I've been watching this topic for the past couple of days and after seeing some of the comments by the members and the mods I've decided to speak my bit.
Now I'm going to speak from experience since I have been a mod before. From what I've seen and read it seems this change was done without thought.
The first big problem is, there was no community consultation. Did you ever consult the community saying, "Hey, do you think we should change this?" No, you did it because you, the mods, thought it would make things better. As you can see, it didn't.
Now lets look at what should have happened after seeing some of the feedback. You can clearly see that 95% of the community is extremely upset by the change. As a mod, you should have thought, "Hey this isn't a good idea maybe we should change it back." And it should have been changed. Your community is the biggest part of this game, without them, there is no FeralHeart. If you can't comply with the request of your community then you don't need to be a mod.
I'm not saying that your doing a bad job as a mod, you have done many things to benefit the community and the game but here you have screwed yourself over.
The second big problem, is that the mods are not taking responsibility for their actions. You can say that it was not your fault that the community didn't know about the change, but let me ask you. Who controls the forums? Who controls the news? Who controls what happens with the game? You. You control all of that. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are at fault.
The people of this community are going to fight for what they want, they always do. Some of them will go to the absolute extreme to make a change. Eventually you'll have to comply or risk losing the driving force behind this game.
I know your going to read this and say hey, this guy has no idea what he's talking about, but trust me, I've been under the pressure of having to make big decisions and I've learned a little about people and what they'll do to get what they want.
My advice, start thinking about what the community wants.
Hope to see some changes soon.
