Re: What turns people from RP?

Hmm. Sound like griefer tools, which would get you banned in CCS. lol

Mind, its almost impossible, even without any actual corruption or favoritism, to avoid some people thinking they see it, sadly. Just had someone as of a few days ago whining about, "Why is someone only three months old being given GM rights?" The fact that you can't know if they are an alt or not, etc., somehow escaped them. And that is just the most likely reason. Anyone that opens their own sim, and pays to use the CCS system, is their own GM too. We even had an entire staff of people, that where long time residents, jump ship over "perceived" problems. Mind, they jumped ship for several different systems, and may not have settled on one yet, and most charge you for them as well, sometimes "more" than CCS did. One of the developers of a free MMO put it this way, more or less, paraphrasing, "You have to be willing to put up with every good thing you do getting almost no credit, and every thing you do for game balance, or which might annoy X% of the players, will be treated as a conspiracy to ruin your game for the players." Even if most understand "why" something changed, there will still be some percentage of people who insist it was bad, overkill, or just whine that they can't take unfair advantage over everyone else any more.
