I think it's super cool what you guys are doing and I appreciate all of the work you have done. Words can't express how great you are for taking on the burden of running hl2tp. I think most of it is functional as written save for one thing. Don't take this as a personal attack or anything because it isn't, but how are you going to stop staff burnout with an outlands system that notoriously relies on event team direction and staff oversight? Have you considered how difficult it could be to keep things relatively balanced with weekly item restocks?
I don't need you to lick my ass all I need is for you to not throw a rock and then hide your hand afterwards when you're confronted about it. Change your attitude, quit being condescending.
What is an "outlands system" for you?
Why does it rely notoriously on event team direction, according to you, specially when players are given way more freedom of action than in previous iterations?
Regarding balance, we considered balance issues, yes, but the restocks being weekly allows us to balance things out EVERY WEEK meaning we don't have to wait two months for balance changes, plus it's barely an issue considering having more stock doesn't exactly make you a winner automatically. If anything people will lose focus on scripts considering you don't have to grind for 4 months to get some useful gear.
