Expectations | Zergs Too High | Influencer Sabotaging Game

A few things I see talked about a lot in the various Discords I'm in and also on social media...

* Peoples expectations thanks to influencers is shooting through the roof * Influencers like Pirate openly saying he's talking to Devs with his concern over guild sizes being 300 * 10k servers not revolutionary for total active players until you get a queue

I was on a Discord channel today, recruiting people. Someone said there wont be single servers per region but rather several at least and then that was argued, the founder of the Discord agreed there will be 1 per region, the other person left the Discord channel, that person was mocked after they left so people aren't getting the message that the misinformation is wrong.. expectations are off.

People like Pirate Software brings up EVE Online. 300 guild to him is very small, at minimum he says 500. The more guilds a giant group has, the more risk there is of guilds breaking off among other reasons but it only really hurts the giant guilds, not 99% of other guilds yet the firm push that it really must be more is there.. if you dont think these influencers can strongarm devs, you have another thing coming, especially if he's in contact with them.

Overall I'm seeing influencers, not ordinary people starting to setup expectations that may be technologically impossible while still being profitable.. I think there needs to be strong emphasis that this game is not EVE Online, it will never be EVE Online even if certain aspects are borrowed from it and that this game shouldn't be dictated by influencers because once they get bored and leave, what are you left with?

The focus must be on ordinary players, ordinary guilds while players need to understand there are limitations and good reasons why 300 is guild cap and 10k (from what I've heard) consecutive players is cap before queue starts.

Rant over

DONT let influencers fuck this game up please because they 100% if you let them
