Im not going to disagree with you on this post. But the SR APD was never good. Dont act like it was better when you were there. Even if it was a tiny bit better shit and bad still equals BAD.
"to be a fair and enjoyable place for all that want to play" again as much as im sure you all wanted that it never was so stop acting like it. Its always been dominated by friend groups. For SAPD you are either friends with them or suck a lot of dick to get there. And if you want to say that you want transparency, fairness and accountability. Lets not forget when you were Dep chef you let people who break the APD and server rules several times, get a promotion next week. Because apparently "things can change" and a few wrong we can let slip by. Then you will go and demote and blacklist people who called someone "brain dead" on their live stream. Because " there is a right and wrong time to say things" "It matters who you say it to not what you say". So someone didnt like someone got butthurt. Insta demotion. Meanwhile we have high ranking community members telling people to KYS.
Not gonna go on a huge rant here but all im saying is SAPD is chalked ur not wrong @ ThatNerdyGuy but you have no right to say it was any better when you were on it. Just be real for a second. It was always trash and will probably be bad for the remainder of Olympus.
W take. The only issue is the entirety of APD is based on "interpretations". I really wish it was black and white but even the handbook is so wonky. Some of the civ rules are even messed up were you can abuse it so as long as the admin watching your case sees to it.
Another thing that APD has a problem with is balancing. Since the server started doing meetings with CC SAPD and Medic. Balancing the APD means buff and give gear when they are simply outskilled. Just because you suck and you lack the leadership and skill to win situations doesn't mean a faction should be buffed.
If we had the 20 best players all just spam fed and got the win rate to 80% plus all the SAPD would be crying for some buff to "help them balance" the factions. In reality they should be thinking about how to improve their own skills, and leadership qualities. If you cant improve without changing rules in your favor or giving OP gear you shouldnt be in those SR roles.
If they fed someone did go up to 80% win rate i bet the SAPD would have every cop lethals loaded after second wave, all SAPD have pilots and tier 5, with hawks in the air perma. and if they lost they would still cry that APD isnt broken
