Now I'm sure not everyone knows who I am, because I've only been back for 3 weeks, but I've played Zarp since 2015, and took a break at the end of 2016 till recently. So I like to consider myself well-educated on what Zarp used to be and what it's become (or atleast my perspective on what it's became in the past 3 weeks I've played.) I do get servers need to change to maintain an active player base and keep people entertained and such, but I'd like to address the few issues on why I'm quitting.
1. Economy
As much as people may disagree with this, I believe the economy is extremely bad as of now compared to what it was in the past. I do get Zarp never resets it's eco, and never will so there will be a constant income of money, but from what it was 2 years ago, it seems a lot, "less fun."
2. The Player Base
The new players that I've seen on Zarp are nothing but complete assholes, and I'm sure anyone could agree with me on this. The Player base itself is really toxic, and honestly it disrupts any bit of fun I could of had while playing these past few weeks.
3. Basing
As for Basing goes, it's hardly done anymore compared to what it used to be. Mega-Basing on Zarp used to be an every day thing, and now it rarely occurs. It seems as if nobody is interested, it's just not beneficial to do, due to the economy.
4. Suits
Now addressing this I understand I've not had an Evo or ACS, so I've yet to experience them and cannot have my opinion be that valid regarding them. I played back when the Jugg Suit, and Nano Suit were the only things available, and tbh even the Jugg at the time seemed a little "over-powered" or far-fetched to fair. The Mummy Suit seems like a stretch to anything fun or enjoyable. There is absolutely no counter-play to it, and they cannot be 'ripped.' And like I said for the ACS and Evo, I think they're fine regarding they aren't too op and the hp and armor on them is fair.
5. The Staff Team
Don't get me wrong, the majority of the new staff team I've talked to (Dramn, Sala, Joker, Jawson, Whidd, [When he was staff] Loxeo) are all fantastic staff and know how to balance doing their job and having fun. But as for the entirety of the team, I feel like they're all less focused on moderation than staff used to be. I like to think I have good knowledge and judgement on this regarding I'm an ex-admin, and have seen how it used to be compared to what I believe it is now.
I could rant on about the faults of Zarp for paragraphs, because I love Zarp, and I've put thousands and thousands of hours into it, and have dedicated a lot of time in it. All I have to say is I had a very enjoyable time on Zarp during 2015-2016.
To my giveaway winners: You'll get your boosters when you asked for them, so no worries lads.
Later <3
(I'd like to point out, I don't mean hate by making this post, I just want to shed light on why a few of my friends have quit, and why I am quitting. Have a marvelous rest of your day. Peace)
