BMD Cant farm weed

[Grunt]

-snip-

Continuing on from Bob's post,

I'd like to clarify something, I'm not ungrateful for Pollux and the Development teams now regular updates, as you said its good that FL is actually getting some attention with regards to development.

The initial point of the thread was to highlight that a major part of UndergroundRP being the BMD's ability to farm weed had been changed without warning and appeared to be without consultation.

The thread has since changed and become somewhat salty with the removal of my comment without warning and the criticism of Pollux's decisions. When you make a big change you are going to rustle some jimmies on the forums because not everyone is going to agree on the change. This dialogue is good and shouldn't be shut down - which it hasn't and I'm happy it hasn't. I say this in regards to your comment about the dev's getting more hate than the staff atm. Pollux mainly has been getting flack as he has made some major changes without consulting the community for opinions (which he doesnt have too yes but its a good idea too) and whenever critisism is faced it has resulted in complete denial and censorship. He also has a fair few unconcluded PR's on hold which may be a contributor to the fact the thread has gone the way it has.

Being a developer isn't easy, countless hours coding and 100 times more debugging. But you only have to look at other gaming companies that don't take into the account of the opinion online in the forums to see that large backlashes occur when you change things without gauging the mass opinion (rip EA with loot boxes).

I'd like to think that Pollux and the team can learn from this situation and use it to progress decision making and leadership within the community - again I do not wish to spread hate but the reactions were not unprovoked.

But with regards to your comment about signing up to be a contributor - I might do yes.
