Well it is only natural, since there are new players, new moderators, new clubs. It's a new generation. But you are right, I think 1 problem, the paint should not be considered as a gold medal. It is not Masters of Parkour, it is an official status. The status used to be be given to clubs who have spent ages (years) making content for the community, but then, I still feel it's hard to estimate that worth due to all these new updates. You can put lightweight alteration and all these other alterations, and do the trick very quickly. Whilst a few years ago, it would probably take hours with 1000s of fails to do that trick. What made the old clubs special, they showcased new tricks which were harder and harder to do. You can even remember it took sometimes 10-15 minutes to set up certain tricks just for a failure. Making ramps, flipping tanks, people were invested in making parkour videos ranging from M0 videos to M2. It's hard to value like before. The problem with this. I don't know how it is now, but the Russians never seemed to agree on rules or change. There was so much idiotism, that you could be in 2 official clubs and claim 2 paints. And this was supported by some of the other communities. And this was a shame thing to see when 2 clubs tried to merge and take 2 paints, obviously this was backtracked, and probably forgotten about. And even now, how would one say who is the best? It should not be treated as a paint like Masters of Parkour. Any clubs should have an opportunity to become official and receive a paint. It's very hard to decide on how to do this. I would like to suggest, do it like a process for picking veteran. All official clubs should be administrated by the admin. They should submit an application to become official. They should write their history, and show what tournaments and contests they have won as a club, not as individuals. How involved are they with parkour, guides, montages, even set up a criteria to value how good are their montages, tricks, considering factors of alterations, presentation (spec, editing, organisation), mode of gravity, etc.. I know they also used to do karma checks on every player to receive paints and IP checks, this way you always minimised violations from official status owners. This way, it's not a medal but at the discretion of the Manager, and he or she can see fit if it is worth inviting another club to an official status. With the supplies I agree. Not a lot of supplies are used or were used like before. 1500 was an overkill, even we used to get 1500 DD and crystals as well on top of that.

I agree with most of your points, but your main point is also overtaken by the fact, what did it mean to be official when the first official club, if anyone knows, ToT was the first club that got Glide. You want to see what they were doing? Both me and you are very old players, and I think even though our community has taken "parkour" to a new era, no one can ever say any club deserved the paint more than ToT. I still to this day, didn't see 1 club, not only show players how to parkour, but how they edit their videos, guides, montages, in AE, Adobe Premier Pro, etc. They were the first club to make guides, and montages. People complain about change, only when it doesn't go their way, or how they would like. I know it because I'm the same but you can take a step back. It's not 2013 or 2017, but 2022. But the point of the parkour paint was to show not only they were skilled in parkour, but mainly what they could bring to the players. (And it's one thing i know not a lot can relate to) And with montages it's not easy, I think FnF was the one of the few clubs which could demonstrate this through montages, so it is only natural nowadays it might not be promising since expectation was high, and people started focusing on the editing rather than the objective. So much has changed, I can say for a fact in times of over 5 years agos, we were very lucky or "unlucky" since we had to spend hours on tricks. Nowadays there's alterations or augments for both turrets and hulls, different hulls, different formats, different physics, which ofcourse removes the meta of parkour for me. But, maybe it's a different feeling for newer players, I know I used to be excited to parkour but it's not the same when I enter HTML5.

I was gonna write some paragraph to just vex your post, but from a previous owner of Aero, and I can say from GTT when we owned the paint for 6 years, much congratulations to ToD, the game is for fun, not envious toxicity. Pust' kusaet lokti vrag!
