My claim is preeminent not in an outlandish cocky way. I say it is because its a reality thats closest to becoming true. It doesn't take someone 4 years to find a developer. If it does, then Zain either A) Doesn't know how to actually find one or B) Hasn't given it his undivided attention in the past 2 years. You can only say "I'm Busy" only so many times before it become very clear it simply isn't a priority. There are zero excuses on that note. That is how the world works. I dont think it could annoy me anymore if Zain were to deny that. There are zero shortcuts here. There are ways to get developers. It really is a financial issue and i'm assuming that Zain could probably find one but certainly couldn't afford one. That or he doesn't care.
Neglected Responsibilities? Mind you this entire servers management is completely up to Zain. How the staff act, how maps are created, game mode, how everything works socially and mechanically is up to Zain. The reason you or any staff member can act the way you do around players is up to Zain. He can crack down on anything he chooses to put his hands into. He chooses not to and thats completely okay. If Zain doesn't want to uphold the foundation of his server in all its integrity thats his choice. He doesn't have a responsibility to do anything for anyone concerning this server. What i'm not doing here is calling you, Zain, or any of the staff out for being incompetent, rather i'm asking for simple honesty. Maybe you are incompetent, if you are its okay to say that. We're not perfect.
Qualified or not? I ask for simple honesty. My first paragraph in the earlier post is sufficient enough. If you truly understood what I said (maybe re-read it) you may come to understand just what I mean. The way me or anyone makes decisions is much like Schrödinger's cat where every decision you make concerning an unknown is a 50/50. In this case I am certain I can be 50% sure Factions will come out. I can also be 50% sure it wont come out. Tell me Trenly, if you've been promised something for 2-3-4 years and you never received it would you likely still believe it'll come out? Well who cares what you want to believe right? Its realistic to think or put your faith in the worst outcome to prepare for it. Thats how it works in U.S. presidential elections as well. No matter what side you're on if you screw up bad you aren't running for a second term! That is what compels peoples decisions in this world as far as a community whole thinks. Our individual idea and perceptions are more individualistic but as a whole there is more logic in them (HHGN as a whole) and the reason the population has been going down is bec/ this community as a whole has little faith in management now, and rightfully so.
The entire reason I can feel qualified in making a statement like this is because of exactly what I've seen and felt in this community for the past 2 years. There are other things that require Zain's attention you say? Once again, a very clear indicator this server in ever sense is not his priority. if it is his priority then its clearly a financial issue because Zains a smart guy. He'd get this done if he cared. So either he has no money or he doesn't care. Which is it? If he doesn't care he should come out and say that. If he has no money he should come out and say that. Am I clear on this!?! Either way there is no excuse... no real excuse to keep saying "It'll be done when its done". Especially considering that this server will definitely be dead in the next three years if he doesn't do something. Being qualified shouldn't even make sense to you now that I've explained all this. Infact if me stating all of this wasn't a Red Flag to HHGNs management that something was wrong I would argue (bluntly) Zain isn't fit to manage period.
This should definitely concern him. Surely you'd want to take the time and really analyze the situation to see what can be fixed.
Trenly, I want to reach some common ground here. Hate messaging is not my style and I admit this post of mine might seem a bit agressive but I assure you thats not my intention. I'm a very practical person that does consider the emotional side of the world, I get it, trust me. I personally couldn't care less about factions but honesty is something I do care about. I've analyzed this quite a bit and I think in every direction and I can only wonder how you can not believe me. This doesn't have to be hard. Something is clearly wrong here and you cant deny it. I'd think you'd almost be heroic in standing up here and not simply being another statue staff member putting 100% of your faith in Zain. Nothings wrong here. It would be completely okay if Zain or you simply stated the actual issue with factions weather it be financial or having trouble finding a developer. But be specific. Dont tell me its taken you 2 years to find a developer. If it has, its a financial issue. And if its a financial issue you can tell the community that. There is no harm in expressing to the community the actual reality.
This is my own personal opinion here but I believe promising something with zero merit is one of the most terrible things you could do to a community you've nurtured and fostered over the years.
