  1. I agree with a lot of the points. I think the main takeaway here, is that you're pushing away your GFL regulars, whom might or might have not been around for the permanent VIP and don't want to drop money every month for the perks. Fundamentally speaking, A lot of these new VIPS/Supporters have joined mainly because there's a pandemic, and people have the time to play. What I see is that once that aspect of influx of players is over, what then? you've successfully proved to your regulars that you don't care for them, as most recent changes (2018 onward) show that the management is interested more in attracting new players rather than keeping the old ones here. I agree that people will quit naturally disregarding any actual changes to the server, but this just further accelerates the process of people leaving. I wouldn't throw around the word "greed" nor really mess a lot with the financial numbers, because realistically speaking, there could be other factors at play.

     

    The main issue I see isn't about money but precedence. This move just cements the idea that older players aren't the key focus at all and for upper management new players who will join and leave after ~3 months are the target audience. The sad thing for me is that history shows us this is exactly how you kill servers with an older community. Steam Gamers, Mapeadores, Syndicate Gamers, all bled their players away by really pushing away their regular playerbase in favor of faster-growing numbers.

     

    I don't wish to point fingers at anyone specifically, but I do believe this decision doesn't just involve one person, and was a decision that was decided upon by multiple higher-ups. To me, that proves this wasn't some rash "quick buck" type of move but a deliberate show of hand of what many of us who've been playing for some years now have been saying about the shift in focus for the community. 

     

    TL:DR this isn't a move that was even necessary, no VIP/Supporter I have seen/talked to ever complained about the old system in place and the fact that it stood as the common ground and still is in the other ZE servers just gives me proof to believe this is not a necessary move. 

  2. DISCLAIMER: 

    The vote that I give the applicant is not final, and is subject to change depending on whether the applicant displays improvements or not.

     

     

     

    Vote:   -1

    Feedback: I've put quite some thought into this vote, and I'm going to have to -1 you. You are quite active on the discord, you do communicate with members of the admin team quite often, and you're also a pretty chill person. I don't really have anything against you (Okay maybe aesthetic pinging is kinda ResidentSleeper), but it's hard for me to see you as an admin. I'm not going to go into some analysis as to why my vote is the way it is, like I used to. I appreciate and applaud the fact that you have tried to improve yourself since your last application, but I guess I just don't get that admin vibe off of you. I hope that you understand, and I hope that you continue to help the admin team with punishing those who think that they can get away with whatever they want on the server.

  5. while it adds an incentive for people to play/win, it also adds an incentive for people to afk on maps, or to purposely die in maps and kill everyone else for points. Adding points to increase popularity to an already full 24/7 server seems pointless

  6. I agree that before making this big of a move, you should wait a tiny bit to see how big of an impact this change will be. For all the speculation happening, you could have a very small increase in population, or a very big one; it can go both ways, and waiting it out to see would be a reasonable decision tbh
