Your rant is very much justified, no need to worry about pouring your heart into it here /index.php?/profile/394-sickness/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="394" href="/index.php?/profile/394-sickness/" rel="">@Sickness! It really sucks to see that most people just don't get the work you're putting in. It's a damn shame, and nobody deserves that.
I think we're getting close to a common problem here—the current players and community. It seems like they're the ones causing a lot of the issues. It kinda pisses me off because I truly believe this can be fixed over time. Imagine if a server could reach out to a whole new player base and get a solid number of players who aren't just whining about 100% cast and hasty content. Instead, we'd have players who want to explore Iris for the very first time and really enjoy a challenging yet rewarding grind. I know you're skeptical, and with good reason, but how fucking awesome would it be if I am right?
Oh, and a quick correction: There are plenty of cases where copyrighted material has been used "illegally" and won counter-notice battles with big platforms like the ones you mentioned. If official LC took legal action, they could, but it doesn't mean you automatically lose. In fact, if you build a strong case, there's a pretty good chance you could come out unscathed. Sure, things could also go to shit, but it's not fair to say you can't change the outcome no matter what.
By the way, I just wanted to say it's great to hear all the thoughts shared here. You can really see the wealth of experience and passion that this topic brings out. Thanks to all of you who take the time to post here ?
