Goodbye from Fuzzy

It will be sad to see you go. I always appreciated the way you closed threads.

I am finding myself in a similar situation. After years of supporting this game, writing guides, analyzing content, all to help better other players, I've reached a point where the majority of the community just doesn't care. It's not that they don't find the information useful, they just buy their way past it and never learn to play the game. What we're left with is a community of obnoxious better-than-you cash cows. Most of them I would rather light a match to, than save if they were on fire because they are that arrogant.

On top of that, there is the complete lack of support or any type of management. Countless attempts to get a response from them, or to get them to see the impact of their choices have fallen on deaf ears. And now, when I finally decide to bring the brunt of the community behind me, the majority of the community that cared, and felt the way I do is gone. They've all left already.

I then find myself asking, "why the ***k am I still here?"

Personally I don't percieve it being presented as such. I am truely amazed that he spoke up and I admire him for having the courage.

PWI either changes or falls. Enforcing changes requires unity. What better banner would there be than Fuzzy speaking up. This just MAY be what we need.

There always will be an opposition to a certain point of view and your comments, Hojuken, are just as necessary to keep the flame burning as those supporting Fuzzy.

Viva la revolution!

I have been considering posting something very similar recently, but don't have the Mod powers to sticky it. =P

He speaks the truth though. I've been here with him and stood up for the community, I've literally poured my life into helping you guys where I can.

But at this point, no one cares, and I'm tired of wasting my breath.

Take Care b:byeb:surrender

Most of what Fuzzy is said has been an issue with pwe from the beginning, it's just that now we don't have a cm.
The other parts are to be expected, people expect you to fix things, undo bans, and take care of their petty little dramas with no respect or gratitude.

I do like how you made a sticky criticizing pwe.
Let's see how long it'll be before pwe notices it.

I suppose farewell to you, though I hardly knew you.

I talked about work as well as my mod experience to state the things both have in common:
Everyone seems to have complains about their boss, coleagues, company/game/whatever Everywhere.

It is just that a job is primarily focused on asking someone to perform tasks and this in exchange of money. Productivity is the key. Too many are fine with treating their employees like **** and pay them the least possible as they won't need to fill their shoes. More profit too. Simple reasoning, right? It's just deadly in the long-term.

But again, some good companies sometimes realize that keeping their team happy will reward them in the long term (understanding genuine suggestions and possibly applying them if they are reasonable enough, understanding the existence of a private life, proper facilities and equipment...)
I am not talking about stupid symbolic trinkets and whatnot, even scientists now concluded that the permission of a short nap at work will boost performances.
In turn, employees will respect the demands that are put into them and won't be tempted to "go where the pasture is greener, aka on the other side of the fence" or sabotage work on a regular way, both of which can cost tremendous money.

I'm listened to at work, so I respect and like my boss. There is an exception to all rules. b:laugh

P.S.: As a mod, you will never be truly understood by the ones hired by the company, not only because you work for free, but also because you about never directly interact with them. So suggestions will be moot to them (and **** will continue to stay around and build up).
Isn't it also sad to be chosen to quell the anger of a discontent community and constantly report that "all is OK"?

Just saying but sticky or not this thread is bumped again and again while other threads are quite dead so this is really not important...
And I found quite interesting to get the real opinion of a mod.

Mods are nothing more than players who can move and lock threads, they aren't anything special, their opinion is as much of value as the next person.

I thought they could contact/talk with GM/CM/whoever more easily than us.
Am I wrong ?
The I supposed that they might be aware of more internal topics/decisions than us as well

Not really. They are more likely to not be ignore when PMing a GM/CM on the forums that the average player, and they may have a way to contact someone if things go terribly south with the servers, but that's about it.

I have always wondered why anyone would want to moderate these forums. This community sucks.

Good luck in your future adventures b:bye

Fuzzy you will be missed. I want to give you a big thank you for all of your time you put into the forums. You have helped me many times throughout the years either by answering my questions or by answering someone else's question when i had the same one.

As a side note, if my memory serves me correct i think i actually voted for you in the election many years ago.

Again thank you for the years of service you have put into this game.

>Quitting thread
>Not OT, but gets 2 stickied posts on GD because its a Moderator

I understand if you want to explain why you are leaving in detail but dont you think that is a bit much? You could have just made a normal thread with the first and second post being comprised of the OP of the two.

That said...its depressing to see another important chess piece among the pawns leave the board, and I do agree with your reasoning. With what's left of the regular forum populace, I can't think of many candidates to take up the mantle of moderator however (but with the diminishing activity on this board, that may not even be necessary)

Ignorance truly is Bliss

This games been like this since the goon glitch. They care less and less because most likely their other games are providing a much better revenue. Check out their stocks.


I mean honestly, they have us an expansion with absolutely NO INSTRUCTIONS, no guidebook, nada lols. If that didn't hit any red flags idk what to tell ya.

Now topics I would like to continue won't be closed,woot!!
