I don't know what to say, I know the servers hard to run and you need help coding and such. but we've screamed pvp at you for some time, and it's still pve this pve that. but PvP was exhilarating, a lot of what the community did and the reason a lot of the bastion vets were on revolved around pvp, and still it seems you've made moves that haven't really added value to the experience but slowed it down by branching into other areas and making the branches rather large, and they weren't very quality branches. i haven't really been paying too much attention to whats going on because it seems like it's a cycle of us saying pvp, and you taking it a different direction. maybe its cause you don't understand your pvp community because you weren't part of the towns, you didn't see it or experience it from our side. I remember lag spikes going on in bastion and wanting to punch a wall because of the stupidity, and you were over there telling the server how you had herobook polished up. PvP is addicting, the fast paced combat got our adrenaline going and along with bounties/tourny's we got our neurochemicals/nervous system going and our drives told us to seek more. But then you slowed down combat, made the maps bigger, seperated pvp/pve etc etc
Think of it this way, there's this girl you really like. You see her often, and when things are great, they're fucking great. But maybe, things change. Over time she says. I'm gunna stop sucking your dick. and you get sad, cause you really like getting your dick sucked. Then she starts putting her finger in your bum. and you don't fuck with that, but she keeps doing it, progressively escalating the finger in your anus, and decreasing the blowjobs. You fucking love this girl, and you thought you would spend the rest of your life with her, but shes practically fucking you in the ass and your stuck. You even consider changing your ways, and try to help the relationship by putting in your input and telling her how you feel. She looks at you and tells you shes gunna change and the futures gunna be great. The next morning you see a stickypad on the fridge and it says " hey honey, I thought about our future and I left you a gift on the table" you go to the table and see a box with a big red ribbon on it. You tear off the ribbon in excitement and open the future. It's a dildo, a big fucking dildo- just for you.
the veterans are toxic and pissed because we loved herocraft. It was our escape from our lives, the younger versions of us put off school work, healthy eating, sleeping, and played this shit all the time. a lot of us still hope that the server will get back to way things were, any fucking time I talk to the vets we're like "man those were the fucking days" we have hundreds of memories and would love to relive them. We're disgusted because facing our real lives started to seem better than focusing on herocraft. at least for some of us. some of us grew up and are trying to be people, some haven't changed one bit. but anyways, we loved this place. The good and bad from us all came from a place of love.

@Kainzo what the fuck have you been doing about it?
