What's the highest priced gun? 500k? Lol, most veteran Era players even know it's P2W.

Have you ever played era?

Most of the haters are non-era players, they don't know what they're talking about.

I think he just used a hyperbole, don't take it literally.

im willing to bet snk does have a huge amount of control. Stefan just seems like that type of guy that really does not give a rats ass and as long as he is making money, then he will leave you alone.

Also there is a TON of stuff snk could have stopped in era but he didn't. He also just blows off the community and can't tackle large issues. He just avoids them.

As for the first paragraph, I've been on rc on multiple servers where stefan has literally rescripted systems or disabled them because he didn't like what they were doing. Any other active ios developer can attest to this, I'm sure. I've been on iera where he has disabled something that literally disconnected the entire server as a result.

As for the second paragraph, sometimes unpopular decisions have to be made. If this is not something you can deal with in life, you are likely to live a life centered around disappointment and whining, rather than moving on or making the best of situations.

Here is an example of a large company making an unpopular decision because it was necessary:

A long time ago, you were probably just learning to write, a big company called Netflix offered streaming of tv shows, as well as dvds shipped to your door for one low rate. A few years in, competition arose, and they had to offer a different package -- 7.99$ for streaming, unlimited dvd rentals over the period of a month now became an additional cost and the initial package offerings people really liked were no longer offered. People whined, complained, and they either got over it, or took to the internet forums complaining like mad men. Fact of the matter is, Netflix did not change their decision as a result, because, as much as customers did not agree, Netflix's decision was the right one.

Tl; dr : you cant make everyone happy.

So since someone may have quit the game in displeasure, their opinion is invalidated?

theres a very fine line between making unpopular decisions and not dealing with the issue at all.
Take for example the PBP shotgun. I made a poll on erago a while back and over 70% of people wanted stacked damage removed. Also the largest group on erago for the longest time ever was a group that was all about nerfing the pbp and removing the stacked damage. Instead of taking the community's advice even into consideration, nothing was done. Then snk did something, removing the hit timer in bases that made the pbp way more competable with. But it was still OP since at all ranges the gun dominated. Close range with the crazy ROF it has +16 damage, at long range since it was hard as hell to dodge as the 4 bullets with a large spread made it hard. And since the bullets are so close together, the gun was dealing out 8 dmg 90% of the time. Deleting the stack damage would have made this gun a beast at long ranges and engaging multiple people at one at ranges, making it easy to move around them and theres no 16 damage. Instead their dealing the same damage as most other guns. The gun is still a major issue and is breaking gameplay for others outside of bases since the pbp gets such a large advantage of avoiding the timers, thanks to the avoidance of the hit timer. Everyone knew that this was mandatory that the pbp stacked damage was removed to balance out gameplay. Snk never even lifted a finger and ignored this issue. Did nothing to help out the situation and gave us no pk timers in bases that everyone wanted, helped a little bit. After that he just said yeah its good enough and ignored the whole issue that was still there.

Fixed Version- People aren't going to play a game that has such a bad reputation with bad staff, horrible weapon balancing, and minimal fun after hours of playing, deterring players from what iEra is. Fix this and Era would be popular for good reasons.

Most Classic players have played Era and still outwardly call it a P2W game. Lawl.  

How is classic p2w? Everyone has the same weapons for combat and making money in classic is not hard at all.

The only real goal of classic...is kinda become popular.
So...hats help, mounts morphs.
