I'm not going to touch everything you've pointed out because I did not look at it, and I think the founder's gift is of little importance.
First of all I want you to know that I do not want to discredit your opinions because they are totally valid, and I suppose that your arguments in most of the posts have their study.
What I want to point out here is the way in which you direct your words to the community, with a little arrogance, as if your words were sacred. As if you were the owner of the truth.
I feel impatience in your words, as if you feel that your opinions have not been taken into account; instead of seeing that maybe if they take them into account, but due to the amount of things they are working on, they can not give it all the attention they want. Because we all put priorities in a different order, and it does not mean that some are good or others bad, they are just different.
I want you to see where we are now, with more than 4 years of work by Daneos and the team that have been adding, WE ARE PLAYING! I can throw skills, fly, grow, do more than 90% of missions; a number of things impossible to keep numbering, from the time the official server closed. Something that was so far from seeing, now it's here with us.
From my side as a player, the only thing I can do is research, share ideas and report them, so that my point is understood. After that, just wait, I think it's the most important thing, be patient.
We all want the best for the server, or at least most of us here.
I do not think the server is going to die, but if some day happens, I do not want to think about that day, I'm going to enjoy it today
I hope you have understood my point, and do not take it the wrong way, it's just another way of looking at the situation
Regards
