Welp, finally been unbanned (Granted, I was fairly banned). And I can finally make my last post.

Adios. I'm done as well. Regardless of whether or not this change gets reverted, the attitude of clan staff towards this issue has been atrocious, and I'm just tired of the crap. I've seen it with every iteration of staff, in one area or another, doing shit that I end up viewing as dumb, unwarranted, or malicious.

I've made my points, I've given my reasons, and, flaming though they may have been, I would like clan staff to know every single word of my previous posts was sincere in its effort to prevent you from going down a path that many of us feel you will regret walking. This is not going to increase activity in the long run, this is not going to help retain players from TB to TB Next, and this is not going to win you favor with your peers. Even if you don't manage to outright kill the game, you certainly haven't helped it.

Player retention will fall, even with the QOL changes to make Next easier to learn, the new player influx is not going to be as big as y'all seem to think, since Next is literally just rehashed TB, and nobody who didn't like TB is even going to give Next a passing glance. What you need is maximum retention of the old player-base right now, and this is actively hurting that.

With that, I'm good. I've said my piece, and it's up to y'all if y'all listen.

Peace out,

Templar
