RE: An Open Letter to the GLS and SPL Communities

first :)

I feel that everyone earns their credibility, its never given. Its ok to be skeptical of anyone. And everyone has their own opinions and require their own thresholds to earn trust.

I think the concern about anything bad happening is misplaced though. In fact if you think about it, the community collectively showed it is more powerful than any leader or even the devs themselves in this situation.

We have a LOT of very smart and well-meaning players that really look out for each other. This is a very powerful dynamic that should not be under-estimated.

While I hated to see the division and negativity caused by this whole event, I can also see the bright side. Think of all the players that spent their time and energy to "do something to protect the game".

And to your final point, while I might be considered soft or on the lovey dovey side of things, there are many that certainly are not. I have no doubt that everyone will remember this and its impact will be felt for a very long time. ps... that's not a bad thing either!
