Unlike you, most players here are grown up and understand how to get along with one another and just play games like adults.
Most of us do not aim at being the shining piece of shit on the top of the trash pile made of the 100 remaining active players worldwide.
There is just no point to that at all for the large majority of players, if the player base was double that amount the top of the ladder would certainly just be featuring totally different names and we all know it.
Most players just come back here to enjoy some games and have a bit of fun knowing perfectly well they are not trying to be the very best and have nothing to prove. The primary goal is the fun and the secondary goal is the win.
These players that really try in all their games represent at the very best 25 members of our current player base, they may be loud but they are irrelevant for the server growth lets get that straight out of the way...
The negativity and elitism they sometimes bring with them probably is doing more harm than good anyways toward that goal.
No new player or new comer is going to ever tell you "it is so nice to be around players who are full of themselves and never miss an occasion to show it"...
They more probably will think it is pathetic to see these guys care so much about their wins and losses that they forget all about the rest...
Yes, there are probably still stupid people hacking a 25+ years old game. These people have just no self respect and are as dumb as it gets...
If they happen to be obviously using hacks in our games or whatever we can just call them out for it and we stop playing with them, end of story...
Good luck for them finding people that want to play with them in the future after that... We are not that many left, especially on your server it does not take long for a player to earn a bad rep
.
You get the point of how useful a anti-hack really is to the common players with our current numbers... Lets just say not much...
Most players know and like most of the players they hangout and play with...
