Why is the idea of a community causing so much troll?
I think this should restated

Look guys, I know I've trolled a lot, and I've enjoyed it however. Despite the pain in the ass it is for ya.
I am a strong opponent of jagex, however the prototype community has fallen apart
..to the point where jagex has more players on their aos than ours, and that is no ones fault but our own.
What we need, is to push our prototype to everything it can be. And despite what you may say, it damn sure is not being utilized effectively. Open spades actually has ALOT of the players from steam interested, much more than the broken .75 we are stuck with right now. ..not to mention pinpoint and hallway are always being overplayed. And the SMG oping the rifle.
Another option, is .76
To be honest, it's just not ace of spades anymore. Yeah jagex took the game out of Bens direction, but have we not done what Ben would have wanted, either?
I see why you were banned now, the player count for 1.x is incorrect most of the time, it is really almost the same to BaS.
We haven't done what ben wanted, and JaGex didn't do what ben wanted.
This is what ben wanted aperently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC6WYIETbCo
is it acceptable that a server hoster openly hacks on his server and abuses the commands to such an extent that people find it impossible to play on it?
What are your thoughts on this? Hoping an admin would also reply this time..
Part of the beauty of this game is that it is open enough for players to have the freedom to be in control. If you don't like something that's being provided, then try a different available option or do it your own way.
Build and Shoot is a medium between providers and players, and dictating what can be provided and chosen would be a controlled environment that goes against the philosophy of this game and Build and Shoot. Whatever a provider chooses to do within their own environment is entirely up to them (who are we to be the God of a God?) as long as they don't have a direct negative affect on the service provided by Build and Shoot. An example of control we consider acceptable is banning servers that spoof player counts because servers like that lead players to incorrectly assume that the master server is malfunctioning.
The bottom line is no one wants to play on a badly managed server, especially if intentionally abused by its owner(s). Players are fast learners and you can bet that they will never rejoin the server in question that was impossible to play on.
Yeah that makes sense. I was just freaking out at the thought of all the experiences of players he was personally ruining..he has basically put himself in a position where he is an immortal hacker, can't be votekicked and can't be banned. Sad that a person would do such a thing. However this might be a little exaggerated seeing as how you can quit the server whenever you like, heck his server isn't even on the master currently. Thanks for replying.

I completely agree with Izzy,
The purpose of BaS is to be the central hub where all the servers are hosted, and where the 0.xx community gathers.
Thus, it isn't the fault of BaS that we play on such horrible, hacker infested, and badly administrated severs.
Other than that, we could use a blacklisting feature for the serverlist?

Things to consider:
Posting a response that has little to do about the community and is geared towards an individual, I consider off topic.
Even the post I made yesterday. If we count it up we have more off topic posts than quality posts on these last few pages.
Quit threatening to close the thread and just close it.
Also, the OP is off-topic in this case, because he titled his thread Community, yet talking about the game.

Correct, it's not AoS anymore. Fagex's version *is* Ben's, though, because he works for them.
What we really need is to go back to 0.35, or thereabouts.

I agree completely, of course. What Jagex did was pull out originality. What we're left with is a war-torn pre-1.0 version of AoS that just doesn't quite fit.
It's made up of Ben's best bits, with the not-so-well-thought-out contributions of others. Think OpenSpades, and the new map editor. Why oh why can't we just go back to 0.35 and use VOXED?
