If you took a poll to see if people would rather have a new gmap or the current gmap, the majority would vote to use the current gmap. Meanwhile, if you took a vote to see if players would rather have a new quest where the reward is a brand new gun or a new gmap, they would all choose the new quest.
Catch my drift?
And again, what the players want is important in all cases. Just because 2 people will come on here and say "LOL WE NEED DUPING" isn't the point I'm trying to prove. Obviously in those cases it's either lose 98 percent of your playercount or lose 2 percent of you playercount, and the answer will always be "cya later!" But in some cases, the management seems to just flat out not care about what players think because they'd rather have everything the way they want it even if it contradicts what the rest of era wants. Maybe if you tried talking to people and coming up with some sort of compromise, it would work out better. Maybe you could add a second gmap with all new stuff rather than deleting the old and making a new. A simple compromise like that from the beginning would have taken 2 seconds of additional work while now, it would be nearly an impossibility since the new gmap is almost done. But because the management has a lack of communication with the rest of the server, nobody ever got any point accross to anyone.

Well, I think that the new gmap is one of the things that dont need player input, really. There are several problems with the current one, including being too big and also looking fugly in some places. The new gmap also looks somewhat identical to the old one in some places, I really dont see any problems with that.
About player communication, I actually communicate with players alot, since I myself am still playing (or atleast try to do so), and I also write down good ideas and try to realize them later.
It's just that sometimes people have to live with changes. They did before, and they still can/will.
Going to bed now *yawns* Maybe we can go on tomorrow ;D
