  i know how the devs cook. i’ve been following this game since closed beta. tons of passion but many actions can really only be taking as loathing their playerbase.

  I just have this thing where when I see the devs burning it I have to say something.

  Doing my part to balance out you being ratio’d. Obviously everyone plays this with different expectations, but for some of the players, I think they arent trying to have fun but trying to be the first to find flaws.
