You're right , irc is an excellent tool , it's just too bad the majority of the OPs , 1/2 OPs , and helpers (which comprise usually about 1/2 of the population of the channel now) in eqemu irc see it as thier personal little tool to bash then boot people that may actually have something to contribute.
And it's funny how they all seem to think it's funny until one of them does something to totally screw things up , then they De-OP the one that was doing exactly the same stuff as the rest , and blame it ALL on them.
I for one , have not EVER gone into irc chat and asked "why doesn't the pather work?" .
That makes absolutely no sense , since I'm the only person I know of to be even attempting to create an entire moving DB, I must know that pathing IS in fact working.
BUT........
When I go into irc to ask questions about certain aspects of the pathing that don't work , don't work correctly , I get nothing but excuses , or a rash of crap from a bunch of newbies that haven't even contibuted to the project , yet they have OP or 1/2OP status in irc.
SO................
The few simple requests I have made over the last few months have gone unanswered/ignored , or I have been pitched crap when making an appearance in irc to make requests or ask questions.
If thats the way the devs , OPs want to treat contributors , I don't want to be one anymore.
I actually have better things to do with my time , than to try to work without the support of the people that write the program helping fix the little problems that NEED to be fixed to make this work correctly.
Or waste my time making simple requests that will go unanswered for months.
The devs , OPs can make all the excuses they want , but those of us that have been around for a long time , know how things are in irc , and if thats being helpful , I'd suggest figuring things out for yourself , because eqemu irc is just a waste of time.
