What's wrong with the community?
This is something that's been bugging me for years.
Why is the community like that?
No wonder that servers go from 500>100 players in a day, when a bunch of sweats stay on through the night and raid with anything they get their sweaty hands on, a way 300 people will not join again.
Next up is grubbing and doorcamping or just simply being an asshole. Do you really have to grab double barrel and 3 ladders just to make someone's life worse? You see maybe a neighbor just building bees and farms so you decide to harass him, climb up, destroy it all, wait for him to come up unprepared, boom. From DB to Thompson. It's cool, you've got a thompson, but now you've probably made another person/team ragequit, why not just make the thompson by looting and having some actual fun in the game?
The game is great, it's fun, and can be played for weeks without wiping. You just have to start playing, make nice looking base, not a disgusting tower with peekdowns that are useless cause nobody's gonna raid you online. If you see someone making a ship, why do you have to dive in, wait for him to come back and DB him? Just stop, get some help.
Also i do understand that Rust has mostly become for the generation of TikTok where they see someone snowball from eoka to M2 on oil rig, minute into wipe, so all the kids buy the game, try it out, realise that swimming to oil rig with eoka is boring, so they quit. Or they start chasing you with rock.
Play the game, enjoy the game, stop ruining the game to others, don't be a rat. Go fight like a man... or woman.
And yes, at this point i disabled the notifications. This account was inactive for about a year and it will become inactive yet again. So please, write me im an idiot, press the downvote. I might look at it in a few years and smile, how idiotic Rust community actually is :)
