No toxicity, no nolife compensation or supremacy complex so common for this community, just a bunch of people who gathered to have some genuine fun. Both new and veterans who came for another portion of nostalgic memories.
Group is really welcoming to pretty much anyone, always helping and talking through. This is really a unique phenomena for modern Discovery tbh.
People in DTR are different, both in RP and PVP aspects, so you cannot really judge the group by a few people who made a mistake there and there - these with dedication can learn. Lots of people who joined at first wave went ghosting, and will have to be filtered out, but the population amount is still more than large enough.
If anyone deserves an officialdom - it's DTR. Group may need more active and serious RPers (which is i believe fixable over small amount of time), but i haven't seen such fun gatherings around since the Gallic War times, which was eventually mismanaged and frakked up as things commonly ending up here. Hopefully, DTR will remain untainted for as long as this community may still remain alive, the amount of fun they produce made possible for me to actually return to Freelancer and enjoy it a bit longer once more.
Absolutely kudos.

What else can I say that has not already been said...
Friendly people, always ready to help each other, well organized, great structure (hierarchy), fun being around etc.
From my time being in their group, I haven't seen any toxicity or negativity towards anyone, quite the opposite in fact. Also, being patient and understandable because they know that people have their lives outside of Freelancer (or any other game for that matter).
The hate they receive might just be from envious people, after all... didn't the others start the same way in the beginning? Always quick to judge, but successful people are often hated...
Anyway, everyone deserves a chance and I can only wish tons of success for the DTR group, never give up to achieve your goals; you've got my support.
PS: People will always make mistakes, regardless of the group, it's what matters next -> if they are willing to learn from those mistakes.
