion for the forums or TLOPO, there is NO support on that thought! Why does that happen! They are trying to make their's and possibly other people's experiences better. This has actually happened to me. I suggested an idea for TLOPO and the first comment was saying that it was not a good idea, along with 4+ other people agreeing with the person. It took a while for me to see someone that would support my idea. This is not a great way that the community is run. I'm not saying that you guys suck at your jobs, but It seems as though you don't want to take in others ideas for reasons unknown. Another thing that I have seen is that people on the forums (Not just those who rule the forums, but members as well) is that if someone is having an argument with someone else, they MUST make it public to everyone. How childish must you be to do that. Take your problems keep them to yourself, if you need help with them then ask someone who will not forward it to others. If you have a feud with someone, that is your problem, not the entire communities'.
The chaps ARE doing a good job, let's let them get on and do that. They need our support not our criticism.
