What Happened

[Fernando Naranj]

Hello everyone. Recently I have been in touch with some now-retired and active FC members, I was astonished to hear what I heard..

A few days ago I was pitched the idea of coming back to FC and buying an Xbox One. The thought of this has been put on the back burner due to the horrible actions and events that have happened since my departure at the end of 2013-2014.

EVERYTHING said about this community has been bad. I have not heard a single nice/positive thing about FC and it makes me sad. It seems that the community has been led astray from its original path of Fun and Respect. Friends that I still talk to today who I met in the community have left for reasons that people shouldn't be leaving for, people left in H4 for the game being terrible. Now people are leaving because of other members and childish antics.

Where has the Fun and Respect gone?

I would agree to a point with what you've said, but I'd also like to point out that you've more than likely only heard one side of the story. If you only ask people who have left the community, you are mostly just going to hear the reasons they left - the bad things. I'm also not entirely sure who the active members you've been talking to are, but I know a lot of people who would say the opposite of this. Sure, the community has a few issues at the moment, but it definitely hasn't 'lost' respect and fun like you think, and a lot of people are working pretty hard to continue improving it.

I disagree with this completely, especially when members are leaving because there is a lack of respect.

I agree with the whole OP.

i will agree, i've only been active on the fringes of FC and i've seen at least one new recruit flat out leave, pissed and feeling disrespected for various reasons, even by the high command. I'm not super active on anything other than some skype groups and the forums, so i can't say for sure how the overall picture is, but the respect issue needs to be cracked down on a bit.

Community had drama llamas back then as well.....Trust me. I was in SecondNature, we were straight up drama llamas.

People just are focused on just winning and get pissy when they lose. When I first joined, losing a game or so was never an issue because we had tons of fun. Now (before I stepped away again) it's like if my team loses, everyone is in a bad mood and there in nothing but complaining happening :/

I'm sure in other groups, this isn't an issue. But it really kills the enjoyment when everyone you have to play with are all angry at the game AND each other :/

Can't agree more Fernando, I've been saying this for months now. Through many fiascos.

I applaud you, and stand united in your opinion because simply this is not the community you, Barry and I all joined March 2013. It's morphed to so,etching much different.

I don't know much about what has been going on other than what I've heard but it hasn't sounded as bad as you made it sound. Still as I always say, if you aren't happy about the state of the community then make do something about it to change it and make it better. People always have the power to change to state of FC. c:

(Although I wouldn't buy an Xbox One just for that xD)
