Honestly too many things are wrong to say anything without being hypocritical to something else.
When you don't have 400 players online like we used to be, you can't be very strict about everything, these things go in parallel. In fact, at any given moment, the punishments have never been as strict and enforced as you'd like them to be, the only strict person was George, who made a big deal out of everything which caused conflicts with everyone and everything. Even so, that doesn't mean everything is slipped past our minds and we don't deal with people to be punished in order to make the game as fair as possible.
You always try to change everything around you, but just remember what got you and everyone else playing, it was the way everything is, not how you see it should be. Your personal hate against me is brought out very well here, as i'm the only person whose name you mentioned in the Entire topic. FYI i never wanted you to dislike me, quite the opposite actually, i enjoyed being around you and wanted to get along with you, i even agreed to fulfill some of your demands/suggestions which i hoped would satisfy you but your personality and radical solutions made it impossible to work with you. Even if you believe and know that everything you suggested back then and now is right and best for everyone, that's not the way your going to get things changed.
Coming back to the rule enforcement, Emps was NEVER as strict as you want it to be, it may seem to you like everything was much stricter and more enforced, but just know that if you have 400 players online, it's much more likely that people will break more rules and do more RWT and get caught doing it. Due to high amount of rule breaks, a lot of cases stood out and it seemed like everything was under control, while in reality the same % of people get away with their against the rules activities that did throughout the whole game's existence.
You keep coming back to staff as one of the reasons why Emps has gone downhill, it's just not possible that someone would choose a game based on their staff team? You dare to say that Ameer, Ralphe, Zudikas and so on would play the game like they did 5 years ago if things were the way you want them to be? They're over this game, they will never play it like they did again. I mean i get it if mods and admins were rude and very unhelpful etc, then that would make someone leave, but that is not what we have.
Everyone has broken rules in this thread, i'm just shaking my head and wondering why is everyone so damn hypocritical? Who are you/we to judge whose mistakes have been bigger? Or should we judge each other at all and call out shit what everyone has done?
In the end it's opinion against opinion, you can't really prove that anything you suggest would bring a better change is correct or truthful, you're just assuming things based on where you see flaws.
