Yesterday I had the unfortunate experience of reading an utterly disgusting thread; where supposed members of the non-existent competitive scene attacked the one player, who I believe deserved it the least, sadly I didn’t have a chance to reply to that thread yesterday, that thread seems to be deleted now and rightfully so.
Xeph, I just wanted to say that I can’t speak for the rest of the community, but please don’t get discouraged by what those people said, because I highly doubt they share a single brain cell between the lot of them. I have not seen a single one of them make a single constructive post to keep the community going, and its sad that they can barely see the fact that the community isn’t missing more hate or whine threads; its missing people who are trying to revitalize the community and keep it going.
Reading your posts and the amount of effort that you are putting into the community, I just want to make sure that it doesn’t stop and I just wanted you to know that we appreciate it, I was there in your teamspeak when you were trying to find everyone teams and looking through the thread with them trying to match them up with other people. I can honestly say that none of those players who attacked you are capable of doing; because the difference between someone who takes action and one that sits on his kitten all day and whines, is as clear as day and night. Instead of making more hate threads Xeph has given us a way to work with what little we have and has encouraged the community to try and weather the storm.
I remember in one beta weekend where Xeph was in ts with a bunch of community members for 8 hours, helping with builds and playing tournaments.
People can claim as much as they want that I am trying to kiss his kitten but in reality I just have a lot of respect for the guy, and I just don’t understand the approach that was taken by the people who are meant to be the pros of the community, it was espically disgusting to read the posts that danto made, if you guys thought you were doing the community any favours with your posts yesterday than you are sorely mistaken.
All in all, all I just wanted to say was thank you Xeph, for all the things you’ve done I will continue to support you and the rest of team paradigm, and please don’t give up!
