As horrible as this will sound to me, I am beginning to trust those blogs more than the actual guidelines of this game. I have never had a direct issue with a staff member, only friendship, but the fact that there are so many rumors and nothing has been directly clarified, and I have witnessed the rumors while being in events or being present in public rooms with staff and what is said in exchange of conversation.
The fact that I know I am not popular and not well-known in this community yet I still feel this GREAT void and uncertainty in a childhood game hurts a lot and I feel that I can not trust anyone because of all the rumors, gossip and bad treatment between one player to another (regular or staff). I have not felt clarification and I am also afraid to be easily sucked into the issues and many friendly players I know have gone through.
i am worried for the welfare of this community and the liveliness of this game. I love this game and the friends I've made, but these issues have gone to far...
