We used to have people talking about whether lasers should have knockback or knockforward based on their actual physical effects. People talking about the mechanics of lagshielding and whether the issue is a ping related one that regional servers could solve, or a code related one that even throwing servers at wouldn't fix. People talking about weapon balance from mapping TT values (and how the RoF change without an associated heat change disrupts the original balance), from gameplay perspectives (to mathematically match their damage output to weight, heat and ammo restrictions to avoid weapons from being useless)... how to change stuff to keep the flavour of equipment while not making stuff necessarily useless. People talking about suggestions on new game modes that could lead to more desirable gameplay outcomes. There was the crowd which made noise on stuff they didn't like, but they almost always had a specific solution in mind that they fed back over and over again.
... what happened?


Actually i participated in closed beta under another name ... and now that open beta is here, things changed, but not only because of free users ... also from some founders that think they know everything better than pgi ... people "losing faith" because they want it all NOW. Sad story bro.
