As a new(ish) player, this whole thing is depressing...

This is going to be a bit of a rant. Sorry in advance.

For a bit of context, I started playing LADS on June 13th, and I got attached to the game real fast. Like, light speed fast. When Valko was announced, I was curious, albeit a bit overwhelmed, because "Holy shit, I gotta play the other guys' content, and there's a 6th one ????" (I was in a harem player mindset before I settled on Caleb and Raf), but I was interested ! It's just a new hot guy in a game of hot guys ! Because I was new, I didn't know about the complaints of the community about earlier issues.

And then Valko got cancelled, like five days after I bought my first Aurum pass. Right when I decided to spend on the game, they put the wolf in the vault. So like a lot of us, I assume, I was mad, because that was content basically wasted just because of a vocal minority. I started a no-play, no-spend boycott, but I was still very much in love with the game despite the company's shit management, so I caved and started playing again (something I feel guilty about everytime I open social media, low-key) but I'm still going strong on the no-spend aspect.

The most depressing part, however, is that because of the (completely valid) scrutiny, the joy of discovering the game and the events is kind of gone. I didn't get to know the standard most of the community is holding Infold to, so having something release and seeing people immediately point out the laziness behind it, the stinginess of the rewards, etc, just makes me pissed and sad. Every announcement, every new banner, every rerun, everything that's not Valko is just making things more and more depressing.

I'm in NO WAY criticizing the community. We have to fight for our wolfie, we have to hold Infold accountable and we have to make our voices loud as customers and players. But it's just reinforcing that I missed out on so many beautiful events before everything went to shit, and I feel like the only reason I'm holding on is because I love my mentally unstable space Colonel cyborg and my serial killer Sea God fishie...

I'll keep fighting until we get Valko back, it's just really, REALLY hard...
