I understand that even as community server operators, many of us are in
direct competition with each other for traffic, loyal patrons, market
share, whatever. But at the end of the day we are all part of what is a
clearly dying breed and I think that in a time like this it's completely
unnecessary for anyone to come in here to bad mouth others and be
disrespectful about the potential quality of someone's community because
they are upset that of all things Valve chooses to contact us about... it's
regarding non-marketable versions of skins and not about any one of the
optimization, performance, or gameplay issues that have plagued servers for
the past 3 years. Not everyone is in a niche environment with their servers
with die hard community members. Many of us compete in a high demand "game
mode market" (5v5, dm, 1v1, etc..) that doesn't offer a lot of wiggle room
for uniqueness to the extent that it completely sets us apart from others.
Even having little things like vanilla knives which aren't in a player's
inventory, and obviously doesn't give them a false sense of ownership, are
just nice little things that don't change the game play experience but
offer a little extra for players to enjoy while on our servers. Does
wanting that on our servers, which has ZERO effect on how much money
friggin Valve makes, mean we should be subject to hate and shit talk from
people who are essentially doing the same thing we are but have a different
view on the matter?
We are all struggling for the same thing, a little piece of the pie and to
create an enjoyable environment doing something we love. The enemy here is
not each other. Valve may not necessarily be the enemy but there is
absolutely no denying that they are going out of there way to shut out
communities and that's what we should be pissed about, not that some people
want a !knife plugin and others think that we are shitty owners for wanting
it. We all know how each of the past 2 Operations have been entirely geared
towards official servers. We all know the new XP system has taken that a
step further. Those are 2 major obstacles community servers have to
overcome. Then comes the part about drops. You get something like 4 per
week on community servers (or outside the XP system), which is perfectly
fine, but jesus christ can we stop getting 5 Operation-old cases that
hardly sell for .03 on the market? Couldn't we get a few new collections of
mostly junk skins to replace the original junk skins (sand dunes,
contractors, etc.)? How about a NEW E SPORTS CASE? That is a community
driven product that not only helps community servers, but helps pro players
and organizations, as well as feeds the most important entity of them
all...Valve.
What gets me the most is why Valve wants to kill off community servers in
favor of their own. Their servers are literally an expense. Without ads
there is zero monetization. Sure, buying the Operation pass is profit and
can certainly afford them servers...but their servers put another negative
mark on their already extensive list of reasons why people hate them for
the things going on in this game. They force players onto these shit casual
servers where the VAR is literally stuck in the yellow and it feels like
you are playing on a Gameboy Color. Why is this the experience they want to
offer millions of players? Not only the poor servers, but all the game
modes are straight up broken. 10v10 casual with 15+ VAR and 3 minute (feels
like 3 hours) rounds and team tagging? TEAM deathmatch with basically
unlimited spawn protection? Gungame where everyone has wallhacks on the
leader? Communities all offer these experiences but improved in every way,
shape, and form. Why give 7,920,278 players last month such a god awful
experience for no reason whatsoever?
Sorry for the wall but it's really unfair that people are in here bad
mouthing others when we are all in the same fight with a company who let us
keep their game alive for 12 years while they did nothing then essentially
stole all the community ideas, monetized them while giving minimal profit
share (yes, minimal is better than the none they were making before), and
are now telling us what we can and can't do with the things we developed
and worked hard towards. Comon guys, yall are better than this. YOU TOO
VALVE, I know behind the name you are actual people a with conscience. You
are doing just fine, stop making life harder for us PLEASE.
