I think that after many months of discussion about "righting the wrongs" and "addressing the issues", we didn't make any reasonable development in the mod "progression", and we spend too much time arguing on what could be wrong or in excess, which wears down everyone.
I send a small suggestion, a small change in the paradigm. Instead of thinking about returning to better times, or fixing the complex structures that are grinding down the community's patience, how about we look for what is the core of the mod, what is it's basic concepts and the things that should be preserved and developed?
In short: find what is the minimum necessary to keep in the mod, and consider the rest superfluous and to be reintroduced as needed.
