Wrath, who just resigned after working incredibly hard on AoS for about half a year and fixing everything the community asked for. Had his retirement thread locked because people were thanking him and talking about why they think he left. The communities consensus is that the devs did not work hard enough to allow the game to continue to progress. Also this thread was moved out of the "announcements" section because "this thread was not approved to be post in Announcement." After working on this game for half a year for free he can not even put an announcement in the "announcement" section. lol. After seeing this I private messaged Red, tacticmove in this thread, asking why he was bm to wrath and his response was this,
"Really?
So if someone writes a thread that will involve someone getting BM'd or flamed. I shouldn't stop that because, you know what, a decent number of people think it's productive and maybe entertaining. I should not have the authority to stop something that I believe could cause damage to the community. No, that's not my problem at all. What's the point of having moderators in the first place? You know why? It's because we want to make sure nothing terrible goes wrong, no turmoil, no rioting, Ohhh I bet you love to see that, but that's not going to happen here. You better believe that no other community wants that kind of bullshap."
This to me just showed that there would still be a lack of work on the game but all threads talking about it would be locked because it may cause "rioting".
P.S. this post does not represent Wrath's feelings towards this just how many people saw this situation play out.
