Someone emailed part of this to the wiki email. I really don't want to join a wiki or clan or anything like that. I'm just a really old dude that likes to play Respawnables and read what's going on with your wiki. I like most of your content, and I vote on some of your polls. I thought it was funny to shoot people after they were down until I read that it was rude on your wiki. I think I must've started playing Respawnables shortly after it came out because I checked your historic list of events, and I played in all of them. In the first grenade event, I spent over $1,000,000 on grenades, ran out of money, and just barely finished the tiers before the deadline! FYI, just so you know, I'm not affiliated with DLE in any way, and I don't know anyone who is. Observations:• Your wiki seems to be pretty negative about DLE. (Money grubbers, greedy, scheming to get more money, etc.)• There is an attitude of entitlement about everything should be free, and players who buy weapons and bundles who "pay to win" being "bad."• There is a really bad attitude about OP weapons. • Newbees are not discussed in a positive light. • Lots of gripes and complaints. (Whining actually.)    OK, so I don't want to spend real money on the game either, but one needs to realize that DLE is a company with assets and employees, they make a pretty good product, and they need to be paid. If nobody spent money on the game, none of us would get to play. The reality is that the guys who spend real money buying OP stuff are like the legitimate owners of the game, and we are riding their coattails. Sure, they can blow us away easily, but if we're not having fun trying to nuke them, we can jump out and find a friendlier bunch to play with. I'm glad someone is spending real money with DLE. Newbees get blown away by everybody. Do you notice how many Newbees bail out of a match when you are the only level 50 who steps in? Everything is OP to them, and most level 50s are pretty ruthless to  Newbees. Those of us who have been around a long time should encourage them to play the game by cutting them some slack. I think it's kinda fun dropping my equipment and weapons to rookie levels, playing sloppy, and letting them enjoy killing a level 50 player. Without an influx of new players to spend real money, DLE will eventually pull the plug. I saw something on your wiki from DLE CEO about how many million downloads and only 200,000 active players. I worry if that is enough for the revenue to incentivize DLE to keep dedicating resources and capital to the project.
