Where is the development?

[Dimitris]

I'll quote my resignation;

"The Developers are a blessing to this community and the root of their demotivation is totally understandable...The work of a Developer is by far the fundamental building block of a community and sometimes it seems that they are underappreciated...by the playerbase"

The Developers can make updates as much as they want and I agree the pay is a nice new incentive; however, any time there is a new update a large section of the community go up in arms over it; and surprisingly that's not going to motivate them much is it?

Your point about getting negative response to an update clearly shows that maybe what they created isn't that good, wasnt needed or not what the community wants. This criticism is good for developers as it shows hmm maybe that wasnt good, how can I improve from this to get better and show them what I can do instead of crawling in their mums basements and crying "oh Dimitris didn't like my update mommy please come kiss my ass and tell me I did good!!!" no, in life you will get negative criticism yes some maybe harsh and uncalled for but all criticism is good if you know how to process it and not sit and dwell on negative feedback. What I would personally like to see personally is a refresh where devs all go back down to contributor and will have to work their way back up towards dev Connbob could stay as dev to watch over as it would make no sense as there wouldn't be any devs to re-promote them.

I am going to go through the list of devs and give a few words about them.
Awestruck: Havent seen an update since he rejoined used to work on the bot until arny took over and left now its broken and doesn't work.
Broccoli: your a good dev however I haven't seen much from you since returning
"CodeKnight"/Mavis/Codedbrain: stop changing your name, yes you have put some work in but I want to see some fresh content not oh yes bug fix.
Conn: well not much from you either but whatever I suppose your busy doing SA shit whatever you even do in that role is beyond me.
DarkN00b: made a few models and is literally kept on for if they ever need a model made its a shame really.
Edned: bug fixer meh
Rylund/Snowred: done a few bug fixes meh
Tomo: does a few web things hasn't done much in ages.


Contributors (basically gfx artists at this point):
Envy: good gfx artist havent seen much though
Jim: haven't seen anything
Richie: not very good at gfx your loading screen concept was awful in my opinion, literally made a banner for the event coords isn't hard changing the color on photoshop and changing an emoji.

Semi rant over. 
tl;dr devs please just become more active and Divey restructure dev team and demote them if they arent active.

Hit the nail in the coffin, I cant ass lick all devs and say all updates they release at good if they are actually not.
