i will cling on to the sanctity that is pub! A place for people to express there skills and enjoy organized gameplay! not some hldj brothel for baddies to subjugate the current pub regs to ZM antics. At the end of the day though... rico will eventually show up and have the time of his ibis life if this tomfoolery i saw the other day is happening again.
secodly, i dont think pub is dead... tbh, i think people use the "pub is dead" line to bolster themselves. Just because the server isnt packed at wee hours in the late evening and morning, does not mean the server is not home to plenty of regulars. If there is one thing i know for certain, its that forums are dead and people dont join them. They simply play in a server with other people who have made a home there. we should not be accommodating to a group of players who are barley making it past week long bans due to their ban record, we should be accommodating to those who play pub regularly.
If all else fails, scrap pub. In all honesty most of the skilled players moved to CS:GO for the alt pubs and competitive rankings. The resources used to run pub could be used for another game server, ones thats booming and growing or even a more fast paced layed back GG.
at this point, zero should be looking at the livley hood of this community. CSS is dying so naturally, ibis is dying.
