Has anyone else noticed more comments like these in the last few years?
I have a community project idea! It's called "Let's make maps!"
I'm waiting for someone to make the entirety of halflife in Doom
Maps with pink textures only? Sounds like a community project idea!
A mod where the monsters have curly mustaches? Someone make that please!
Has anyone made an all-revenants megawad? I don't want to play it I just want to know if it's been done.
I really shouldn't mind that people are addressing the fact that the doom community has some of the most prolific people of any gaming community, but I can't really shake the feeling that people show up in this community with the expectation that they can just demand a mod and someone will make it for them. These types of comments often come from people who have the fewest or lowest quality contributions to offer.
I know I'm one to talk from all the community projects I host, but we are very lucky to have so many 'doers' in this community. I make it my mission to foster creativity and assist people to create the best doom experiences possible. But if these people are respectful and open to suggestion, I'm at odds with the majority of new doomers who insist that we need more poorly-thought, half-assed, silly, memetic doom mod ideas to come to fruition. I don't like to see the time and resources of our best creators in the community wasted on dumb ideas.
