Ironically, he deleted his most blatant post doing this but i can still link a tidbit of it
The problem with covenants is the community.
The senseless need for maximization when you can’t even execute your rotation perfectly…
this is no longer an RPG, and this community doesn’t want it to be.

The community has gotten worse and worse
Yup, sadly.
The community makes this game now.
Some parts of this community are pathetic honestly.
I disagree with the concept of the community holding the game hostage though.
because they are too much of cowards to tell the community to relax and let them make the game.
Now, its all complaining from players who aren’t half as good as they think they are.
There has to be a time the player is willing to admit fault. This is a huge problem with the community and doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon.
Everyone wants everything no matter what level of effort they put in and they throw a million reasons out about why they should have everything.
The social atmosphere of the game has gotten worse and worse over the years, and its devolved to such a degree that people care more about their made up score on a third party website
This is the biggest problem the game has ever faced because its not a problem with the game itself.
Its a problem with the community.
But ya, clearly this is the reason why you don’t listen to the community.
They did everything possible to listen to the community in the last year and people keep finding new things to not like.
In a vaccuum, none of those is a big deal. But that’s basically his entire recent post history - every single one is aiming some sort of ire towards the community he was selected as an “MVP” of. And when you respond to the persistent shots taken towards the community you feel apart of, uh oh! You’re the toxic one!
and almost always it’s because the “community” plays the game differently than how he envisions.
I could seriously spend 5 more minutes and dig up another 10-15 quotes all under the same tone and all always referencing the “community.”
