First: loving this discussion/exchange of opinions!
The problem with OTs is simple.
We are still making tibia servers, this is a problem, we should stop associating ourselves with tibia and evolve the project into a "RPG Maker".
I agree to some degree.
Personally I would like to see both the OT and this "RPG Maker" community being platformed together, yet to some degree separately as well, somewhere somehow.
Like I think OTS can be highly innovative and still want to associate whether presently or merely historically with Tibia or OT, both to the benefit of current Tibia players that may be seeking something new and innovative, and to this new RPG Maker community benefiting of the player base.
Building bridges.
But I would definitely like to see a part of OTS development become more open, less Tibia-specific, so that it would be easier to innovate.
On a partially related note: I think innovation within the community-platforms could be healing as well, such as more proper ways to incentivize support, advice/answers and general productivity with more than just a Like-button, and an actual system to take care of market trades (scripts, artwork, etc), instead of the scattered and insecure methods that's used now ("skype me so everyone can get my IP and then one of us gives files or pays first and maybe I won't receive what I paid for/made, yay").
But I also realized quickly that there's some serious legal challenges with the idea of trading files for actual money, since some people might start trading highly illegal files on the platform as well, meaning that every file would have to be manually inspected and verified by a paid lawyer or something
It might be possible to make a more indirect system, though.
Not per se, but can make a good discussion if both sides can mannered clash their points of view.
That's my point - I don't think you were very mannered.
It's so easy dude, you're just wrong dude, they're just fed by negativity, it's never a problem, I'm just gonna disagree with literally every word and syllable you write and I've made up my mind that this is a productive conversation because we disagree, I mean disagreeing == productive, each word is defined by the other in the dictionary, clearly, brah
You don't need to agree with peoples opinions, but you do need to agree on the format of communication for it to be productive, otherwise it just devolves into fighting like this (unless you don't think we're fighting and you'd like to keep going, I don't mind
).
