I'm going to go off on a tangent don't take it personally
i know its convenient that i posted this right after my pr was nerfed but I want to get this out there.
hopefully this is the right place to put this
I think we're forgetting what open-source is, and nerfing things on the premises that "It improves the game" despite receiving a lot of dislikes, contradicting the statement tenfold.
Take stench for example, despite massive dislikes from players and admins alike, it remains within the game, qust would dismiss your argument as lacking despite how much you try to convince him, and calls repeated complaints as "whining".
Whining still has value because it means they don't fucking like it, and when you have repeated whining you may have a problem, speaking of problems, people are apparently moving to Citadel, I have no proof but a admin on citadel on digg told me so lol thats something.
Thus, I believe the void between coding and community should be healed rather than other alternatives.
I believe the coderbase should NOT be favouring nerfs and rather favouring actual features, if things are so bad they require a nerf, don't remove the entire thing, hard-code it to say, remove certain chemicals, make it not form when you try to add it into the plant (sorry), as most coders (afaik) do not play the game they should not be the judge of who and what gets merged into the game, instead, get someone that does play the game and put them in charge of that, again.
I cannot express how much I hate judgements without playing the game, you are a terrible person if you nerf whilst not playing the game for a frequent amount of time, it's not rare that fun gets nerfed from triple A games but this IS open source, all PR's should be taken into consideration unless it really is a shitpost, in which case, it should not be.
Again, don't take it personal, it's rude to mention people behind their back but I had this resonating in my head and I had to let it out. Sorry.
And another thing, I don't know where this goes besides the trash and the NTR hut.
