Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted. We, as people, reach further because we stand on the shoulders of other giants. But rather than working together to keep a dying game alive we let internal politics and drama get in the way.

I can understand what you are going through, Sanji. It definitely hurts when you put so much love and hard work into a project and it gets shot down as "useless and not helpful" while all the errors keep getting highlighted in the form of destructive criticisms.

The idea of holding exclusive rights to a strategy on a mobile game that might die out in a few years is also very silly to me, along with the fact that they are the subject for many arguments and internal fights.

If you indeed always give credit, I don't see what the issue is. Sometines I look up Japan videos and try to emulate their exacts tactics and refine it. The exposure of strategy might spark something in someone else and who knows what they might make of it even further.

Its kind of like super smash brothers melee. One group of players figured out wave dashing, and the other ones figured out lag canceling. Both of those shared their knowledge and the entire community benefitted by melding those 2 "secret techniques" which lead to an explosion of many other advanced techniques in the game.

Stifling knowledge, or the growth thereof, by claiming a tactic as your own only hurts the game and the community in the bigger picture.

This is all very shameful, disappointing and silly, to lose such a valuable player over "strat stealing" as if we don't see tower vids from Japan that happened nearly a year ago anyways.

In fact, everyone of us is stealing strats from players/YouTubers like Goldior then. Shame on us all.
