View Full Version : So, let's clear the air, a message from your friendly Dark Ascension Shaman

To kill the rumor-mill and confirm some things for you guys, Saturday afternoon Dark Ascension was prohibited from engaging major raid targets for a week. This was put in place by the Project 1999 staff as a result of one of our members being caught using third party programs to 'track'. I am not posting the details of how it was discovered, as I hope the method CONTINUES to be employed to find people using these programs and remove them from our community. The offending player was permanently banned by the p99 staff. Were he simply suspended, he would be removed from the guild upon the suspension being lifted. Neither this server nor Dark Ascension has any place for people using third party programs, who are, to be clear, cheaters.
I would like to say well done to the GM staff on this. I don't say this ironically or facetiously. I mean it. It is nigh impossible to detect people using these programs and whenever it is done I tip my hat in response. The penalty also fits. Anyone using those programs needs to be gone, for good. While many of our members are not thrilled with being punished for the acts of one member, the penalty to us is appropriate as well. It sets a good precedent for the server in that when you do these things, you are not risking just your account, but also the right to play unrestricted on this server of your friend and guildmates.
It is my understanding that as a rule the server staff does not discuss a ban or suspension with anyone but the offending player. Furthermore, our members are discouraged from getting involved or starting any forum thread that will inevitably degrade into a flame war. The current situation, however, warrants a response both on our end and as reminder to the community as a whole the ongoing efforts the GM staff go through to curb this nonsense as much as humanly possible. And, just in case it wasn't completely clear from the previous paragraphs as well, this kind of behavior is not tolerated in Dark Ascension.
Some things to note:
I am not a Dark Ascension officer, though this post was OKed by leadership. I post here with the full expectation that replies will get this post moved to R&F, but I figured it was important enough that folks that opted out should at least have a brief chance to peruse it. You will not get a response to replies on this thread; if you want to discuss things in game with me, feel free to shoot me a tell, though I won't give any more explicit details than I already gave here.
Happy farming.

So DA's public response is that they had no idea this was going on.
That's pretty bold, considering the entire server has known exactly what's been going on for several weeks now.
I guess zerglings believe what they want to believe, provided there's a chance for (undeserved) loot.
Personally, I think the entire guild should be disbanded, and all leadership IP banned. Choosing to believe DA's excuse of ignorance is practically criminal negligence.

Sadly this does not suprise me. Theres some good people in DA but unfortunately about 90% are the same type of person like who just got banned. I dont quite understand why those good people put up with this lack of knowing whats going on in their guild by the officers and im sure theres quite a few who knew what was going on, dont worry, their time will come as well becuase eventually those few good men/women will weed you out and let you be known to the GM's. Try and keep a better watchful eye on your guild next time please and yes I understand it's hard to watch 100+ people who log on only twice a week but thats your problem.

It's actually fairly easy to hide from guildmates that you are using these programs... though things get suspicious fast. But when you get to a target first, all is forgiven. If the guild leaders didn't know, they would have at least suspected.
Either way, others will be using them. Good thing for me is it doesn't affect Emperor Crushbone...

I'm asked to chime in, like I'm going to scold this entire guild and rally behind the player base as they scream "Witch!" and parlay themselves away from this ordeal as though they are not swimming in the same epidemic. You're all guilty as I see it, DA, IB, TMO even lowbies running amok in NK you're all guilty of using these programs. MySEQ isn't that hard to install, it's not even that hard to distribute but y'all act like your clueless, like you have no idea, like this is new, when you all damn well know that the program has been passed around since Tantalar was stacking tonics.
I don't pity DA, I don't even feel a bit of anger towards them but I must laugh at the administrations late action in solving this issue, and they come in with with their zero tolerance mantra, self-satisfied that they stopped one case out of a thousand, and they are opening the flood gates now? After all this time they decide to take action?
Rogean, Nilbog, and Secrets I know you're going to glance over this thread as it makes its way into R&F and before you slap up a few bans and move this to the shitbox I simply have to jeer at you all as you continue to chug around at your own naivety. You put big Abacab permanently in the banbox for training, griefing, and fucking over these same cheaters you just now decided to take action on, in your smugness of the play nice policy you let these people thrive and for that display of biting the hand that feeds you, your project deserves nothing less than a SQL injection as the source is pirated and manipulated and all integrity is raped by the likes of Catte and other hacker trolls.
Admins, you done fucked up and I feel no remorse as this problem surges out of control and population dwindles as you purge, and purge the people that I took stance against months ago.
but let big Abacab set the motion:
Run Rapsody
Run Client
CTRL+1 to set server to localhost
ENJOY!

