I'll explain since you don't get it.

The staff develop this game, in their free time, as a hobby. The only responsibility it comes with is the expectation that you can carry a workload, and if not then you will potentially be replaced.

Paying staff would take it from being a hobby to a responsibility. Staff would be expected to complete work, on demand, and be paid for it.

Current staff are completely fine with developing the game as a hobby (obviously, considering we have those who currently do it). The only time that paying staff comes into discussion is when you guys constantly make these crybaby threads about how there's nothing to do and have these expectations that the staff of this game are supposed to please you at your every demand.

The staff of this game don't need to or want to "boycott" anything, otherwise they would not have applied. If the management of this game has an interest in meeting all of your greedy demands concerning this 100% free game, then they should hire paid developers. Considering they are completely out of touch and haven't cared for over a decade, they don't.

So, it's one of two options:

Players need to realize that it's a free game that is currently developed by volunteers and not be such crybabies and beg for things.
Management needs to realize that there is often a lack of developmental updates and hire a development team on the side of the game.

Asking the current staff to stop working makes no sense.
