Hi. My name is Jack and I am a recovering arctic addict. I appreciate this anti-botting policy that is currently in place, because the persecution of suspected bots makes 90% of the playerbase quit (directly and indirectly), so when I am feeling the urge to mud I see this
"6 visible players online now"
And I realize, the game isn't even worth playing. So because of not playing arctic, I am able to do well in school, have a girlfriend, enjoy the outdoors, and hang out with friends and family. When I am mudding, none of the latter is possible. So basically what I am saying is, I owe everything good in my life to the current state of arctic, which is basically unplayable.
Personally, if running arctic was my responsibility, I would do everything in my power to encourage a larger playerbase, which makes the game more fun\competitive\exciting for everybody, however it is not my responsibility so I'll just go on enjoying a life without addiction.
Thanks, and god bless you all and your families!
