Xelt redid TC without permission adding lava and all kinds of random things. Xelt added a huge ugly pirate ship. Xelt added a "forest maze" and water to a random spot of our GMAP that used to be fun to drive your car through. The ideas that these "disgruntled dev staff" were coming up with were likely ones that were pointless, or not a priority. It's the Manager's JOB to decide whether a project is relevant or not, not the Dev staff who want to work on their own projects.
I dont even want to get into favoritism with you Tig. Let's leave that at that.

Agreed in regards to Tig.
In any event, I'm not sure if you were rebudding my post or supporting it. In regards to yours, I'd fully agree pertaining to Developers having to put time into what the Manager assigns them rather than them undertaking projects of their own. Thats the Management's job, and they should have to sign off on all things released, seeing as its their neck at the end of the day. I've always said that, Developers should be "yes" men. Not in entirety, but their work should be the product of the management, not of their own wild ideas. They can request or suggest things but not take the liberty to making things a priority without the conscent of the Management or Administration. Most they should do without permission is speak. Sounds dark, but its really ideal and the best way to handle things. This is of course, only if the Management knows what he wants and what he's doing.
