@ftxcommando I'm just expressing my wish for less shitposts man, hopefully some people will consider it. Not you of course, my hopes are not set that high.
Why would you have left FAF?
Oh no, phong shows off that he actually doesn't give a shit about any of the highbrow concepts he pretends to value and instead just needles people because he is little better than the people he pretends he isn't.
You can express a desire for people to treat each other with respect while simultaneously recognizing that a particular individual generally does not do that.
On a related note, and to answer the main question: general abrasiveness in the community, see here for a concentrated example among many.
I'm not a hugely competitive player so balance tends to be abstract for me. Haven't had a big problem with connectivity. Even ingame shittalking comes with the territory--people getting pissed when they lose and blaming their teammates is pretty universal.
But in a niche community, seeing people get trashed as a matter of course makes me question who I'm associating with. It also has the knock-on effect of making generally reasonable people testy in response.
Can't come into a thread bemoaning about how people ruin a useful thread and then intentionally attempt to prod a person to derail the thread further.
My post was about why I would have left FAF. The reply to your comment was incidental. If you felt my observations of your behavior as a component of a larger problem was an attempt to prod you, I applaud you for not taking the perceived bait.
You pinged me right after a convo sorta involving what you talked about, don’t get why you would ping me about your personal reasons for leaving unless it was directly responding to said conversation.
My response was made in that context, wasn’t even a response directed at you.
@nine2 1. because the game does not change. any proposals are rejected. the same thing is boring.
- the game has a bad balance designed for nerds. a simple player with beer and a hamburger does not experience any pleasure. No proposals to change this have been made.
@snoog First we need to decide what our goal is. Grow your audience? Then you need to simplify the game and make it more fun. But any simplification will be perceived as sacrilege) Now the game is dull chess. I play this project only because of the cool art design and the huge amount of content.

@broker Propose something.
uselessly. I tried. others too. I don't want to waste time and think anymore. the game is exclusively for a small number of nerds who do not want to change it somehow. a sacred game.)))
@broker have you tried asking modders if they’ll make a mod with the changes you want so you can play the game that way? Not sure what changes you want but it's called forged alliance forever for a reason, its goal isn’t to upset the core game mechanics.
