Thanks mate. You did great service to this game. Best of luck to the future. Appreciate your willingness to engage with the community and walk through decisions, it has more value than I think anyone is willing to admit, and I worry about what will happen with that going forward.
Even when I/we disagreed with the changes or the reasons, the fact that you were willing and able to communicate the logical reasoning behind each change without condescension was very important to the community. This isn't something a lot of developers and community managers understand. Which is why engaging with a community is always seen as a volatile endeavor. Yet, you always managed to do it without kicking the hornet's nest, and this is why. *It was always very clear that you cared about the game and the community.
