I said, in a previous post that I may leave if the game continues in this path with monetisation. I have decided, that it's now a certainty. If the game doesn't change next update, I will quit. ![My post about SP](https://imgur.com/a/88GyXg6) In this message, I said I may leave is Soul Pylon wasn't fixed (You can read that message here if you're in the official Discord), that has also affected my decision.

The fact there has been no specific response was the tipping point. There was one message from dmund on the 16th. It told us that they were listening to feedback. Most of the community has gone quiet, I was hoping for something in today's stream. Even a "yes it's going to change", but there was nothing. Ok, yes, ulther said it might change at the start, and they were looking at feedback. This is what dmund said on the 16th. And, just because other's do it, doesn't make it good. A game designer's goal is to make a game fun. But, the best game designers don't use systems from other games, they redesign the systems, or make a new system that's better! Supercell first brought forward the chest system, they did it well, and now they're credited with it. Be the Supercell, make something new, innovate and design something everyone loves. The old system was original, and people liked it. This new system is nor original, and people seem to hate it. But, I'm not going to make this too long. You can see my other post about what I think on the system

If there was anything I did for Traplight, rather than the community, I would have stopped today. But I don't. Anything I do, the wiki, moderation, anything, I do it for the community. And I feel stopping doing any of these would just cause damage to the community, rather than the game. So, on Monday, if something doesn't change, I will be quitting Battle Legion. I know there's FTS2, a new dev for community features, even full launch and pve. Honestly, I can't be bothered to fight anymore. I am prepared to leave Battle Legion and delete the game if nothing changes.

What about all the stuff you do (wiki, TT, this subreddit)

I will try to hand off responsibilities, and will do so causing the least disruption possible. The only exception is moderation on the official server and youtube. I cannot hand over those responsibilities, so they will just stop being done.

Anyway, I'll give more info on this on Monday in the relevant servers.


That's all I've got to say for now. Have a good weekend. If you have any issues or queries, my DMs are always open.


EDIT: If there is anything that's wrong in this post, PLEASE SAY SO! Then I can fix it asap. Thanks.

EDIT2: Apparently there was something at the start of the stream. Watching it now. Very little was actually said on the stream. However, I have edited the above to fit.

Would be extremely sad to see you go, but I do understand your sentiments. Everyone at Traplight appreciates the effort you've put into the game and the community. <3

Are you from Traplight? As I can then grant the Traplight flair and all future replies get pinned.

Yeah, was me, just doxed my other account, but nobody noticed, right? In any case the answer remains the same. We'd love to give you a definitive answer, but unfortunately we don't have one yet. We're still weighting the feedback, data and internal resources needed to make a change. However we do understand why you and many other players feel the way you do about the change. As I iterated earlier in Discord, most likely a reversion to the old code is off the books, however this does not mean we can't return to a similar functionality.

This is a slap in the face. If you are so sad why dont you communicate more and come through on the things you promise? All we ever get from you are non-answers which are zo laughably transparant in their attempt to be as such. I bet part of Traplight will be relieved if the old critical guard is gone and nobody will bother to kick a fuss anymore.

I'm sorry you feel this way. I am genuinely sad to see Greenfoot go. I'm not sure what promises you are alluding to, but we've been quite careful with regards to communication related to the Wagon claiming system. Please check my response to Greenfoot below.
