It only takes a good mod to handle spams. I've been on the AL discord for a while now and no matter how many messages have popped up, it was never to the point of scam nor does it bother me from playing. Notifications are muted, I never get to know what's happening until I actually check the app. Nothing new, even Line has that option.
>Announcements are copy-pasted forum announcements and if anything they dissuade players from logging in forum or coming to forum
No they don't. AL players don't come to the forum not because they're lured in by some app, they don't come to the forum because it's getting boring here. What's the point of going into forums if all you see are either new buy and sell threads and several scammer reports in the General Discussion section. AL forum is not what it used to be, it's not the AL discord's fault, you can blame the mods/devs (no harsh feelings towards you guys, I know you do your best, but a flop is a flop).
>They promote youtube channels of wannabe-hotyoutuber-butfailing-since -years friends.
You're trying to defend for a more active AL community yet you judge a person's reason to play? If that "delusion" is what drives someone to keep playing the game then what's wrong with that?
>They hold server minigames, which means stealing AL gamers attention and time by luring them to play 3rd party games
Now you're just assuming that the average AL gamer plays AL 24/7 and doesn't do anything unrelated. Maybe you forgot to take into account that for a lot of people, AL is simply a game they could casually play when they're off work/bored of consoles/don't feel like turning their pc on/etc? I highly doubt participating in a text-based minigame is going to compete AL.
>They have voice channels and voice can be used by anyone using discord with their friends there is actually no need to join a discord group and put anybody up on a pedestal as the founder of such and such grand glorious group.
What now we're denying convenience? What if I don't have discord friends and all I do have is an AL discord group? (Because that's literally me right now). Maybe I joined an AL discord group so I could meet new friends that I could voice chat with?
The guy doesn't even want to be put on a pedestal (and I don't even think anyone is putting him there). You're not a hero for founding a "grand glorious group". You're not more relevant than the other forumer because of you have the greater forum bar. You don't become the best guild master by being the founder of the top 1 guild in lb.
People get these misconceptions a lot, whether you look up to someone or not is entirely up to you.