Girth is correct.
Fuck em' if I'm perma-banned for training DA, they should be perma-banned as a collective whole for the following:
Knowing about, and exploiting dupes
Using mySEQ liberally and distributing the client
2boxxing several characters
Obtaining spawn information via means of DB cracking
Exploiting game mechanics by pulling mobs into certain areas they can't attack PC's
abusing excessive XP quests
That list is huge, but they get to walk away with no action besides a slap on the wrist and a piss poor warning of "Hey don't kill stuff this week, go outside and have a beer! Come back Monday!"
Such integrity by the staff, I love it man!

[04:36] <Abacab> Guilds spout the mantra, "Each member reflects what we are about" then treat them as such,if they wish to use such a blanketing statement that these members are an extension of the guilds core values then treat them with a sweeping resolve
[04:36] <Abacab> Disband that guild, IP ban the players, wipe the character tables
[04:37] <Abacab> Cause god knows if I got caughter arguing over a frenzy camp I'd be permabanned on spot
[04:39] <Abacab> one time I even linked an email that showed SEVERAL forwards from DA leadership involving SEQ, that's enough figurative evidence to understand that this whole guilds uses the program, or at the very least acknowledges it's existence in their framework
[04:40] <Abacab> But the guild is taking a 1 week break of "hey guys just go play around in lguk til Saturday"
[04:40] <Abacab> Well fuck! When I trained them over and over, I never got a "Go play in crushbone til Sunday!"
[04:40] <Abacab> Nah I got ass raped on the spot
[04:40] <nilbog> of all the times i tried, and did help you, you're being fucking unreasonable.
I'm totally unreasonable because I want the leadership to be accountable. Because when a huge corporation fucks up with tax evasion only Ted from accounting goes to prison and the CEO, CFO, President and board go to Tahiti for the week while the issue gets sorted out.
The leaders need to be held accountable, because they were dictating and organizing the whole situation even if was just some bum fuck noob using the program, they permitted it, they didn't expel him from the guild, they only PR'd the situation after they were caught. In my opinion they are liable for this members actions for allowing this behavior to occur up until this point, and any arguments against this poor leadership and blatant negligence is mere propaganda to save face.

You're ignorant if you don't understand the gravity of the situation, where administration only removes the pawns and doesn't punish those in charge. It's nothing to do with this one isolated incident because this behavior of lenient, liberal rulings on Dark Ascension's actions as a whole has been repeated since the guild emerged from Fish Bait.
If you think for a moment that because I train raid guilds as a recourse for the douchebaggery that happens outside the microcosmic view of your own little world which hasn't experienced any of these situations first hand, is on par with blatant down the chain-of-command cheating and negligence then you're much more ignorant than I thought and you have no idea about the state of affairs and how this reflects poorly on everybody.

Woah! That's some pretty steep punishment! You miss out on some dragon kill but you still get to farm the planes for gear. I'm sure the staff showed equal leniency when I trained you guys and they told me I couldn't hit lavaduct crawlers for one whole week but kobolds were okay... Oh wait no, I was permabanned for my behavior and my guild members suspended for aggroing Nagafen.

The offending player was permanently banned by the p99 staff. Were he simply suspended, he would be removed from the guild upon the suspension being lifted. Neither this server nor Dark Ascension has any place for people using third party programs, who are, to be clear, cheaters.
Then explain to us why you only remove these "cheaters" after they get the banhammer? Why was DA okay with Raren and Jaytee duping you guys manastones and CT loot out the ass, but when Rogean found out you were quick to deguild them and call them xanax popping idiots that really weren't affiliated with the guild? Did you or did you not give them the loot to dupe?
Why is this situation any different? It's quite simple this response Jayko is simple damage control as opposed to a sincere apology letter, and it's deplorable that your guild has had their hand in the cookie jar for such a long time while you've been blaming and suspending innocent people.

