the saddest decision which ruined my childhood game is the lag compensation feature by the SA-MP team, things went downhill from there.
Don't blame the SA-MP team, blame Tenshi for realizing that it made weapons that he liked OP and enabling it for the benefit of himself and other VIPs. Blame all the VIPs who didn't give a shit about balance when that happened and quietly solidified their advantages.
A few of us have been fighting the consequences of lagcomp ever since it was enabled, and not once has any real fix even been tried. "VIPs paid for it", "X weapon, which is now incredibly OP with lagcomp, has been part of the game since the beginning", "lagcomp is an upgrade, why would you downgrade?" and other horseshit coming out of the asshole-like mouths of many of our VIPs certainly didn't help. I don't mean to sound like I've got a martyr complex here, particularly because I wouldn't even fit the type-- that would imply that change has actually happened.
Instead of acknowledging how fucked up the server is, many of you fuckers have thrown any hints of change into the same longdrop into which you shat out what little respect you had for fairness and competition. Like a little cherry on top of pile of shit that you putzes have created and regularly roll around in, it seems the new shit being slung is that those of us who care about fairness and good competitive fun are trying to change the server for our own benefit. Meanwhile, many of the people fighting to keep the status quo are members of our fantastically toxic clans, which are the antithesis of fairness-- need I say more?
I wouldn't be sad about the decline of our player count if the toxic players were leaving, but I think most of us realize that it's the new players who are not staying. At this point, I don't blame them-- what do we have to offer? Empowered swinging dicks who use them as live target practice? Other servers have ripped off the core concepts of our gamemode but left out the toxicity. Would you play at this server if you were new, had no friends in the server, and couldn't buy VIP? I think most would find a fairer place to play.
Wake up. You dipshits are smothering what used to be one of the greatest servers of SA-MP with your own bullshit while you stand atop the steaming pile, huffing the fumes as if they were roses-- if you want this server to last, you're going to have to clean up the pile so new players don't vomit their way to another server.
