sometimes i wonder why anyone bothers modding. i try to make the game fun, but i can't make everyone happy. someone's always going to be bitching over something. complaining about one of the other mods, over events, over rules... i'm pretty sure it's just the same handful of people keeping the wank going, but it's still pretty discouraging, especially since you can't really do anything about it without coming off as a butthurt jerk.
if you're not happy, then find somewhere you will be happy, because you're bringing me down pretty effectively lately.
i'm so sorry you're in that situation. i've modded around, and it took me a long while to find a game i'm comfortable modding in. i've been modding there four years now, and i regret nothing.
sorry to say it, but it's true. i learned it after years of modding, and tbh i'm never going back. maybe all these asshole players will be sorry when there's no one left who wants to mod their games.
Asshole players are often ambitious. They'll step up, then get a taste of what they put you through. Then another asshole who thinks they can do better will take their place.
i think we're burning through assholes faster than we get new blood though
we'll eventually run out of people stupid enough to volunteer, and it's actually happening now in some places. i've been in a few games where no one wanted to step up at all
trouble is, i don't want to quit modding. i like keeping the game running smoothly for the players who appreciate it. the game's been going pretty well for a long time and i take pride in that. i don't expect constant thanks and buttpats, but it would be nice to hear less from the assholes.
... though i guess asking people not to be assholes on the internet might be a bit much.
Modding almost completely killed my desire to RP at all. I'm only just recovering after a few months of dropping my whiny ass players to do shit themselves. Which I'd like to note they haven't.
