You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to WhateverUSMC again.
I agree wholeheartedly, 1000%.
IIRC, my first post in the forum was the idea of creating a "Help" character that was community operated to assist new (English-speaking) players with finding quests and NPCS, as well as info general game function. For the most part, the "community driven" aspect of Regnum was what initially drew me to the game.
The problem I have is the "community driven" ideology of Regnum served NGD up to a point in which REAL fiscal issues began to arise. But again, I have no real problems with this. A company produces a product and if there is a market for it, sell it!
The real problem with the current situation is that we are supposedly dealing with the developers of the game (which would go hand in hand with the "community-driven" ideal which NGD initially purposed), when in reality, we are dealing with a company. This is where the real dichotomy begins. Players complain to NGD , and the developers shout back "we don't have the manpower".
While I agree that NGD may be understaffed, who is really to blame? The company that produces to product, or the consumer? Would you go back to a restaurant when the the owner himself claims "I can't hire more staff, so deal with it"?
