Who's to blame? The creator or the player?

Who’s to blame? The creator or the player?:

Often, the one who inhabits a world doesn’t think it’s their fault the world is on the way to destruction. Some think it’s the creators fault, and others think the one who inhabit it is to blame. Who’s to say that destiny isn’t running its course? The only way to tell is to wait and see.

“It’s all the administrator’s fault for poorly moderating the game.” --- Supporter of the citizens. “It’s all the citizen’s fault for turning the game into what it is now.” --- Supporter of the administrator. I’ve been hearing this a lot lately and I thought I’d take the chance to make a post about it.

First off, Happy Thanksgiving (to all who celebrate it). This is the reason for my late post.

Who is to blame? Or, is there even anyone to blame? Is it our fault, or their fault? Let’s see.

I decided to ask 10 people who’s fault they thought it was. Coincidently 5 of the 10 were on different sides. 5 believed that it was the administrators’ fault and 5 thought it was the citizens’ fault. I know what you’re thinking. What are we blaming people for? Well, we’re blaming people for what the game has turned into, and why it’s embracing the future change it is sure to undergo. It’s safe to say that the Endless-online world is in fact declining. Ask any olbie or casual class member; they’ll all agree. The only person that wouldn’t agree, would be the person that’s financially and socially satisfied. Obviously, that person wouldn’t have experienced a major downfall, like all the people that had Baru when it was 1mill and went down to a mere 300k.

Why the administrators should be blamed (according to a citizen supporter):

- The administrators don’t care about the game, and all they ever do is jail people they have grudges against.
- They never log on and when they do, refer to the above reason. It’s all they ever do.
- They never have events anymore and they allow citizens to create rumors about what’s going to happen. For example: Doctor outfits and nurse outfits are going to be dropped at Christmas. Citizens have started this rumor, and they’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t happen, even though they know it won’t.
- They don’t jail people that actually need to be jailed. Like hackers and scammers.

Why the citizens should be blamed (according to an administrator supporter):

- The citizens only hack, cheat, and scam. Then, they blame the administrators for not jailing them.
- The administrators created the game cheat, hack, and scam-free. It was the citizens that brought this into the Endless-online world.
- The administrators don’t do events anymore because the citizens don’t deserve it! Who rewards someone for cheating, scamming, and hacking?
- It’s impossible for them to decide who hacks and scams unless they encounter that person first-hand.

These are some of the views that were brought up when I spoke to these people. It’s up to you to decide who’s fault it is based on your own ideals. It might not be anyone’s fault at all. It might be destiny that Endless-online is on the road to destruction. Who knows? All we can do is wait and see.

I’ll add a poll asking whether or not you think it’s the citizens’ fault or the administrators’ fault. Be sure to vote. See you next time.
