The hideously recolored map is still a map. It is functional. Yes, it would be nice to have unique designs and aesthetically pleasing levels and graphics. However the dropship isn't as important as the actual map.

If the entire game is one large lump of faults, wouldn't the best solution be to step back and analyze the situation? Then when you know the best standpoint to start from you can. Any progress is progress regardless of whether it is large or small.
The point is problems should be fixed.

I hate to say it, but they can focus on both. They could take their sweet time, which is entirely possible, and focus on both issues on and off so as to provide a fresh breath of air.

Isn't it best to be organized from the stand point of pleasing the customers?
If a majority of the customers want something done/fixed, it would be a good idea to please them.

Not to be rude, but you can do more than one thing at a time. You don't have to focus on one particular issue. It might help to have a controlled central focus, but if you can more quickly complete the tasks at hand while splitting your attention, why not?

Ok have fun, because large scale changes will never occur on Zone.

Changes can happen in all scales and all sizes. The only thing that stops change is pessimism, that which you and huwa have exhibited.

Ugh, as I said before, the hideous recolored GW map, the 9 year old staff members and the extremely unbalanced weapons. Wouldn't you rather have one of those fixed first before a little graphical issue being addressed?

Fixing what the customers want fixed is usually a good strategy, if you didn't fix it so it couldn't happen. Fixing anything, if it is even broken to begin with, is a better course of action that sitting here saying if you think that large scale or small scale issues should be fixed first.
I would rather see it all fixed.

Stefan will fix it most likely, if anyone does. He is the only one with the rights to fix it.

Staff don't only fix certain issues which get a lot of stick from the players (Customers) they fix problems that they are aware of and feel need fixing.
Time is time.
Crono and Huwa:
You are arguing about what came first, the chicken or the egg. Sure one of them had to come first, but they are both still here so what point is there in arguing about it? As long as the changes happen, which hopefully they will, there isn't any point arguing about what should be fixed first.
