You are starting this thread on totally false statements on who handles things and who creates/codes/scripts for this game. You are comparing two COMPLETELY different things to one another which inevitably makes no sense.
The main subject of your post is PvP/coded abilities and moves while on the same hand complaining about adding small bits of content here and there.
I can tell you right now, PvP/coded abilities/moves are all Devs work while lets say a small quest are work of the Content team (Scripter, Mapper, Artist).
They work completely different, we have two people who not only have to keep the Server stable with a bad server code, pay attention to the needs of the staff team (We are super needy when it comes to Dev requests), has to assist Content teams by adding their items to the client, has to update our tools (Editors for Scripters/Mapper, Tools for Moderation Staff). fix crucial bugs that are potentially game-breaking (ever heard of 10000 MS, battling the same boss thousand times, having every item 999? we did).
Devs work is crucial for the game and that's why projects such as a Battle Code rework are wanted, are in the works however even with it being on the Top Priority list, some things are more time crucial than others.
5 Years, I'll be frank Shane didn't do a whole lot in 3-4 years, Eaty only recently has gotten the ability to actually do things like a Battle Code rework prior to that he didn't have access to the code (when Shane was still around).
^subject from above
A forfeit button without penalty will never happen, we won't make it even easier for users' to boost, will a forfeit button be something useful? Yes however only under certain restrictions such as like ~ the match is already lasting 10 minutes or something similar.
"Improve the existing stories
- Scripters job
"improve that crappy box system"
- Devs job
"make events to awaake the server like tournaments or things like that where players interact with each other"
- "Mods/CCs job" We already actively hold a monthly tournament for Top25 players, we hold events on Discord every month or so, we hold events on forums every month or so
"find competent mods who know how to handle situations (because muting someone for saying '[heck]' when is already censored"
- There are Chat Rules for a reason, it's not an "incompetent" Mod for enforcing rules you deliberately and knowling broke.
"showing your shiny Greninja with 32x6 ivs isn't doing your job right"-
- Dev having some fun with a Pokemon he never uses, can't use and is just a troll Pokemon, I don't understand you being upset about it
Totally unrelated to anything you just said, "chasing those who try to sell their accounts" - Game Maters job
RMT greatly harms the game and we will sanction every player, from 10 hours to 10000 hours
Shane did PokeOne on his own basically WAY before he left PRO.
Just a little FYI, we don't appreciate spreading false information. We granted your namechange in the first place because nobody in staff speaks turkish, after we found out you named yourself "fuck you pussy" we obiously banned you again. That's not a misunderstanding, that's you delibarelty breaking rules.
Artist are a huge part as well, so are Spawn Editors. Regions are a main project that involves a lot of staff members.
Just a little input from my side.
