Stop blaming the mods.

[BLASTER872 1,892]

When an update that people don't like shows up (yes, I do not deny there has been a few pointless updates), here's the same response from the community:

 

"I can't trust devs with this bad update. They used to be doing things right but now everything is going downhill, prioritize. The moderators are also very bad, why would they allow this update to happen?"

 

No, you CANNOT assign the blame to moderators. They know so little about the updates before it is actually released. A lot of questions have the same answer: "I don't know." It is not the moderator's fault.

 

Then, do we blame the admins? No, they pretty much have the same power as moderators regarding updates, which is the same as our power as a community: None. Then, we have dictator CM Cedric Debono. He is doing an awesome job communicating with the community and knows some answers. However, he has a minimal impression on updates.

 

Do we blame the developers?

 

 

 

Don't blame the developers. We shouldn't assign blame to people. Developers do not take us as a community seriously because we do not take them seriously. "Noob developer" is not the right answer. That is the only reason they do not take us as seriously as they used to, and quite frankly, they should. It is all our faults -- or rather, nobody's fault, altogether. Stop giving blame. Start giving respect -- and above all, remember, they are the ones who programmed the game we enjoy in the first place.

Well, good argument...

But who should players blame except their "answerers"? Only ones we see are developers, moderators and the community manager; so who players will blame are developers, moderators and the community manager.

 

Think a terrorist attack. The government might have taken every necessary precaution. However,  if the explosion happens; people will blame the government; because the government is the only institution which we can request something, and it is the only institution which people can expect something. You cannot critisize terrorists, terrorists are terrorists and do terror.

 

 

It is exactly like that here. I can curse and insult multers hackers etc.. but I cannot critisize or demand something from them. I can only request something from develoepers, moderators and the community manager as the only answerers I see are them. 

 

EDIT: Please don't start a discuss from the example given. Its aim was just explaining the situation, not further political discussion. Thanks...

^I think that comparison isn't very accurate. A better comparison would be this:

People have dinner at a restaurant. They have to wait really long before the food they ordered arrives and to make things worse, the food is not really hot and doesn't taste well.
The people will complain to the waiters bringing the food. However, it's not the waiters that made the food, they only brought it to the table. It's the cooks that were slow and failed to prepare tasty food.

 

In other words, players can only turn to the messengers with their complaints. What the messengers can do is pass on the complaints to the ones that are responsible for the updates. Of course it is important for players to realize that you can't blame the messengers themselves, but the best thing you can do is to give the right example, because in all fairness, you can't really blame the players either.

 

There is no real need to create a topic to get this message across. However, if you want to complain about the way communication is organized now and if you feel the CM, administrators and moderators take too much heat, you can refer to the Complaint Book.
