Dev respect

Most of us have it, the devs work hard to keep this game running and fun for all who play. From my understanding over the years I've played this game and interacted with people, everyone has a different opinion of certain Devs, the most famous in my recollection being Velea. (forgive my misspelling if I did)

Personally, I've never had the experiences others had. I've heard her called many things, but but that always seemed boogus to me. Rude? She was always friendly to me, of course I was polite in my tickets I sent to support as well. I think that goes a long way in terms of communicating with those who, quite honestly, don't have to work on the game.

And that brings me to the recent issues I've noticed. We've two newer Devs, Liseth and Sarilas, who each work a seperate shard for raids. Who hasn't been asking for raids and more dev interaction, right? Lots of fun for the players, and from what I've seen, fun for the devs.

I believe that previously Liseth came from Chaos and split her time between both shards, some Order players disliked her methods for things, and she was driven off Order. End result was Liseth prioritizing Chaos heavily over Order after one final issue, and eventually another dev appeared, Sarilas.

Ever since her arrival, I've heard of some Dev-bashing because she asked Order shard to remember to use brackets for OOC. And more recently, I've heard she was "stealing" Liseths raids? Sarsilas made it pretty clear that they both know of each other managing the shards raids, which, clarifies that neither sarsilas nor Liseth can be stealing ideas from the other.

I also heard Liseth logged in after the accusations were made, to clarify that the raids were shared.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but attacking a new dev as aggressively as I've seen, for something minor like requesting brackets (which she clarified when I asked) or sharing the job of raids.. it all seems wrong to me. And makes me wonder why the Devs should continue working to keep this game running if people will only be rude and aggressive to them.
