I like your post honestly,but i cant say that i agree with everything,yeah the dogi part,is a milking process not a hype wannabe,for me the entire game needs rework,stats,classes,end game content...Indeed players with high rep will make the changes,as the popularity always attracts and weaker personalities try to adapt same behaviors and manners.
For me you sound as a victim of your own desperation,for change of things,i agree with you,but you shouldnt loose your temper,as nothing good will come out of it,sooner or later,there will be a realization or a total failure.
Now the ''fan service'' you referring,was a bad move on GM's side,she tried to be sarcastic,but failed miserably and had another outcome,that is just a mistake,as the team should keep their personal beliefs,opinions and personalities,out of their roles,it is absurd to see users arguing with Moderators,even insulting each other,where is this taking us?
I can only see,that move as an urge to flame from the GM's part, as a previous GM has announced that the change the user was asking was on the immediate plans of the upcoming updates,a warning or a put on his place for his arrogant behavior,privately,would just calm down things.
We are in a stage,that everyone has an attitude and tries to prove something,no matter how well or not so well,people handling their experience from the game,none has the CONTROL of the game and ''everyone'' seems to be fighting over to get it.
