What about users that have far longer and even greater aptitude than I, yet are still not in a position of power, or worse, don't want power prior to this change? Are they just duped too? Oh no, of course not! All of the helpful things you did and contributed to this wiki are not useless. The same applies to all users who are non-staff members who made good contributions to this wiki. None of you guys are duped. None of you guys are useless. None of the good contributions you guys made are thrown down the drain.

We're not saying that all new users are unhelpful. We're not saying that all staff members are always right or perfect either. We, staff members, have made made mistakes as well. We're in no way flawless. But what do we do with those mistakes?

We fix them and make up for them.

I understand the feeling that something bad may come out of this but we are trying our best to make sure this wiki is in a good state. As a lot of users have been saying, this wiki has been suffering from the amount of toxicity within the community for the last few years, which definitely is a sign that it's time we do something about it. If anyone has any feedback to submit or suggestions to give as to how we can make this wiki better, then anyone is free to provide feedback or suggestions. We are welcome and open for them. One theory I have on why the PvZ community is toxic is because of the franchise. At this point we all know that pretty much all three supported PvZ games Though I don't know if I should call Gw2 supported are basically pay to win with serious doubts about a new game; back in December 2016 a triple-A PvZ game was cancelled, Garden Warfare 2 at this point was abandoned by PopCap, and new players in Heroes are gonna struggle because pretty much every card (regardless of whether it deserves it), is becoming either a Rare or Super Rare. I feel like this has p*ssed the community off and therefore want to express their anger in irrational ways. I noticed that the community was calm and friendly before the downfall of Gw2 and Heroes (for Heroes, in terms of reputation, and for Gw2, in terms of content, as that was when we had the ability drought) and then after that, I started seeing all this "Discord makes people toxic" sh*t and many staff members started to leave. I really don't think we can fix this at this point and it's really the devs that will determine the fate of the PvZ community. I might be completely wrong and I might be a bit right but regardless, PvZ, as a franchise, is in serious jeopardy.
