Just a perspective TheBull
"Bootleggers has died!", "What happened to the game?", "Game is turned into shit".
These are a few expressions that are seen on the forum quiet alot. There are hardly 100 people online on a steady base, and just one player made crew left on the statistics page.
People don't believe in the game anymore. They have lost faith in BSF2000, in his activity and promises towards the game and it's players.


The slogan of this round's reset was "Back to basic", if I recall right. And I think, that is absolutely true. Crews as Haters Gonna Hate and The Triad made clear, that bootleggers is a risky game. It's not hard to kill someone, is one conclusion we can pull from their actions.
They overdid it a bit in my opinion, but they deserved the fun gethered out of their game dominating position. Bootleggers has been shot back to the mere start of the round. Here and there is a little cash vault, point stack of high rank left but all with all everybody is poor, crewless and low ranked.

Now people have been depressed in the game for a long period of time, many players have left, which is a point I don't understand. The game has become what everybody asked for.
It's hard again to get a nice rank. People should watch out with what they say because now we all know how easy it is to get killed by an active player. Power is for the grabs and concurrention is everywhere. It hurts me people are too blind to see. But in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

If people liked the game at the very start of the games existence, people should see the game is about the same right now. Just a little less activity, which means more chances and options. Bootleggers hit rock bottom, and I am sure it will shine again in a few months.
Sceptics will complain forever. They complain so much they will never play the game serious. And when the game is back on it's feet they complain because they don't have the resources, because they were too busy complaining to play properly.

These are a few things that crossed my mind. All I can say, is that I'm heading back to playing now.

To all bootleggers, goodluck, and let's make this an exithing new period of upcomming crews, new players, alot of moaning and forum activity. All you have to do, is to see the options that opened up for you, instead of thinking about what the game used to be.
