I know I'm a bit late on replying to this, but I'm gonna go ahead and clarify my views for maybe people who don't get how I look at this stuff.
For some background on me? I've come from YEARS of actually serious, restrictive, no-mics Clockwork RP servers. No, not HL2, Star Wars or Mass Effect mostly. These servers weren't like Revival, or here -- there was a high standard of quality upheld that just isn't present here.
On any of these servers? 75% of the shit that flies here, would never make it past the initial stages of character creation and approval. On those, the admins would LOOK at your characters and decide "hm, does this make sense? Is this retardedly edgy or overpowered or special in some way? Is this literally a copy/paste of a character from another universe?" You had to put effort into your character, you had to play your character seriously, or you wouldn't be allowed to play at all.
Here? As of late people have been allowed to do literally whatever they want. I don't know if the admins are just somehow blissfully unaware of what's going on, but like what Lava said? There's fucking children walking around being more OP than most of the full grown players. I get it, progression, reward time spent playing, blah blah -- but most of these fuckers didn't do shit! They just sucked the dick of people with money and went 'pwease get me a roll bonus daddy' and got free +50s and +40s so that they, as a 7-12 year old, can go and kill everyone else or be completely safe in their fucked up fantasies of being a literal walking fetus in comparison to everyone else.I will seriously never understand why anybody with a shred of fucking self respect would lower themselves to the level of playing a literal CHILD, below the ages of even a TEENAGER, in a server based completely around bounty hunting. You know, illegally killing for money and all that. Characters about in their middle teens are about as low as I can think is sensible, I'm sure some kids at that age could have family issues or whatever and do that.
The worst offenders of ANYTHING in the entire server that I can think of come down to three. Molindi, Alaska, and Sean. I dunno what the hell their actual names are, so, that's what I'll refer to them as. How did [i]any[/i] of the staff think that what these people do is fine?
Molindi, a clone off of Korriban (a planet that no longer is even populated or even KNOWN by that name, mind you) somehow has the DNA of every fucking major Sith EVER, and they clearly don't even understand the lore of those Sith very well! Because for example, they put Kreia AND Treia on their DNA. But, also, don't forget, they have shit like PALPATINE HIMSELF for some goddamn reason, despite how completely lore-shatteringly retarded that idea is. And she calls herself a DARTH, while being this dumb rogue edgelord who does absolutely nothing for the Sith or the Empire as a whole, she just sits around and slits her wrists and fucks Jasmine all day.
Alaska.. oh, jeez, where do I begin? Foxgirls, born on FELUCIA, and say they had tribes back there? Nah, those don't fucking exist. It's a planet of literal death: flesh-eating diseases, giant beasts eight times bigger than her being commonplace. Someone like her who just sleeps around and eats corpses wouldn't survive a minute on Felucia. Other than even just Alaska, there's her dumb new character Fennec: ANOTHER foxgirl, with a name so ironically coincidental that it just might be that they used the name of a fox because they couldn't come up with anything else? It's a literal toddler, walking around in a skirt with little FAIRY WINGS on their back and a plushie army that they somehow ADEPTLY CONTROL WITH A FORCE +1 as an actual efficient weapon.
Just thinking about this stuff starts setting me into a blind rage, so I'll leave it off here.. just.. for fucks sake. This server could be absolutely amazing with the amount of freedom you give people, with the amount of options of unique and good characters people could do -- but the staff let them do the most outrageously dumb and unoriginal crap all the time. I like this server, I really do, but this stuff is wearing out my fath in humanity sometimes, unironically. We need some kind of actual quality control to exist and be ENFORCED.
