it’s not a fun part of the game, but losing wars is a part of the game nonetheless. people have been talking about “honor” being gone for as long as IC’s been alive. it’s an excuse people fall back on when they are the wrong side of battle.
what’s particularly silly is when people apply it to staff.
there is no “higher standard” for mods to play by, because there is no standard at all. outside of rule violations, we don’t regulate the way people play. if we forced play styles onto people, the game would be insanely boring.
so enjoy the freedom to play however you want, and let mods do the same.
if you don’t like losing wars, get better. talk with your team, get active, practice econ in the training galaxy.
even after all of that, you’re still not guaranteed safety. it’s a war game.
