Hello. I'm sure you guys are more then happy to see Destiny is having even more drama (Yeah me neither).
Well I recently made some major changes to the full-game leader board. http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/full_game
The reception for this fix was amazing, everyone loved it except this kid http://www.speedrun.com/user/xxshadowxbossxx
Since the change he has been trashing the leader boards saying we ruined them, but his main complaint was that we merged the Crota's End solo runs together instead of separating them by class. http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/full_game#Raids
As you can see under the Crota's End solo tab Shadow is now rank 10 when he use to be rank 1 under the warlock class.
http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/d2x4l Here is the link to where this whole mess started. The main reason for the change to the leader boards was that we had so many categories we had glitched out the full-game leader board (For some reason we had two Misc tabs).
If you actually decide to read all of that you may have noticed all posts that weren't by either me, or him were people saying that the leader boards are much better this way then before.
Just to make him happy we decided to put it to a vote.
http://www.strawpoll.me/11511959/r
As of writing this 100% of the people have voted that they want to keep it, but that,s not enough for him.
Then we told him if he wants to give his ideas to the community then he should join the discord, which is where almost 100% of the discussions for the game happen now, but he refused to join.
At that point I realized there was no way of coming to an agreement with him so I decided to stop the argument there before he decided to bring this issue to the main page forums (I apologize for posting here but I've run out of motivation to even try)
He then decided to post another thread
http://www.speedrun.com/Destiny/thread/b5t58
where he was essentially mocking all of out mods.
Some of the posts got deleted I'm assuming one of the other mods did, or him after realizing how rude his post was.
I again apologize for having to bring this issue to the main page forums but I'm essentially arguing with a brick wall at this point, and I just want this childish arguing to stop.
hoping we can get someone with more authority to help with this since he obviously doesn't care about what the mods of the page have to say.
Okay, so I've had my disagreements with Zecora before, on the first major drama we had.
Anyways, I'm certain this guy is only complaining cause his run got moved to 10th place instead of first place, but the separate categories were made by the old mods, and they didn't make sense because we don't run anything else with class specific rules.
Basically I want this community to be inviting to everyone so I don't want to tell this guy "Deal with it" but what he's suggesting isn't viable unless we go back to the old leaderboards which were ugly and way too much. The issue I'm having is what's a good compromise that'll leave both parties at least slightly happy, the majority of the community wants it kept the same as shown by Zecora's poll. Shadow is just being rude and not stopping when we have clearly stated we're not changing it back, because the new system is better.
If the community and moderators are in agreement, then there's not really issue here other than someone being disgruntled with the majority opinion.
Thanks for the reply it seems to have calmed down. I promise we will try our best to keep this drama away from the main forums. Have a nice day.
