It doesn't really matter why I don't work on Era anymore. I didn't quit. I was removed because I did something that doesn't really matter but it's all good.
Alright, so, first off...unless every gun previously made (and those released in the future) is subsequently released in a shop and set at a fixed priced and constantly stocked...you'll never be able to "keep guns the same prices."

Not with 50 guns, not with 1000. What part of player-run economy don't you get?

Secondly, clearly it did matter, because you were removed for it.

And finally, I'd just like to address the Deophite discussion here for a minute. I think a lot of people are forgetting the staff team disaster that occurred once Frankie and Icarus stepped down. The issue was being fixed with Sales and Mange heading the dev and player relations administrations, but then they also ended up leaving for personal reasons.

From what I've seen and the discussions I've had, Deo (and please, he can certainly correct me if I am wrong) didn't really even want to get manager in the first place. He was asked to take it because no one left on the team was trusted or able enough for the position. So he did. And he helped bring some stability back to the server and rebuilt an entire staff team that for the most part has done a great job. So what if Era isn't Deo's greatest passion. He might not live to be immersed in development ideas and the future of Era. Hell, he doesn't even play Era really at all. But ye, that's enabled him to be an unbiased judge of player situations and staff situations. And for a job like manager, I think that unbiased decision making is not just a good thing, but a necessity. He stepped up to the plate when he needed to, and he did a damn good job of bringing some order back into the server. And for that, I salute him.