11-28-2010, 08:57 AM
What about the goings-on that happened a couple months ago where those people were banned and no guilds were punished at all? Honestly, I just don't get it. This is not the first time it's happened within DA but it is the first time we see the entire guild get punished for it. I understand you want to separate the cheats from the legit players wearing the same tag, but ultimately if this sort of thing occurs multiple times within the same tag then you have to start considering that it might be somewhat of a pattern. There are really cool players in DA. In fact I knew some of the original members, but when the wheel that's turning for recruitment is so damn fast because of burnout you just never know who the hell you're recruiting. Having 1 bad apple in a high position can set a tone for the entire guild and I think we can all agree -- even some DA members -- that DA has had some bad apples for a while now.
I've stated this a million times over: just get rid of the god damn variance. It serves absolutely NO practical purpose. Poopsock is over and variance didn't even work back then. It will have to get dumped eventually, so just get rid of it now. We'll all know when the damn thing spawns and there will be far less incentive to use cheats like this. Furthermore, as abacab has stated a million times over, it's damn near impossible to truly detect it with 100% certainty unless there's a p99 downloaded program that's coded by the staff and downloaded to our PCs. Frankly, I would love to see it but the GMs have reiterated that they simply won't do that. Solution? Get rid of the stupid variance.

btw, the incident before we had guilds actually parked at spawns *before* they would spawn and in the *particular order* they would spawn. Clearly the officers/raid leaders *must* have known. I can't speak for the recent accusations, though.

Ain't hating on Jaytee cause we bros but...
When Jaytee was banned for duping, he was still in DA on his rogue, so it's not as if DA actively removes those found guilty.

DA wasn't banned because they contribute to the continued existence of P1999 through monetary donations. You cannot ban an entire guild and cut off a cash flow that has been coming in steady for several months.
It always comes back to whose pockets are being filled with cash.
So everyone that is wondering why....here is your reason.

Step 1: Use Seq to dominate gods/dragons
Step 2: Sell all loot (seriously check out bobs auctions)
Step 3: Sell Platinum for RL money (Wild shot in the dark theory)
Step 4: Donate a percentage to the server to prevent being banned
Step 5: Profit

also the people who get banned are the ones complaining most of the time; mainly because they broke rules in some way and want to do anything to break the rules again. let me tell you that this doesn't work here, never has never will

This is the second time I've heard a dev say something like this. There may be more that I have missed, but it is the second one I have seen myself.
I've never broken a single rule on the server, never two boxed, never run third party software like SEQ, etc...
I've tried to spread p1999 by word of mouth to former guildmates, rl friends, coworkers, etc...
I certainly feel like I am "owed" anything by the Dev Team. If they wanted to they could pull the plug tonight, shut down the server forever, and I would not be able to say anything, in honesty, except that they gave me a great game to play for over a year, that I loved playing, could play no where else, and they did it all for free.
I get that the Dev motivations have nothing to do with making me happy. They do this for their own reasons, and those reasons may have nothing to do with me, the players, the guilds, or anything else except their own personal desires.
I find it hard, however, to believe that you really think the players here are just "a little bunch of ants". As a player who considers himself loyal to your team and loyal to your project, I find it disappointing if the Dev team really doesn't care at all about the gaming public here---then again, I've already said that it would surprise me if that were really the case. I just don't get why the need to post it.
I'm not saying the players should be your motivation to do anything or that your own reasons shouldn't be paramount to put this much time and other personal resources into the project, but don't the player's matter at all to you? I hope you aren't totally honest when you say that they don't.

I sent a tell once to DA if they could help me Kill sir Lucan because he was up.
They were almost finished raiding and were glad to offer the help.
I had Sir lucan single pulled, and had him running around while I waited for DA's arrival.
Then came the guild Sapentia (and without waiting for lucan to go back to the militia house like he should of)
They just took the aggro (and they didn't even say anything to me, even though they saw me and three others trying to keep lucan busy until DA arrived),
and then DA arrived just after they killed him.
It has been 3 months, and I have never again had the chance to get my soulfire.
Just wanted to thank DA again for trying, and here I shake my fist in anger, as I lost one of my only chances to have a cool fiery sword.

I don't see abacab as trying to get unbanned, I just see him pointing out some hypocrasy and inconsistent punishments. Anyone who has been in a guild, or in the leadership circles of a guild know what is going on. Too much is always said by people in the know. There is no doubt in my mind that the DA leaders knew what was going on; waaay too much evidence to support it.

You can't. People also use druids/rangers/bards and thus makes any accusation worthless, even if they are using SEQ. They can always claim that they hit track and saw it.
I've seen members of various guilds tracking draco/maestro that same way (dragons as well, actually). Seeing a paladin at hate zone in or a necro FD at fear portal is obvious, it's the others that don't get caught that will then cause problems. With variance it just gives people more incentive to do much the same. Without it you'd see far less SEQing going on for raid targets.
People used SEQ back on live as well, but when targets are spread out over a 48 hour period then it gives the ones who use it here a massive advantage over the rest. Only real way to truly catch it is thru a third party program that checks in the background for it and it'd have to be coded by the devs. The last thing they need to be doing is tinkering up a baby monitor. That's why i've championed getting rid of the damn variance; it means that there's 1 less toy that the children can hurt each other with.

