@R4iscool1 Admins: You are one player and do not represent community and we feel your concerns are unwarranted.

I hope you eventually change your mind before it's too late :)

@R4iscool1 What's smart about explaining that Exam weeks change server population?

R4, you should really get your own thoughts instead of defending and repeating every nonsense other staff have to say.

Max connected player stats (Total / Change in %):

Dec 16 = 78 players
Jan 17 = 70 players / -10%
Feb 17 = 67 players / -4%
Mar 17 = 60 players / -10%
Apr 17 = 52 players / -13%

I don't know where you guys live but 4 month worth of exam-weeks doesn't make any sense to me.
Last year there's been a constant growth from January to June.

I especially adore how you and Baron truly believe that if something doesn't make sense to you it must be invalid ("meaningless repetition of something already shown not to be valid"). Who decided OP's points are invalid? They're still valid for me. And please take a look at the summary I've put together for you. The thread is full of people that (OH NO) would like to see problems addressed.

However, instead of listening to the community you guys keep ignoring it.

Just an example of how community concerns are being ignored (same applies for many other complaints):
Community: We don't want to see other people getting OP or unobtainable items as bday gifts.
Admins: They're not OP.
Community: Doesn't matter, they're unobtainable and create an unpleasant precedent.
Admins: The player is trusted.
Community: Promise not to give such items in the future?
Admins: Such items have special vanishing flags on them.

It is obvious that the community is upset (again, bday gift case is just an easy-to-explain example). This will probably affect some players' decision whether or not to stay on the server. Max connected players stats are decreasing for 4 month in a row now (for a total drop of 33%, 78 players in Dec to 52 in Apr).

So maybe it's the right time to get off a high horse and (instead of marking all complaint-posts as invalid) say something as simple as:
Community: We don't want to see other people getting OP or unobtainable items as bday gifts.
Admins: OK, this is not going to happen again.
