You also have to take the fact that being a Graal developer isnt a job in almost all the cases. Most developers do it for fun and still want/have to do something else in their freetime.

I never once suggested that developers shouldn't have a life. I do ganis a lot and still have a life. And I also never suggested once that Era staff isn't making any developments. It's the fact that these developments Era is making is in all the places that the majority of the players DON'T want. 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.