Yeah then you have 4 guilds sitting ontop of a spawn point waiting for it to spawn in the next 30 seconds. Then the guilds that didnt get the kill shot petition sayin they engaged it first and it would happen on every raid encouter.

I used SEQ on live when I played on Sullon Zek. I used it for finding players though, cause tracking was worthless back then for finding players... never worked good at all.

You learn to play with each other. Guilds talked, you remember that? That's how it went down on live. and anyone that's claiming that it would be a massive problem is someone who never raided back then nor knows what EQ raiding was/is. Let the children learn to play with each other, it becomes a requirement in kunark.
This isnt live. This is a Emulator server with a bunch of "i wanna get all the lewts first". So dont start that shit i remember when i was in DA we tryed to work things out with IB sorry didnt work, You know what they said it ruins the compeitive play in the game which is somewhat true. But throwing 40 ppl at a mob to kill it in 30 seconds doesnt take much skill at all.

Guilds like that were ostracized and everyone avoided them. They were bullied out from spawns and then quickly fell, reformed and fell.
These stories have been written and they always end the same way.

Finally some good drama. Anyways Koota was the one that got banned because he was tracking draco in fear with his SK. Draco poped he sent out a twit and when everyone loged in and got to fear they relized that Draco was actually never up because a GM tricked his dumbass and the only way Koota could of seen that Draco spawn was because it was a GM that made himself Draco to catch his ass. So he then decides to petition and ask what happend to Draco and the GM just banned his ass because the GM relized he was using showeq.
Wrong
I find it hard, however, to believe that you really think the players here are just "a little bunch of ants". As a player who considers himself loyal to your team and loyal to your project, I find it disappointing if the Dev team really doesn't care at all about the gaming public here---then again, I've already said that it would surprise me if that were really the case. I just don't get why the need to post it.
I'm not saying the players should be your motivation to do anything or that your own reasons shouldn't be paramount to put this much time and other personal resources into the project, but don't the player's matter at all to you? I hope you aren't totally honest when you say that they don't.
Dev's, the coders, have a hardon for coding...the guides, the GM's, have a hardon for the petition que (meaning the players of the server). Although, alot of petitions are some of the most fucking idiotic things ive ever read and i just instantly delete it :/

You can't. People also use druids/rangers/bards and thus makes any accusation worthless, even if they are using SEQ. They can always claim that they hit track and saw it.
Think bigger. Devs have access to the entire EQ Emu code. It would be reasonably trivial for them to spawn a dupe mob named Dracoliche with a notrack = 1 flag, and re-code the tracking interface to not display those mobs.
But because the location/movement of the GM-instanced mob is still getting sent to the client, it would show up on SEQ, create a response from the druid/ranger/bard, and then you can nail them for SEQ use as well.
Bag enough people and the end result should be that anyone using SEQ should be scared as shit that they call a raid force in if they see or react to a raid target popping up on SEQ, because they never know if it's a GM luring them in or not.
Fixed BTW.
thanks btw, I had just woken up. I actually meant "you are entire argument..." though, so umm, yea.

if a tracking class is in the zone Seqing a mob spawn, when they see it on seq I would think they check track just...why not, so when it showed on seq for them but not in game track they might think somethings a little fishy.
on the other note, if we remove the variance and have 3 guilds on lets say naggys spawn point ready to go and he pops, they all engage because theyve been sitting there waiting. If the guild that gets the ks isnt the guild that got first agro, theres going to be punishment, I dont think it would take long before guilds started being a little more reasonable. Of course this isnt the type of behavior we saw in the past...

This is the second time I've heard a dev say something like this. There may be more that I have missed, but it is the second one I have seen myself....
I certainly (do not) feel like I am "owed" anything by the Dev Team. If they wanted to they could pull the plug tonight, shut down the server forever, and I would not be able to say anything, in honesty, except that they gave me a great game to play for over a year, that I loved playing, could play no where else, and they did it all for free.
I get that the Dev motivations have nothing to do with making me happy. They do this for their own reasons, and those reasons may have nothing to do with me, the players, the guilds, or anything else except their own personal desires.
I find it hard, however, to believe that you really think the players here are just "a little bunch of ants". As a player who considers himself loyal to your team and loyal to your project, I find it disappointing if the Dev team really doesn't care at all about the gaming public here---then again, I've already said that it would surprise me if that were really the case.

