The server is slowly dying. Are we gonna let it die?
So. I've seen a lot of things that i don't like in the server recently and i feel like its time to make a thread about it because this is the place where i enjoy playing and i don't wanna let it die without doing anything.
2 hours to wait for a map: Seriously? Just because Bagio spammed his new accounts and was always buying the same darmos maps over and over we have to suffer from his actions? 2 hours is too much time to buy a map again after it got bought recently. A lot of players play here, not only Bagio but we got punished for his nolifing, that's ridiculous imo.
Some admins can't redo anymore: Dear -ffs- Administration, we're playing a videogame. If the majority of the players inside a room want to play a map again and there's an adming inside, why can't they get what they want? rules, rules rules. The server just gets more and more boring by trying to be "correct" etc. This just encourages players to stop playing.
Minigames: We got a new arena in the server where the main objective is just to have fun, a great addition that brought some fresh stuff in to the server, that's something that i like to see. But we already got minigames some time ago and some of the gamemodes are still broken and they don't get fixed. Sometimes the cube doesn't loads at all or you just fly throught it when its moving for no apparent reason. When you have the bomb you crash other players but you still have the bomb with you. The falling roof mode is just too slow and i feel like most of the players get bored with it. When you're playing gun game you get a rifle but even if you're shooting other people in the head you barely do any damage, where's the logic in that. It's a rifle it should give a lot of damage not throw air around.
Stuntage: Now all stunts give -50% less money. why? The main room where players make money is getting extremely nerfed what's the point of this? We gotta donate to the server to keep playing in it? I can't even donate anymore because i'm living in Venezuela, for example. What's going to happen to players who make money in stuntage to play clan wars? Now that's going to be a pain in the ass...
PTP: Yes i'm mentioning PTP. look at how much players the room gets now. When in the past it always used to be full in the day. You could even log in to the server very late at night and there would be 50-40 players inside, it was incredible. A lot of bugs got fixed, and im thankful they did, that's how it should be. But the current system that PTP has just doesn't works. It has slowly killed the arena. Now the majority of players already know all the hunter, hydra and rhino locations. When a new map starts all you see is people running away to get hunters to kill the president. In the other hand, when you're playing as a president now you have 3 options: You run to a rhino, you camp around in SF or LS, or you just keep driving at full speed to escape the hunters or the hydra, it is boring as fuck. Hunters and hydras used to be hidden by every mapper in a different location and they were extremely hard to find. They were not mean to be found just in a mountain or in an airport where anyone can stumble upon one. And new players don't even have a chance to survive now. That pushes new players out. Also the fact that every single map now has 3 hunters 1 hydra and 3 rhinos is ridiculous. We don't even have clear maps anymore.
Players: Last but not least. Correct me if im wrong but i've seen a decrease of players in all arenas. I haven't seen so few players playing alpha DM in years, the same happens when i look at the numbers of players in other arenas that i don't play. GTA SA is and old game and people is getting bored of it, I know it isn't easy to bring new content to the server and i'm just another player that doens't helps in this aspect but this is my point of view, i don't wanna see my favourite server slowly die, the server needs innovation and creativity to keep the player base alive and willing. Even more when there's so many new games coming out or getting new updates.
I would appreciate some feedback and opinions in this thread. Everything is accepted. Thanks for reading my long ass boring post.

PLUS I want to say something about what happened to Oldschool in my point of view.
For me since oldschool got split into OS / Classic the maplist of both arenas become shit as fuck, am pretty sure this is one reason why OS players are decreasing everyday. I dont know why but after this update seems like admins dont give a fuck about which map gets accepted or declined.

I do not agree with that, I would hate to see people buying the same hdm maps all over again, imagine there's a map cooldown which lasts f.e 30min long - players buying like 5 hdm maps in a row and once they finished, they can buy them instantly again. This would legit fuck up the whole DM room and I do not support that point.

That is a point which I can totally understand and even support but there used to be admins which abused these commands pretty hard. I mean, a possible solution would be to limit it to specific members which won't abuse this command or add voteredo which would fit aswell. It is really frustating to see the majority of the room asking for redo and you simply can't fullfill it because you don't have the rights to redo. I would love to see a change here aswell.

I don't really think the community shrinked that massively that you can see a difference there, I mean there are people which definitely don't play on ffs anymore or just left the game but we still have around 400-500 players each day which means that the playerbase didn't shrink at all. Some are on vacation aswell, in some countries are holidays which means that a lot of players (including me) don't want to spend the summer all day long in front of the computer or might chill in a different city/country.
Overall, I do disagree and agree with some points and just wanted to state my opinion here. And yet again, yes I am a FFS member but this opinion is based on a DM players opinion not an admin opinion. Feel free to correct me or even criticize my points!

I don't want the cooldown to disappear, that would be a clusterfuck. I just think that 1 hour is way too much. And it got expanded just because of 1 player or atleast thats what i think
Re: The server is slowly dying. Are we gonna let it die?
RUN died a long time ago because of its bugs, shit maps,people find bugs every day and players are tired because of this. Trust me or not jump bug is still working, the parachute is bugged, the swim bug still working and so on. That’s why RUN is not populated as it used to be.
EDIT: Also not to mention those repeated tops : Click
Re: The server is slowly dying. Are we gonna let it die?
As @AlinutZ!
said, run is just dieing from day to day. There is so many bugs, it was much better in 2013-2014 with OLD speed, i don't know who want this speed with bunch of bugs.

I don't think you got my point there, I don't want to get it decreased because how I already said: imagine f.e. theres a CD of 30min on every map and there are people buying f.e. 5 hdm maps in a row, which would take around 20-30mins to play all 5 of them, they could buy these maps instantly again which would be broken and unenjoyable, never mentioned that you wanted the cd to disappear ay

Re: The server is slowly dying. Are we gonna let it die?
I agree with you
Even in sh alwys putting the castle or kamikaze some players hate this map and have fps drop there and about laggers and campers &runners
When we say in global "camper in sh jump&delta" tgey judt ignore us and no one come
And in carball we see many abusers (abusing saves) insult provoking and this are a being hateful from many players and why admins and devoopers or yhe owner dont makr junior of carball or head of carball they care only about dm or sh and dd even sometime we seeore than 40 player in carball but no one care
Sry if i made some mistakes
