Admin Treatment

[Agility]

**This thread is not meant to cause any drama or problems between members. This is simply supposed to be a discussion/debate about a topic that some can find controversial, so I ask you not to lash out at anyone or hell, even harass them because of their opinion on the matter, it's just unneeded.

I also will be referring to everyone on the Staff as admins as it makes it easier.**

It's been obvious that Era players haven't been happy with the past 2 or 3 years of the game's existence. People are constantly complaining about the game not meeting their expectations and riots happening in Start or players throwing shade at PR and PRAs and developers simply because of an item they didn't like has increased drastically.

It's okay not to like something, that's 100% fine. What you enjoy and don't enjoy is subjective and nothing can change it. The problem comes with the sheer amount of harassment I can imagine these people get. They can't say a word without someone regurgitating the point of "eRa iS dEaD aDmInS aRe sTuPid," not realizing the other factors that play into the mass believed decline of the game.

These people (the admins) have lives outside of Era. Graal is NOT a job and these people are human beings. They still have to do things that can keep them from focusing their lives on the game, which is totally understandable. The people who are constantly complaining about the faults of Era is that, to be honest, nobody has control of it. It's just a matter of circumstance, and that events happen in the admin's lives which may cause them from either putting in their all or even being there to put in that effort.

Frankly, I don't like the direction the game has been going either, but does that mean you go out of your way to harass these people just because they don't, again, live up to your expectations and come at your beck and call? No, it shouldn't, and if it does, you are ignoring every single piece and factor that goes into what makes the game "bad" or "dead" just so you can feel right.

However, this is all just my opinion (while some things said in this post are true) and I'd like to hear from you and your thoughts on the matter. Maybe we can even get some admins to post their thoughts as well, who knows?

Until then, I appreciate you reading, have a wonderful day and goodbye.

If anything in these are factually wrong, let me know (please, in a respectful way.)

I?m glad someone finally made this thread. I agree with a lot of the points. I think hating on any admin (i know i?ve done it in the past and i?m not proud of it) is just wrong, stupid, pathetic. Every single admin gets hate everyday and they don?t need more to pile on. For a lot of admins they have no control over what gets added, removed, changed, tweaked, ect. But even for the people who make the decisions it?s still not fair for them to receive hate. Whether people don?t like the game or not, they?re trying to improve it. Not try and make you mad. Like why would they purposely put themselves in a position to receive hate. Bottom line, don?t hate on any form of staff.

I’m loving this thread already, as a PR it’s common to recieve hate, then again the players don’t know who to complain to, i always recieve pms saying “fix your (insert bad word here) servers you stupid admins do nothing” and it’s sad to say that we get the hate from things we can’t even control, we host events, they (not everyone) hated the event that was hosted.
We give them a small update, they bash the creator and tell us to focus on better stuff
We give them new content, they still complain
I’m not saying we’re perfect, but you can’t expect us to be at our best if you don’t let us go through trial and error.
(Just to clarify not everyone does this, though based on personal experience, a significant amount does).
Though I’m still happy to see the good people who are very nice to the team, and still believe in the game
And this thread is the proof that there still is a large quantity of people who love, who accept, who envision a better future.
Thank you

Oh a big boy appeared.

Glad you enjoyed the thread mate. Let's hope that people can influence their next decisions based off of this.

Only part I disagree with is that if you are a staff member on Graal, it counts as a job. You would have signed up for it, and you'd need to stick to consistently working on the server. I mean, no one has to harass staff either, yes the staff are just volunteers for the most part. As long as they're doing the job then it's all good (most of the time staff are more than doing their job, people just like to complain).

It might be considered a "job" but that still doesn't excuse the fact that human priorities always come before a game, which is what this essentially just is.
