Hi Guys,
I'll get straight to the point by making some comparisons:
The mods!
AR:
They support and source the VIP mods themselves and most importantly they take feedback! If a VIP mod may increase ban chance, AR solicits our feedback and PROMPTLY enact changes.
The Others:
They "acquire" the VIP mods mostly. They do try to make some themselves. When they do make it there is no room for change - take it or leave it attitude. This means the mod can often get you banned as it has not found the balance of making the game easier and actually breaking the game.
The Team
AR:
These guys are truly active and talk to you about their mods in the specified areas. They want to know how they work and how we like them, and encourage us to discuss them because at the end the VIP mods are for the VIP gamers
They mod for us and encourage us to enjoy their work.
The Others:
I don't know who half of them are nor do they come in chat to talk to us really. Other forums are like: "well this is a modding forum so you need to do the 'heavy lifting' yourself and at most the moderators/modders/admin can get you 'started' by showing you a tutorial"... that is literally it. They shun non-modding-literate members and form cliques of those who can mod. This applies even after paying for their VIP
The Site
AR:
Clean, well-kept, organized, simple to navigate, non-intrusive notifications.
The Others:
Often gawdy, tacky, very underground like... why does modding have to look like its always against the law and underground... There are others who are just plain white forums ... old threads cluttter up the forum and make things hard to search for.
