I enjoy browsing the forums and lately I've noticed an influx of fairly negative posts. These are usually trolls or people who are extremely opinionated and narrowminded, which is normal on any forum and especially a thing for F2P games.
But i feel like it's been over the top lately for no reason at all.
From my point of view
The game has never been as balanced before - I've never played on a server where classes feel as good and as close to perfect before. I'm not saying that all the archers are perfect when matched against each other. Or that they're in a good stat. All I'm saying is that with all things considered, most classes are in a very good state.
The server and the community is thriving - There's actually action and activity every time i login. And I'm not talking about zerg blobs, those are unavoidable in DAoC and people who have played this game for longer than a month should know this. I'm talking about leveling, raiding, taking keeps etc. The game/server feels alive.
DAoC is actually evolving and seeing new creative solutions - Beyond all the QoL changes like eggs, feathers, barrels, tasks and everything else that Phoenix introduced, we have a team of dedicated people willing to listen and even more important willing to try new things. I think it's awesome that they're constantly looking for ways to innovate in this game and make it more inclusive for all sorts of players. I can agree that sometimes it may not be perfect, but that's the only way to get better, they need to try new things out and improve upon them.
I'm not trying to make the devs better. I'm an adult who knows how it can feel when you provide a service for someone and how it can feel when you get a lot of negative feedback. As long as the dev team is willing to have a discussion with us I'm all good.

But I am enjoying, for sure! Maybe I need to get some perspective from RvR before I'll start complaining, too (read: try my best to provide constructive criticism)
