Greentiny
Sergeant at Arms
I have noticed for a while now that the MM community has gradually become a more unpleasant place. It is not just me that hold this opinion and I am sure there are many more that I am unaware of that feel similarly. This unpleantness has been made apparent by regiments, mainly their officers, becoming extremely elitist. An example of this was the council that was made, another is when there was a separate forum made for 'unofficial regiments'. This kind of behaviour I have found to be quite disgusting as the whole point of this mod is to have fun because it is a game which is meant to be for leisure. It is something that you can come home to after work or school and play to relax, and even come on TS to enjoy playing with friends that you may have made. I am going to avoid name dropping because that is not the point of this post but I could easily select several regiments and several individuals.
I think that you know it has gone too far when people want to leave because the community is unpleasant rather than the usual reason which is they are bored of the game.
People simply seem to be forgetting that they are playing a game sometimes and that it is not the real life army, therefore ordering people around from other regiments because you are form a more established regiment or simply possess a higher rank is wrong. Also everyone's opinion should be listened to and valued equally, as opposed to 'oh that is a public player, let's ignore that one and oh that guy is in a huge regiment and is the leader I think I will listen to him.' This kind of behaviour is simply stupid.
I don't want to assume what this mod was for or try to attempt to insult Vincenzo or anyone else but the semi-realism aspect is reasonable to have, people just need to know when this applies and when they should stop acting like officers and such.
For example I know for a fact some regiments and people over 20 in them an some officers are about 15 yet these 20+ year olds allow these minors to tell them what to do in events and trainings. However as soon as that minor starts talking to that 20+ guy out of an event as if he owns him, that is when it has gone too far. Imagine talking to your friends like that, you wouldn't because it is stupid.
To conclude I would just liek to say that yes this community and mod ha become very successful and well done to the dev team for this but seriously I think someone needs to consider what is happpening to this mod and more importantly the community because I am sure you didn't want this creation to become and ugly twisted society that it is steadily becoming as this will benefit no-one for the purpose of fun.
I am sorry if this seems to be a trolling post or offensive but I felt that it is an opinion that is too common in the community and I felt as though it needed to be voced out in the open for everyone to see.
