Bring back Classic levels and hit detection?

[Nelm]

I think the problem is less of Classic hiring "scrubby and talentless" staff and more of the talented developers not stepping up and working for Classic. This could be for multiple reasons, but if they're hiring "scrubs", they're obviously desperate for help. So where are the "talented developers"?

Would you work on a server if you believed that you were pulling the team? Would you work on a server if you knew that the content that the other developers were making would need to be remade? Would you work on a server if you knew that the release of content that the crappy developers were making was punching its reputation further into the ground? How about working on a server where you feel you're working by yourself? Doesn't seem like a very nice setting to me.

I don't get it. SOMEONE has to step up and be the person to break the cycle. I WOULD work if I felt I was pulling the team. I WOULD remake content that needed to be remade. However, if I were in this position, I would be doing my best to help the other Devs so that this wasn't an issue. I WOULD be the person trying to turn the ship around instead of being a person standing by watching it sink. If I had to work or feel like I'm by myself, I would do it.

Sometimes you have to put yourself aside and if you care about something as much as all these people who are complaining about Classic are, why is NO ONE willing to be the person responsible for turning this around? How is anything going to change if no one is willing to put the effort, and be a consistent positive influence in development?

I'm not pointing anyone out here, but someone has to be willing to step up who is fed up with all this. Otherwise, we'll be in this thread debating what SHOULD be done with Classic in 5 years.

Good post and info there. But it still doesn't change the fact that the cycle needs to be broken.

One look at the complete lack of organization and thought put into the systems and you'll soon realize that it is simply NOT worth the effort. Rebuilding them is a possibility, but you can't do that when Storm is supposedly doing that himself. You'll just be making something that might (probably won't*) get replaced, potentially wasting your time. This, among some personal reasons, is why I haven't been doing it already.
