I appreciate and respect the moderators, but I can not just look at what's going on with such a great server.

Firstly the main reason why so few people play - it's the absence of all weapons and armor. People want a colorful and interesting battles and skirmishes.
Second is the realization of a completely stupid idea mercs(able to hire NPC mercenaries), they have spoiled the whole game and all the fun of Fallout.
This idea is bad because it is an online game, where must fight
people vs the people!
But NOT the NPC vs people. Besides everything afraid mercs, because no one person has such a quick response and no one a chance to win against such a strong and numerous amounts of NPC.
And not one person is not able to survive even a single missile salvo from bazookas Mercs!That's why now it is impossible to meet anyone in the wasteland as all fear mercs, and encounters with people is a major factor in the love of Fallout.
Everybody can see that the moderators are trying to create a balance of power between players of different types and occupations, but the creation mercs crosses all their works, as it is an
absolute imbalance!
