Dear Facepunch...
You've literally brought a community together to hate the new version of Rust... Its sad to see a single Developer turn on the community that has been playing the game since legacy, smurky tweets will not bring in more players, Alistair we will be coping when your development team is on their knees begging for their players to come back.
The Competitive Scene has fallen and the skill gap is gone, there is no point in grinding a spray reliant on aimcone...
H1Z1 did exactly this and got Rid of their experienced players to bring in New Players. FacePunch the New Players do not stay and the people that have stayed WILL leave, Corporate Greed will be the end of your game. you may not understand it now but most people are not happy with the current state of rust and are just forced to enjoy it... every update from the last 6 months have no effort put into them at all, please start taking the game seriously, this is no longer a competitive survival game everyone thought they were getting into, If you start actually paying attention your community might come back, stop listening to Reddit they manage your game and do not play it.
Sincerely,
-Your ACTUAL Community
