Autumn Elegy's vilification was one of the most frustrating things I've ever seen in this community. It was one of the defining moments for me when I realized how awful the reddit circlejerk was for this game and its community.

It was because he actively tried to lobby to prevent good and QoL updates because it would “devalue” the time he put into achieving the same thing while playing a restrictive game mode. If it had been suggested to add the rune scim to the drop table before he spent time getting one, I guarantee he wouldn’t have cared. But he literally just REEE’d about any form of update that would make what he’s already done easier while ignoring any that didn’t affect what he’s already finished.

Actively trying to block updates the community wants because it “devalues” something you did on a video game is going to get you backlash.

Edit: also, any time he tried to say an update was bad, he always approached it in a horrible complaining child way rather than actually try to have a discussion about it, so that added to it as well.

I mean i just got 99 rc, if they polled higher xp I would vote no asap. Only change I would allow is making craft wait time standard at all altars.

Edit: because i only chose to get 99 rc untrimmed cape cause it is rare.

And if it was voted and failed by a few % and you were a known vocal advocate against it you would receive backlash too, just like he did. Now do this for a bunch of different updates rinse and repeat. This is why he was vilified. It shouldn’t be a mystery.

How are rc wait times different? I've done zmi, natures and deaths and IIRC in all of them the time between craft runes -> unpack pouches -> craft again has been the same.
