While I do agree with you to a certain extent, the reasons Skill pointed out are based off common sense.
Though it is very easy to get sucked into the negative crowd focussing on all of Graal's obvious flaws and cracks which lie at it's very foundation (believe me, I've been there). I've learned to realize on the other hand how much opportunity and possibility we are offered as learning developers. Focussing on this makes occupying your time on Graal that much more enjoyable and relaxing without being attached to any goal one may have about making the best server Graal has ever seen. Though not impossible, you will face alot of adversity while pursueing it, perhaps even more than you would when developing your own game from scratch.
So, yes, I agree with both of you. Though it's very easy to overlook the fact that this game is made and being maintained by one person(excluding unixmad), without a professional team behind him. And that by itself is very impressive. The only thing I question is Stefan's realization on the responsibility he has in order to maintain the product in a healthy manner. I may not agree with most of Stefan's decisions for Graal. But who am I to judge him? I'm sure he's doing a better job than most of us ever could.
Oh and Skill, we may not like each other but I wish you good luck on your future endeavours. I hope you've had any benefit during your time developing here, I'm sure most of us have or will when look back on it.
