Continuous staff criticism

Well said. Players need to appreciate everything the staff does for the server a bit more apart from just non stop complaining.

 

I think players should appreciate mods more then they do. I believe it's disrespectful to not and respect as many mods as I can.

 

Your argument is very weak. Brawl already breaks EULA. Not sure why you said admins are trying to prevent it.

The rest of it was not worth my time to argue against.

 

First of all: Criticism is fine, if not great for brawl staff. There is never enough GOOD criticism. the problem is that some people just criticize brawl and its mods just 'because'. Some of the things people are criticizing brawl for are very true (brittan got demoted, and I honestly believe that was a good choise). I can see that the amount of rants are atrocious at times, but atleast they aren't pointless rants.

Now about all the staff,

The administrators are fine. They work hard, rarely do they get rants (Except for brittan, and they DID fix that. Showing that they atleast know what to do and what not to).

The developers, I have to somewhat disagree on. The coders SAY that they are working on the new servers, but we hardly got any evidence of that. Until the rants finally got the coders to do some work (War finally got fixed, New server information, etc). Sure, it may take long to code something. But they promised things that clearly weren't true, which is why there were so many rants on coders.

Senior Moderators are also somewhat positive. Most of the S mods are doing a great job on the servers. However, I believe that 2 of the Smods just shouldn't be Smods. That is because they have another Rank that makes them less able to do their jobs as a Smod. But despite that, the Smods are most likely fine.

Most moderators are also doing their jobs fine. Honestly, the mods we have are very good at what they are doing. The only problem I have is the fact that some of the newer McPvP mods are more active in game to the point of them being inactive on the forums.

And junior mods+Wiki team are an entirely different subject.


Honestly, the staff are somewhat doing fine. The only problem is that:
1. There are too little
2. They aren't doing their job as good as they should be doing it.


But here is something that kind of annoys me:

This is just stupid. No criticism? Really? So we should accept that some of the staff members aren't doing their job as good as they should be? There should always be staff criticism. It helps the server more than it hurts it.

 

Things are about to get feisty in this thread.

 

Criticism actually affects Brawl positively.
Stopping it will make the quality of our staff drop, even if you want to prevent it. I understand that you are a bit younger than the majority of community, and you may not fully get the idea of criticism, but listen - pointing out flaws will get them fixed faster than not caring about them at all.

 

I have critiqued staff and provided solutions on many occasions.

I appreciate that they are volunteers. That said I think the root cause is leadership to focus on the most value added tasks.

 

Well said imo.

 

Criticism can be good as it points out your flaws. However, there is a difference between criticism and constructive criticism. Without criticism there is no way of knowing what you are doing right or wrong.

 

I'd say I agree with coders having a large workload but they have AMPLE time to do their work. 2 years for a gamemode? Oh come ON. MCPVP coded gamemodes in months. The development was lightning fast there. Now, the staff were terrible in other areas (PR) but the coding was great.

 

Everything from the SMODs (including them) and down is doing their jobs just fine in my opinion. It's the devs and the admins lack of work that is causing the criticism. And for the volunteering thing, they can resign or leave at any time, but they choose to stay. So while they're here they could actually maybe do some work. With the new servers, they shouldn't announce or promise something that they are not capable of doing in the time span also announced. I believe that we appreciate staff who do their job, and a little kindness goes a long way.

 

Most staff is fine.

Except for the developers.

Instead of working on War 2.0 they made it so we can hear people reload in WarZ...

 

Brawl is in violation of the EULA. They are making a profit off of the game through something that is not a video.

 

No, it doesn't. It only allows profit via voluntary donations or cosmetic perks. I read the EULA. It's pretty vague, but it makes that clear.

 

The EULA prohibits that. No donations that result in a gameplay changing perk is allowed.

 

We break the rules of the EULA.