I couldn't have said it better, myself. Back when I seriously played, the reason I fought so hard against DA and all the bullshit they pulled was because I thought there were enough players that wanted to see a clean game this time around that they could be forced out.
Sadly, P99 has turned into exactly what live was. Whoever cheated better won...and the saddest part of it is that most of the members in the responsible guild(s) don't have a clue.
I still think shit can change come Kunark...but the devs need to step on the pissants that ARE ruining their game. The sandbox is only fun if people keep playing in it.

And IB coming on here talkin shit you know you mother fuckers cheat too so dont come up here and act innocent this whole server cheats.
Just so you know, they tried to catch IB the same way, but our trackers aren't using SEQ and there was never an issue. We know because draco's pet was up but draco never was, then it was despawned when inquired about.
Also, if you're going to claim cheating, have some proof. I have yet to see anything proving IB cheats or even trains. Who was the guild that got warned for training last week? DA. Who trained us at Vox days after the warning? DA. Who used to crash zones this summer? DA. Who used to dupe god/dragon loot? DA. Who used to know spawn times before mobs would actually spawn? DA. Who KS'd inny from trans and charm stole island 1 sky mobs from guilds that were killing them to use an exploit vs spiroc Lord? DA. Who broke the old rules and zerg stole a CT that wasn't theres while they simultaneously trained the raid who actually had claim? DA
Abacab is exactly right, how many strikes can a guild accumulate before the GMs realize that nothing will change when the guild leader says stuff like 'if we get banned, we get banned.' It's pretty frustrating when you have to compete against that kind of mentality.

Well, think about it this way. EQlive got completely fucked by listening to its playerbase. We don't want this looking or feeling like wow, so opinions on how we should run shit are dismissed.
At the end of the day, Do we ban people? Do we make new content? Are you allowed to play it? Are there guides/GMs resolving issues? Do we fix our mistakes? Are bugs fixed? The server being up every day should be a testament of how we feel about the players.
DA wasn't banned because they contribute to the continued existence of P1999 through monetary donations. You cannot ban an entire guild and cut off a cash flow that has been coming in steady for several months.
It always comes back to whose pockets are being filled with cash.
So everyone that is wondering why....here is your reason.
Still on with this? If you want conspiracy theories, I can do the same. Aren't you the one who wanted to 'throw money' at a new server, so you guys could have a rotation game? Once again, no thanks. It's getting old.
Sadly, P99 has turned into exactly what live was. Whoever cheated better won.
Let's see if I got this right.
-Exactly like live hm. Like how they never banned anyone for trying to cheat, only exploit.
-Dark Ascension, if that's who you're referring to, won somehow.
I still think shit can change come Kunark...but the devs need to step on the pissants that ARE ruining their game. The sandbox is only fun if people keep playing in it.-We banned someone, and because of this, the game is doomed.
-It wasn't enough for you.
-Players will leave this sandbox because someone got banned, and everyone now knows about it.

You're ignorant if you don't understand the gravity of the situation, where administration only removes the pawns and doesn't punish those in charge. It's nothing to do with this one isolated incident because this behavior of lenient, liberal rulings on Dark Ascension's actions as a whole has been repeated since the guild emerged from Fish Bait.
If you think for a moment that because I train raid guilds as a recourse for the douchebaggery that happens outside the microcosmic view of your own little world which hasn't experienced any of these situations first hand, is on par with blatant down the chain-of-command cheating and negligence then you're much more ignorant than I thought and you have no idea about the state of affairs and how this reflects poorly on everybody.
It's none of your concern. You've been shit canned. 86'd. Shown the door. Told to get the fuck out. Why don't you show some grace and take a fucking hint?

Inny was a bizarre technicality of da aggroin first and getting dted, then trans aggroin with a puller right b4 we engaged.
I don't like to get involved in the inter-guild drama but this is simply not true. Rogean said that DA was first to engage but after the first player engaged he got DT'd, which made Inny disengage, going for the next player who had aggroed it, who was from another guild. It's a bizarre situation sure, but it was legitimate and could be thoroughly proven, and by no means a mere "technicality". Secondly, DA had no legitimate claim over that boss spawn because it was effectively proven that one of their members had cheated to figure out when it was going to spawn (this was right before several players were banned for being able to predict when bosses would spawn, so I can only assume that DA had mobilized all the way up there at the exact time Inny was spawning only because they had cheated. At least, this is what everyone at the time surmised and I don't think anyone is realistically denying it now). It was also acknowledged that it was just generally douchey for you guys to leapfrog the other guild (trans?), but I suppose that's neither here nor there if it's within the rules.

