I have been been retired for a good while now but I still play on the server every once in a while but I would like to bring a few things to mind. On the day of my retirement during the command meeting he was asking command what we could do to better the server. I recall almost all of the main discussion points being Roleplay. The current situation of roleplay has been in a horrible spot and it's not seen improvement at all from what I can see. During this said meeting we brought up a lot of points to improve rp on the server and find ways to obtain quality over quantity. Rang was there for the entire meeting with every command discussing this and a lot of them giving really honest and sincere opinions on how rp can be more involved with the server. After I retired I didn't pay a lot of mind to current events of the server but I was still in contact with people in the server and I spoke to them and they mentioned not much of anything has changed rp wise. I played on the server (Primarily on D class) and I also noticed myself the complete Domination of combative branches on the server compared to other branches. Most branch updates I see is always fuel to the ongoing gang war between MTF and CI. I constantly see research and utility get steamrolled by CI by being killed or captured. Rather than nerfing the op shit the server opts to buff the weaker stuff to compensate which is not ideal in a primarily PVP server. All of this happening and rang heard our concerns and nothing has been done to improve it.
Regarding the subjects presented in the post:
I heavily agree with both. The Redacted class i've seen on D class is a complete power stomper with little you can do to fight back. No connection to lore, no motd balance, no connection to server rp, and completely offputs the balence of the CI, MTF, Dclass, and SCP skirmish always going on. It had no point whatsoever to be implemented and no reason to stay. It only exists for those who want to dominate the server with no remorse.
On the matter with luxxy:
I am not as educated with this subject as I am not a staff member and never was one. But from what I can see from my POV there has definitely been some form of favoritism going on. I've seen her been given the Igneous gun which is only available to you guessed it: The manager. I see them in TS always in rang's vc which is just adding on to these suspicions. I'm not sure about the ROA or promotions but I do know shortly after her admin report she was promoted to a higher staff rank which put me off a lot. Why would you promote someone so soon after they had a Accepted admin report? Not to mention her breaking staff handbook while rang is with her only encouraging her more to do it without him (The reason of the admin report in the first place).
This matter NEEDS to be acknowledged as from what I have seen: Rang has not proved to be a manager the server needs. (Sorry rang you're a good guy but this needed to be addressed <3)
