3) No, when I say new guns I don't mean having more duals or modding current guns, I mean actual new guns with a varying array of stats.

4) Taxes are only taken to bring the economy back into equilibrium if staff feel it isn't doing well. Other wise you would receive nothing or maybe a little bit of interest.

5) I guess I just don't notice these things.

6) I've seen the Era Dev server when I was staff here like a couple weeks ago. There is barely any work being done there at all. Only thing there is a couple systems that Chris Vimes is working on to make optimize Era and make it more secure. Other than that there is hardly any other development going on at all. There is a new map which is almost done, but they aren't even going to use that map from what I was told. Don't get your hopes up for a new era any time soon.

7) Not trying to put Squirt on the spot but hes not the most friendly player relations staff we have.
(Way too many arabic-numeral) lists here)

II. If it's a player run price-market, it'll go up. Always has, always will. If it's using the system you suggested where guns are sold in stores at a fixed price and these guns are also constantly stocked, there would be no need to increase the pay of jobs. They could simply make prices that are more reasonable to the current pay of jobs.

III. That's what I'm saying, I don't think a new gun with a little less freeze is going to make anything more fun in Era. It's just another "oh, this is just like a <sten,m1,insert gun here>. Pointless. Unless we're going to release guns that have more interesting attributes other than freeze, accuracy, fire rate, and reload speed, there's really no reason to keep mass producing ****. Guns with secondary fire, guns that are like support weapons (GC suggest a gun that launches gas canisters that hurt player's vision, and also has a 5[percent] chance to poison them or something), things that go beyond the usual WHATS THE FREEZE ON IT MANG?

IV. So one second they're taxing you, then they're throwing money back in your account because of interest? I think both are bad ideas. Taxing discourages players from keeping money in their bank, and a fixed interest would spawn tons of money into the server. Do you really want someone leaving Era with 500k in the bank, and coming back in six months to have three times that amount (rates wouldn't be THAT high, but the principle remains the same)?

V. ___________

VI. I haven't been there, I wouldn't know. If what you're saying is true, then your complaints have more weight.

VII. "not the most friendly player relations" - the hell does that mean? First off, who's the friendliest? Rank the members of a team from friendliest to unfriendliest. When was he unfriendly to you? When did he not do his job for you? ...yeah, you get the idea. Specifics.

Seriously, have some decent complaint other than "WELL HE'S NOT FRIENDLY TO ME ALL THE TIME". Give examples of times when a staff member isn't doing their job, don't just make these vague blanket statements that mean nothing.
