if people would praise the development team for the good things they release, with a few bugs or not, they'll end up being more inspired.

You suggested it. He disagreed.

This is a big picture item here, try to see past what it is now.

As a player, why would I take a release and think of how it could be done instead of taking the release at face value and using what it currently does? I'm not going to praise something that has the potential to be good if it currently isn't either, I'm going to praise something that is good. If something has been released for the sake of releasing something (and it is pretty obvious too) why would anyone accept that as a contributing factor to removing stagnation? Because it is content and it is a release?

A system like this does have potential (I have something similar in functionality on that server you seem eager to bring up every time you can't find something to say) but I don't see how releasing what was released on Classic in its current state is contributing to the bigger picture of removing the stagnation of the server at current, because it isn't.

The chat system and the icon are aesthetically inconsistent with the systems on Classic in favor of a more generic style that isn't used on the server anywhere at all. That is why I stated that it isn't cohesive with the rest of the server and perhaps if it matched Classic a little more it would be cohesive after all.

DarkCloud_PK [A]: the more compliments and positive response a dev team gets for their work, they more they will be inspired to do more
TheDae [A]: They dont do anything worth praising
DarkCloud_PK [A]: thats why i dont make events anymore, because people never gave me compliments or use the **** i made
maximus_asinus [A]: Dae, this system is a prime example of something good
DarkCloud_PK [A]: ok thedae, how about we just be stagnant for another 4 years

I dont see how that toall log relates to what I said.
If people keep up the attitude that the dev team does NOTHING worth any praise, they won't develop at all. If you don't develop at all, what does that turn into? Definitely not stagnation, oh no not that.
