Quote: I mean, Kusari. It is so empty, because they want is pew pew pew, whilst Kusari gives a VERY BROAD opportunity (as seen in The Parliment) to do great non-combat roleplay.
I think that you just nailed it. Kusari is deserted and ripe with roleplay possibilities, so why resort to this poor excuse of group when there is so much to choose from and do something valid there?
The thing is interaction, roleplay, activity and such other key words are used here completely out of context. This type of group couldn't care less about those concepts, nor would most of the people remaining here. This is the ultimate example of a prevalent toxic mentality in this server.
I am old enough here to remember when zoners were the most played faction. Do you remember what happened?
They were hunted like vermin, groups were made exclusively to hunt and kill them, moronic yalalala jihads were called, and allowed, metagaming moves were made, backstage manipulations were enacted, groups of control pushed and plotted until zoners were nerfed to oblivion to the extent they are even going to remove their caps, and probably force them to fly only weaponless freighters, all of that because at some point they were the most liked, the most played and the most used. And how dare they to roleplay and not exclusively pew pew like the kewl and l33t crowd?
All of that because this community is, in fact, controlled not by the players, not by administration, not by developers, but by an idle group of pushovers and freeloaders whose only goal and satisfaction is not to give something to others but to leach all enjoyment, to kill all originality, to remove any unique perk or ship from any faction or group whose purpose is not the pew pew. All under the sacred banner or interaction, activity, balance and the whole bunch of void and meaningless concepts that are only tossed around to justify griefing while making them look like paladins of justice and "balance".
I am also old enough to have played in vanilla servers back in 2004, where the only ship that was flied was the eagle and roleplay was something that a couple of weirdos would engage in. This is what this server is evolving to by leaps and bounds. A place where all originality or uniqueness is frowned upon, a bland wasteland of balance and pew pew interaction as the only allowed activity.
Before somebody starts crying, this is not about Spazzy as a person, this is actually not about Spazzy anymore, this is about the mentality and goals behind this kind of intiatives by this type of persons.
