Why are these assets not packaged in TRS22?

So I have heard. In my very few attempts at using Discord I found it chaotic and confusing. In contrast to these forums which have more structure and some semblance of logic to them.

I belong to a few "servers" on Discord. It's not Discord itself and it's how the servers are managed.

Then there's N3V's chaotic mess. These are the youngsters that we've told to grow up and put their big boy pants on when on the forums here. The server is moderated, but it must be awfully stressful and would be in my opinion, be like herding chickens.

The various conversations are the same repeated over and over because no one reads what someone else has posted. When I attempted to do some support on Discord, I was met with some rude responses telling me I dint know what I was talking about. Another time I made the fatal mistake of posting a response or two to some "older" threads that were a few days old which was met with some more rude responses. Then there were other threads where the original poster ignored what I posted and posted the same question again a bit later!

After that, I gave up. If this is what N3V wants, they can keep it.

Hi All
To confirm, the Trainz Plus Standard or Gold exclusive DLC packs aren't available for purchase, they are exclusive to the memberships only. The Trainz Store requires us to list a price in them, and listing it as 'free' is inaccurate to most people as well (instead the store very clearly states the DLC is exclusive to the relevant subscription). Due to the way that the Content Store tool was originally designed, it does require the DLC pack to also be present in the Trainz Store to display it's name, description, and preview image correctly.

The creators of DLC packs do get paid for the use of their content in subscription versions (the TCCP website does detail the way this is calculated, so creators can be aware of how it works with their content), and hence the set price also ensure that the calculations for paying content creators for the use of their DLC packs through gold subscriptions can be done correctly; as the exclusive content goes through the same system, this ensures that it is done fairly for all creators.

In regards to the discord server; we do have moderators monitoring this. However it is also, simply put, a discussion area. Sometimes discussions become heated; and sometimes discussions continue with 'breaks', since messages can be replied to/quoted at any time. If another user feels they have something to add to a discussion, they will do so; so long as they don't break the rules then the mods generally won't need to step in. Dissenting opinions may result in ongoing discussions, as that's generally how discussions work.

We do understand that a few people may not be a fan of the subscription exclusive DLC packs, but at the end of the day these are developed for these subscriptions (or potentially future builtin use, or may be included in platinum editions later on), and the development is supported by the subscriptions; so the other option would be that we simply don't produce them, and those who have subscribed would instead not be able to access that content.
