What makes the staff so dislikable? Sure they are not perfect and make mistakes, but so is every other video game staff. That's just the nature of video game staff in general. If there's better video game staff exist, then I would love to see it, especially for a game that's not super tiny.
I agree and I'm wondering the same thing you are. Tbh I'm starting to believe that FR has one of the most spoiled playerbases I've ever seen. I know that I certainly feel spoiled. I've played a ton of petsites and I've never seen a staff team that is so constant with substantial updates (while at the same time actively stating they're anti-crunch, I can't recall seeing any other staff team talk about this) as well as becoming more and more transparent with the players. Yeah, sure, there's stuff I disagree with them on and think they could do better in some regards, but maaaan do some people blow it out of proportion.
I think most players are fine with the staff given how there are more players than ever in year 9, which is really impressive. But some people are going to complain no matter what the staff do.
Same. I've played a ton of pet sites over the years and FR staff is hands down the best in terms of responsiveness and transparency and interaction with players. Do I like every decision they make? Nope. But you can't please everyone all of the time. So I figure it's just my turn when I don't like something.
Sometimes the amount of bitching is so out of proportion to whatever the issue is that the only conclusion I can come up with is that some people are completely resistant to change and it doesn't really matter what staff says or how logical their reasoning is for a specific change.
I'm late to the party, but absolutely this. Some people don't know just how shitty petsites can be. They're tiny teams working on small budgets. Flight Rising is the most polished, well-run petsite I've ever used. It's only down from here folks, so please keep that in mind when you're forming your expectations.
