There is most certainly a vendetta from a dozen of the early backers. They have often said their goal is to prevent any new player from being "swindled". They do potential new players a great injustice by posting irrelevant information, the state of the game from 2016 as though it is today, and just toxicing up the waters to the point people think that the game is full of a toxic community. I have literally seen "Shroud has the most toxic community in gaming" posted many times from these guys. I don't think hat matches any of our experience unless we're dealing with RAW.By posting information that is years out of date, or totally false, and with no one but me there saying that is incorrect, then people believe them. Ironically, most of their early complaints are now fixed, but these guys melted down on people, raged on people and the developers, and got banned. So they don't even have an idea of what the game is like now.Here's a quote from the recent MMORPG article 's comments, I believe this is a fellow who ran a website explicitly for destroying Shroud, long before I or most of us were here. He appears to think he still has a lot of attacking to do before he's satisfied, which would be the very definition of a vendetta:Broke into two parts because the second part is very important:If you follow me on Reddit , you will find the same small group of people also follow me, and immediately jump in whenever I post news about Shroud. They also stretch the truth or outright lie, whatever it takes to "protect people from being swindled". Vendetta.Take a look at when I posted about the upcoming player dungeons. The top comment on that is one of the crew saying that combat is 1/10, animations 1/10, the game is nothing but RMT, etc. It's the top comment because they posted it in RAW and got in their with their alts and upvoted it. Vendetta.The big difference between the dozen guys on RAW and the thousands of us that play is that RAW shows up. And because of that their vendetta gets a lot more play than it would if more than 3 of us would show up.So, does anyone want to display some Courage and start showing up? It would be appreciated. If reddit is too scary to comment on at least upvote downvote if the information is true or a bunch of lies/outdated. MMORPG and MassivelyOP have Shroud news as well, dominated by the same ten guys. Show up and say "I play the game and I like X about it." And keep it positive, don't let them drag you down to their level.And regarding Steam, yes I need to update too. It only takes a few releases for the information to be out of date.
