Is it griefing to destroy teammate's stakes that are misplaced or that arent useful at all? If they block a path or are just used to troll they should be destroyed obviously. It's not like Fips said he was going to destroy any kind of stakes that were placed.
Nope it is not griefing to destroy idiotically placed stakes. Blocking a path is perfectly valid use of stakes, and yes he did: "Yes, i destroy every stake in sight because they do not fucking belong in this game mode."
He doesn't just "feel", he actually gave good reasons for the stakes to be unfitting in siege (e.g jumping on stakes as shortcut, worse than griefing imo). Instead of seeing everything in the eyes of an admin who takes the official rules for sacred, you could also make some forwardthinking and make a good point for the removal of stakes in siege, which is useful and improves the mod.
Same can be said about siege shields and construction sites (albeit to a lesser extent because of the slots). Also I don't think removing things is useful or improves the mod, a perfect example being ladders. The devs, instead of trying to improve on ladders to fix the problems with them, just said fuck it and removed them completely from any game mode besides strat. Worst decisions they ever made imo.
In the case of stakes there are a few simple things that would improve them massively: Make them a bit weaker, make them damage any idiot that decides to jump on them, make it so that you can't stack em on top of each other and maybe some kind of collision detection, that if the stakes get planted half in a building they get destroyed automatically.
In any case, I'm an admin, not a dev, my job is not improving the mod, it is enforcing the rules and making sure people don't ruin other people's fun.
