RE: Why we are Leaving Steem!

in #drugwars6 years ago (edited)

It is difficult for me to grasp the thinking behind your posts, and the ongoing errant developments in the game. Trying to understand what might motivate the creation of the FUTURE token at this point in the game's evolution from basic principles doesn't indicate any potentially positive intentions or outcomes.

Criticisms of the writing quality of your posts aren't without validity either. You can clearly afford the cost of a competent writer, and that you do not implies one of two things: you're so arrogant you fail to grasp the negative impact of these flaws, or you're so greedy you aren't willing to pay anyone any money you might get yourself.

You might as well have named your new token FUCKUALL, as that seems to be the actual spirit behind this post, the token's creation and application, and recent changes in gameplay.

I have consistently tried to provide sound advice and good reasons to not take this path. I have not been heeded, and the current situation is the result. I have not been alone, and far wiser and better gamers have been just as ignored.

My worst offense taken by these recent events is not how they will impact DW. It's just a game, and has proved that dapps that can leverage Steem, as Steemit did for blogs, are going to fill a void that can be highly profitable. It's that linking this disappointing situation to Futureshock is going to taint that incubator with these poor decisions, and may existentially harm it, as well as Fundition.io itself.

No matter what you think of DW's future potential, it is critically important to you, DW, and the community affected that you recognize how you have horribly failed to consider your communities interests by making so many cryptic, unannounced changes, and particularly this transition to an entirely different token and economic structure. The paucity of flags on this post surprises me. You deserve much more censure than you are receiving. I think the lack of it may reflect that so many have just given up already, and no longer bother to even flag.

It's a shame that you have destroyed so much goodwill and potential beneficial interest by undertaking actions that practically seem intended to do exactly that. How can you fail to grasp that creating incentive for people to spam posts for meager upvotes will be regarded poorly? How did you not know that constantly changing gameplay without annotation or announcement would anger players? How in the hell did you fail to realize the shitstorm you would launch by dramatically changing the economic structure of the game - and particularly by abandoning Steem as the underlying currency of the game for an entirely separate blockchain - would result in the current loss of goodwill and participation of players in the game?

These are breathtakingly stupid mistakes, and they seem to keep getting worse and worse.

You guys are going to bear the marks of these decisions as long as you maintain your accounts on Steem. I highly recommend you take the lessons you are learning to heart, and keep those accounts active, because you will gain respect by that contrition, as well as self awareness that seems to elude you at present.

I wish you the best of luck, and luck appears to be what you can count on, as wisdom doesn't appear to be in your corner presently.

The only reason more than half of us joined was because it was a Steem game. It they want to create their own tokens why not use Steem-Engine to keep it on Steem. In the Discord one of the guys from DrugWars team had asked if we had already bought some Future tokens. What does that mean? Is the token already on an exchange? Why don’t we have any information on the tokens yet if people could already buy some. When he had said that I went to Steem-Engine to look and saw a Future token and thought it was them til they released a statement next morning saying it wasn’t them on the Discord announcements.

My understanding is that yes, the token is already available for sale, and it's an Obytes toke, per @edicted's last post on the matter. A lot of folks jumped on board because this was a Steem dapp. Now that it's not, well, jumping ship is how they got here to begin with.

We'll see how things go, but IMHO, it's not going well.
