It's sad to see someone leave, especially on such trivial reasons but, if you read this Byrd, I'd like you to think about some things.
Firstly, not every war is worth fighting. Yes the HELLO server is being cloned but I still see applications coming in from players for this, the legitimate HELLOclan, and the server is still first on gametracker with, at the time of this post, 44 players in compared to the fake servers 1 player "-[HELLO]- *Lost*[Ldr]" (not the real one) that has been there for 10 hours and is probably the only reason the server is so high as it has at least 1 player in. Also Byrd, alot of suggestions you posted were one of two things, illegal, which could end up causing more harm than good, or expensive. Do you really want to pay £1000's for a gameserver? Especially when the real gameserver is still alot better off than its fake counterpart?
Secondly, in my opinion your doing exactly what Sebasjee, assuming it is him, wants. He is trying to draw away HELLO's members, to follow in their coat tails and break HELLO down. Now, i'm sure a large majority of us realise thats not going to happen, I dont even own BFV and im sticking around here because HELLO is more than just a clan but also a community for everyone and with you leaving Sebasjee is, to an extent, getting exactly what he wants and by reading your posts, that is definately not what you want.
Now byrd, I dont really know you as after all ive only been here a few months, but I dont see you as the type of person to give in. I understand Tedde is not doing anything about it in regard to some of your suggestions, and honestly I agree with this approach. (Sorry for not replying to your PM or posting in that topic, I have no excuse for not replying to the PM but in regard to the topic i felt your PM was more of a one way ticket and decided it would be best if i didnt post in that topic.) There is not much that can be done, and in my view it doesn't look likes its doing much harm anyway. If they want to waste money on cloning a gameserver which they get nothing back from then thats fine by me.
I realise this has really got to you and that you have a very strong opinion towards the protection of HELLO but is leaving the best idea? If it wasnt for you bringing up these topics I dont think much would have been done if im honest about it and stuff has been done, such as a warning on the real server that there is a fake server out there looking to steal potential players and with 44 players there at the moment and that number, as well as the players, changing periodically more and more people are learning that they need to stay away from the fake server making it a complete loss for them, therefore your input has not been wasted and although you wanted more at least something, which appears to have been successfull, was done, right?
Therefore, and although you told people it would be a waste of time asking you not to leave, I'd like you to reconsider. Primarily because you do have a voice here and people do listen, I've even talked to Tedde about stuff you have said so its not like your ignored but also because your a member of this community and losing members is never a good thing, espeicially during a problem such as this.
Anyway Bryd, this is all I have to say and even if it doesn't make you change your mind hopefully it made you think about your decision and the role you served here, even if it wasn't obvious to yourself.
And PartyWitVillans, can you at least be a little respectful towards people and their decisions? People are affected and have different methods of dealing with things and Bryd doesnt see this as a "molehill". No-one should be told they should leave just because they share a different opinion...
