Hello. My name is Parkour2906, and I would like to talk to all of you about a big concern that's been worrying me recently - the community and they may kill Geometry Dash someday.

Let's begin.

To start, let's explain the history of how the community affected GD first.

In Update 1.8, The community wasn't bad at all due to no super hard extreme demons or skilled players that other users wanted to "support", I guess.

But in Update 1.9, the game started receiving more and more attention with the introduction of popular creators, players, and hard levels such as Supersonic, Nine Circles, etc. This caused players to support players like Cyclic, Riot, and Andromeda. However, when Andromeda and others confessed for hacking, players really started to get on other player's nerves toward the end of Update 1.9, with the introduction of Noclip Hacks and Fps Bypasses.

In Update 2.0, the game started recieving more attention than ever, but a new update = more drama?

Update 2.0 started arousing accusations of hacking, drugs, and jokes about suicide - (explained by Sonar553, as you may have seen) which caused a big problem for the game. Riot himself said he was dissapointed by the community that they only respected him for his skills and did not feel appreciated for anything else. Which is likely why Surv quit - as he claimed that he dropped Yata because he felt like he was being treated as a "tool" to verify this project. This shows that the Community are basically a flock of sheep, only agreeeing on a specific topic because a "famous" player like Viprin agrees on it, for example. (I don't mean every single user reading this thread, I understand some of you actually have a legitamate opinion most of the time instead of acting like mindless zombies.)

In Update 2.1, the problem became worse and worse with more extreme demons relased and hacking scandals. One of the worst controversies that spread throughout the community was Buff This being rated - and some players took this too seriously. RicoLP, the verifier of Blade of Justice and Luqualizer, an extremely skilled 60hz player themselves threatened to quit the game if it was rated - like it even matters. The point is, Buff This is one of the many levels that is hated throughout Geometry Dash and threatening RobTop to quit and disliking it as much as you want - all that work just because you hate a level in a single game - That's the stupidest thing you could do - and that's not scaring anyone except true fans who really may have supported them. By quitting - all they're doing is making a choice that makes some stupid drama and solves nothing. Buff This is rated, period. There's nothing we can do about it, and stupid people made such a big deal out of nothing.

Now let's move on to the Bloodlust Vs PPF Drama - another major controversy that swept the community. We all know these two levels, so I'm not going to waste my time describing them. Basically, after Bloodlust was verified people started comparing it to PPF, and when Bloodlust was placed above PPF in the Official GD Demonlist, EndLevel and others started the stupidest drama ever in Geometry Dash. (literally) the same thing happened with SW and Yata, but this time, the argument got a bit heated up as players resorted to spreading drug rumors, suicidial jokes, and practically harassing someone over the Internet. Here's a recap of the two epic Clash of Clans battles:

Knobbelboy's Fans and an Army of 90,000 Barbarians

VS

EndLevel and the Pro Playerz

Knobbelboy believed Bloodlust was harder than PPF and he said it was not just biased, that was what he personally thought.

But EndLevel and Skullo just had to lash out and say some stupid s**t about how PPF was harder and rants that sound more like a 8 year old complaining.

Even worse, this drama turned basically into a battle of cyber harassment as rumors about EndLevel using drugs to concentrate on GD spread around - (which is obviously not true) But that completely pissed off EndLevel, and he lashed out at Hussey when he claimed Sonic Wave was harder than PPF, and claimed that "Only Pro Player's opinions should count", which is not true at all. Geometry Dash is an online game where ppl can communicate with each other, and EndLevel has no right whatsoever to claim that only their opinions count, because he doesn't even f**king own the game, what right does he have to say that only pro player's opinions count just because they're good at the game?

Anyways, the point is - the Community will someday destroy Geometry Dash if they continue to act like this, causing a big drama out of what's supposed to be a happy occassion.
