Guess I should weigh in on this since I'm the mod who said it initially. I realize you may consider the statement; " We are not obligated to be nice, we are obligated only to enforce the TOU" a bit arrogant but it is a truthful statement. And it was said in response to a heckler. You can't honestly expect us to go day in and day out just taking and taking from trolls and hecklers and other various angry people. Sometimes we give back, people have some sort of twisted idea that when we become moderators that we suddenly have to be perfect and behave like perfect little prince and princesses. They expect that they can say whatever they want and the mod will just take it. This a a clear misconception, we are still players, only with green names and speakers, we have the same feelings and anyone else and are allowed to respond just like anyone else would within reason. Ergo if you heckle me or misbehave chances are I'm not always going to be nice in my response. I've been seen opening trolling my opponents on WC right back. I like to stand my ground and I don't believe it's wrong for any mod to defend themselves. If you feel that makes us "not nice" I suppose that's on you. A lot of people simply won't understand unless you've been in these shoes, and watched half the community hate on you for things that largely aren't our faults. Anyone who really knows me realizes that I'm actually quite nice and personable to those who show me respect. The basic concept in all communication is the giving and receiving of mutual respect, or getting what you give. If you show respect you will get the same in kind; if you act immature or disrespectful however you will likely be trolled or ignored. Just some food for thought. Apologies for the length of my musings.
These bugs, you speak of them but you made no mention of what the bugs are. and you exaggerate that they number in the millions. (2paragraph, 1st sentence) The game is running completely fine on my two android devices. I eb and war and have no issues whatsoever. "We aren't obligated to be nice", was that either slayerbob or acetown? If the mods aren't doing a good job then why isn't anyone else bringing it up? You seem to be the only person having these issues. The community is not doing well, I agree. But it's been like this for a long time. It's the status quo those lbers reside in their lb clans and us fend for ourselves. Being an experienced KaWer you'd realise that. Textures, skins and sound packs? This is not minecraft. Are there even other games in the appstore or play store that do that? If you're bored/unhappy, why keep playing? Recently I seen KaW_Community actually go out of their way to assist someone with their android issues. Infact this is the most active I've ever seen a developer account.
'I mention the number of topics you can go through the forums if you like...' Do you mean that you mentioned the bugs in other threads/forum posts? Because when I go through your post history, you don' t say anything at all. What I find more humorous though is your first ever post (we'll keep that to ourselves though ) I've been a part of several communities. But KaW is the one I participate most in. Battlefield, The Last of Us, Gta. Mobile games... Godville, most gamevil games, pokemon text based rpgs, mafiawars, some old storm8 games, recently a mmorpg trivia game, also fc, gaw, a little pimd :lol: and perfect drift. These website forums don't run text based mmorpgs... lol (which should be the orimsry focus) Besides most of the community play on smart devices unless you're a heavy warrer (nothing against that) You push for cosmetic changes over content updates? Why? This is a game so we should be focusing more on the GAMEPLAY. The cosmetics are fine but I agree it could do with an updating but that's not the point. I noticed your badge, rare to see someone who's played as long as I have. You should board the disillusionment train to content-ville already. (content as in satisfied)
I agree with op. There are many in game bugs, which have been voiced to the developers, but they have done nothing at all to fix them. If they would actually improve the game, instead of adding events (I got hit with an anniversary firework the other day, which was like the only good event ever), they could fix the bugs, and improve the performance and layout of KaW.
Mods aren't owed anything, so why should they receive anything. Mods should want to create a positive community and if they just here for self-gratification they are doing the wrong thing.
You've noted one glitch. Hell, maybe ata removed that regen to make the eb easier for clans struggling (I wouldn't know since I don't do to the chamber) [Apparently there was a regen at ph.2 part 1 before hitting main bar says Wulf's thread] I want to see the other "millions" of glitches you've encountered.
Sasuke- small glitches. For example, on kindle fire " if you post an ad with emojis, when you go to cc your text will be replaced with a single emoji.
The main reason players are turning away from pimd is because devs are actually turning the game into a dating site. Which you forgot to mention... A mod there, wrote a thread explaining the game isn't what it use to be as it's moving more and more towards the rp / fake relationship. Nothing to do with what you said, they players wanted to share ec/nob points and they get half regens because both bars gets used in a action, thus reduce the number of hits by half. Unlike pimd we don't stand for rp or anyone asking for boys/girls to removing them before they bed their roots into the game. No kaw problems are completely different to pimd. We suffer with trolls and flamers and little sightings of devs. Pimd suffer with rp, virtual dating. Where as kaw is still a game in some respect as you need to play it to get anywhere, pimd is just a social fad where you don't need to play the game to achieve anything.
Complain about glitches and upgrades mods devs ???? The game??? DONT PLAY IT IF U CRY U guys serious its a programme microsoft apple and sony ps4 xbox all have issues ! New phones all have issues !

Been silenced alot and friends with most they r great people taking on a crap pay free job ! No chance i could do it so peeps give the whinging and crying a break thx
You make it sound like the dollar you put in goes straight from your account into one of their personal accounts. You make it sound like ATA doesn't have to break even AND make extra. Like no other company requires money. The relationship between mods and non-mods is created by the non-mods. For one, you hate that they silence you. (Even though it's justified.) It's like having a cop friend.
