[QUOTE=GimmickDinger;43980651]Meh, I'll check back on the game in 3 months when the community is down to 3k players and development is over. The fact is you can't run a studio like this for very long.[/QUOTE]
I look forward to that fine, warm, sunny May day when I can look at this guy coming back to a vibrant, thriving, just-as-dumb Rust community with the same or better player stats (Rust's still peaking at about 48k daily players, and it's been up there ever since the initial flood of traffic died off at Steam launch, and don't forget that whitelisting by Steam group is just starting to go live) and laugh long and hard.

Also just going to point out that the "10,000 hours" is a number he pulled out of his ass for total server man-hours worth of work lost. It's no less ridiculous an argument to make, but it's one you didn't actually read properly. :v:

I kinda wanted to hint it out that it was a ridiculous statement, seeing how Rust has had multiple wipes.
[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;43980773]I kinda wanted to hint it out that it was a ridiculous statement, seeing how Rust has had multiple wipes.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but what he's saying is, a combined 10,000 hours (which I doubt, but it's not [I]totally[/I] unrealistic as you'll see in a moment) was lost. You're arguing that this is preposterous, but he's talking about an official server. Official servers have basically not been wiped in a few months.
If 200 people play on an official server over the course of a week (not an unreasonable number), and each of those 200 people put a total of 50 hours since Rust was released on one server, that's 10,000 hours of man-hours spent on a single official server in two months.
This is not a terribly unrealistic number to calculate. Even if he likely did pull it out of his ass. And even if his ultimate argument is stupid.
You're actually coming across as dumber than him by continuing to argue the completely wrong point. You come across as totally not understanding his post, and then doubling down on stupid grudges when you reinforce your argument.

I just stumbled across that thread myself, and holy jesus, that thread.
[QUOTE=Zyler;43981062]The issue that people who were around before Rust have with the people who are just joining now is about the issue of entitlement. When you buy into a game in a early-access alpha state, you are expected to realise that the game isn't in a finished or developed state at that time. Think about the difference between when Minecraft was first in alpha versus where it is now (no weather, no biomes, no blocks besides grass, dirt, stone and water, only basic tools, no monsters besides zombies and the only animals were pigs and there was no health bar or sprinting or potions or ender dragon or nether, or anything really). In fact, think about what minecraft was like before alpha, Minecraft Classic, which was just a simple block building game with no premise or survival elements whatsoever.
Rust is arguably at that stage right now. The game is being actively developed and constantly updated with new features that may drastically change the game. Considering the game hasn't even been out for a year yet, a year from now you might not even recognize it. With that in mind, the main issue people are complaining about are hackers. Garry and his team have released updates and are continuing to work towards a hacker-free build of the game. Thousands of people have already been banned but there are simply so many people hacking that they haven't gotten around to banning them all yet. They simply cannot ban people based on reports since that is so prone to abuse it's not even funny, and yet people continue to post reports DEMANDING that offenders be banned despite it being made very clear that things don't work that way and that facepunch forum mods don't have the power to ban people within games (outside the forums). The only way to effectively deal with large amounts of hackers is by systematically working through the codebase and looking for ways to detect hacks that are using exploits as a way to automatically ban them. The facepunch team is delligently working through this as fast as they can and it really isn't reasonable for people with no experience in programming to essentially try to whip them and say "go faster!" when it really isn't helping anyone. It is certainly possible in the near-future that hacking in Rust will be the exception not the rule but until that time comes, will you please stop attacking facepunch mods and users who have nothing to do with the development of the game? And will you please stop attacking the developers who are already working hard to fix the problem? You really have no right to complain when you bought a in-development game that the developers are still developing. If I were you, I'd save my breath until the facepunch team stops working on the game when it is half-finished and still full of hackers, but given Garry's track record of supporting his other game for almost 8 years, I don't think you'll need to worry about that.[/QUOTE]
This is a good, well done post, and I can't wait for people to just dismiss it and shitpost harder
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43981043]Shut up.
You're being called out because you're a moron, not because of any Gold Member elitism. If you put some effort into thinking and posting like an actual human being, maybe you wouldn't so consistently get the short and shitty end of the stick.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=IGotWorms;43981047]It looks like you just came here to flame and troll and bitch about people who are supporting Facepunch. You haven't even bothered to chime in with any thoughts whatsoever on what this actual thread was about.
I'll reiterate what I already posted though. The game is in Alpha and the top priority for the developers should be to "develop" the game.
They have already caught countless cheaters with VAC and 5000+ initially and counting with their implementation of Cheatpunch. How exactly is that ignoring the problem? It would be a waste of their time at this point to personally investigate individual reports of players cheating. VAC & Cheatpunch have been doing a better job (and automated at that) combined than anti-cheat measures I've seen in many other games. Additionally, it is highly likely they are gathering data on the cheats that players are using who haven't been banned yet for future ban waves.[/QUOTE]

Keep it up, maybe some day he will slap a star on your helmet. The lot of you are all a bunch of little tit sucking wannabe mods. Keep posting away and making your little 2 line witty responses to all of the concerned members who paid for this game just like you did (or didnt). You act as if they have no say and showing concern is a crime here. Get used to it and stop trying to white knight for the staff team. They are adults and know how to handle things.[/QUOTE]

And, like, make it so that if a user's first post was in the rust forums their username is a fecal brownish color
or even better, 99% transparent
