I'm talking about you four, the great and mighty four who are hating without even checking the content! (Seriously, how can you judge an OTS without playing it? xD). Worried about competition? Meanwhile, I listen to my players and simply ignore you, continuing the thread in the best way I can!
I have now read thru the whole thread and I don't see any hate without any common sense. What I see is someone who is tired to respond to feedback in a positive and reflected way.
I understand that to some extend. You are here to bring fun to the community and want to offer the best (in your opinion) experience for players as possible. Anything negative about a project is demotivating and hurts obviously. That is something every creator and developer is facing and will be facing.
You can take feedback serious or not, that is totally up to you, but the way you are responding is not the way so far.
Codina has a quite obvious argument that I personally agree with. Everyone who works with IT, or is aware of recurring phishing attacks would recommend to change your domain name, especially if you just have good intentions.
The feedback about botting is a lot about personal preference. However, I also would never play a server with botting allowed. Why? Because actively playing without bot will never be as worth as botting all day long. That is purely demotivating as a player even if you do not intent to be on top of the highscore. Also from a community perspective, you may feel like it is an active server but no one responds if you are trying to get in touch.
If this is your preference, then ok. But you should also accept if other people in the community do not agree with you.
There is no such thing as "hate" from the community so far. The banter was only a result of improperly responding to feedback and opinions.
In the end, you can do anything you like and enjoy. It is probably the most important thing about creators - ENJOY YOUR THING.
Just please, don't act like this.
Honestly, best of luck to you and your project.
