Although I've been a part of the 303 community since July of 2012, it still frustrates me to no end. One update, and the community loses it.

Let's talk about ranged weapons. Before this update, they were very forgiving; giving you ammunition on crafting it, not shooting unless you clicked on an animal or player, and, allowing you to shoot through walls. Because a lot of you have this preconceived notion of realism, please explain to me how any of this is remotely realistic. There is no combat game that I am aware of that is as forgiving as 303 had been. This is a mere balance, something else that the community seems to obsess about. But now, you are being hypocritical. Conserve your resources. This game is very easy. Now you're whining and moaning because it suddenly became a little bit harder? Give. Me. A. Break.

This is not the first instance. The jump cooldown. Even something such as changing the Empty All backpack hotkey was received with some sort of heat from the community.

Finally, you all wonder why the game is updated once in a blue moon. Well, this is the reason. It is incredibly discouraging when you work hard on an update (and believe me, MemoryAddress was extensive in this update, just look at the changelog) and people start lashing back on something that is intended to balance gameplay. If you worked for hours on something, trying to better the experience of a small community, and all you got was heat for it, would you want to continue?

In the 3+ years since I've been here, the community has effectively driven almost all interest from the devs to continue updating the game.

I hope you are all proud of yourselves.
