Whatever the politics & issues with tournaments support I dont know ,...
But the complaining & people trying to dictate what the game should be is just dumb
suggestions are one thing ,...but constant flaming cant possibly be much value or motivation..
To me ,...most of the older , or competitive players have enjoyed the RO series since the very beginning ,...have had matches & tournaments even in the beta mod days ,...& were able to work around any issues as the game developed & were able to interact with the devs ,
at the very least in a polite manner & eventually, when demand rose for certain things in RO 1 they became available either by TW or 3rd parties ,...In RO 2 They continue to work bugs
make improvements ,...& new modes ,....It would be impossible to please everyone
but look ,...you will have mods coming out ,...modes & mutators that allow you to control weapon loadouts & levels & continued support ,..I mean at some point ,...if you dont like the rare weapons you dont have to run them on your server ,....If you want time period maps & loadouts , you know it will eventually be available ,....& whatever or however else you want or need to play your way on your server , it will all eventually come ,...as it did for RO1 ,...RO 2 is unique , & has potential to do many things , but how long did it take RO 1 to get to the point it did ? maybe you dont like some things are in RO 2 ,...fine
but you can try to be at least civil ,....& try to work with the devs to improve things
& have patience & let the game develop ,
or you can browbeat & demoralize them until they just say ,...this inst worth it anymore
& drop support alltogether ,...what is a more logical path for the future ?