The ban itself does nothing, a guild this size can afford to privately sponsor cheaters with a backup plan in the rare case that the person is caught(characters and accounts given to the guild by members who quit, I know I have access to at least 10 level 50 chars)
I'd wager the offender was back in DA within an hour under a different name with more knowledge of how to avoid getting caught =P
The week raiding ban is the $$$ though, this is an actual punishment to all involved or those who turned a blind eye etc. Should make it the norm, 2 weeks with /guild disband for 3rd offense, no warnings or excuses to really drive the point home.

That is why I am wondering - and if you remember correctly, I left DA for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the guild leaders willingness to harbor known cheaters (I can list some if you really want).

So DA's public response is that they had no idea this was going on.
That's pretty bold, considering the entire server has known exactly what's been going on for several weeks now.
I guess zerglings believe what they want to believe, provided there's a chance for (undeserved) loot.
Personally, I think the entire guild should be disbanded, and all leadership IP banned. Choosing to believe DA's excuse of ignorance is practically criminal negligence.

Well that's fine if you want to fess up to tracking for 40 hours a week. I'd guess those pixels are pretty important to you guys. Also Loke I'm not in DA, but thanks for the sentiment.
My bad, I just remember you were back in the day (you're the druid right? or am I confusing names.. just assumed you still were). Honestly, I kind of struggled choosing who to put on there and just went with the first DA names that I came across (save a couple that I had off the top of my head).

Yes I was in DA. I'm not saying they have never done anything wrong, they most obviously have or this rant thread wouldn't exist. I guess all I'm trying to say is that it goes both ways, I've seen it time and time again. Sorry I don't have hard evidence or if I was just misinterpreting people using Macroquest or ShowEQ or whatever it is. The Dual boxing part doesn't need much interpretation when you see a video of someone doing it though.

They have had no such trouble calling you trainers, and I have spoken with multiple Divinity who came up with the same culprit who brings those lovely mobs to us. That would be Gwence.

nilbog manages the money btw. he does a good job of making sure it all goes back to the server's costs.

-Exactly like live hm. Like how they never banned anyone for trying to cheat, only exploit.
-Dark Ascension, if that's who you're referring to, won somehow.
Dude, we banned cheaters.
What some of you guys fail to realize is that catching people who use SEQ takes time and resources. While it might be obvious to you, the player, it still requires a person on the staff to observe the same behavior. These guys are just volunteers and they want to play too, you know.
You should also understand that Live GM's weren't hired for their sherlock holmesness. They weren't hired to catch cheaters, they were hired to manage volumes of player complaints. The rank and file GM's were not supposed to become too involved with investigating cheaters because it took too much time away from handling regular complaints.
With P99 it's probably easier to convict, in that sense that they don't really need to come up with a convincing case to some middle-manager that someone is cheating.

So DA's public response is that they had no idea this was going on.
That's pretty bold, considering the entire server has known exactly what's been going on for several weeks now.
I guess zerglings believe what they want to believe, provided there's a chance for (undeserved) loot.
Personally, I think the entire guild should be disbanded, and all leadership IP banned. Choosing to believe DA's excuse of ignorance is practically criminal negligence.

If you know of people breaking the rules, dont be an idiot about it. We cant do anything about duel-boxers or people using cheats unless you, the players, report it.
Stop cutting yourself off at the knee's and think you are some big hotshot...you are literally accomplishing nothing by not reporting these behaviors. This goes to everyone, as well..We have a system, and when people try to act outside the system and keep these things to themselves, it makes it 10x harder for us to act..
The people who take the time to spectate these players acting suspiciously, and report them (without trying to blackmail another group of people), have my personal thanks. But until one of us takes the time to watch for ourselves and to run our own series of tests, then nothing is going to happen. We cant run these tests without names....and names are exactly what you have been withholding for god knows how long, and if you ever expect someone with actual authority to do something, then i highly suggest you go and let the staff know who these people are.

He was with Europa for as long as I was with them. (Well, I still am. He moved on to our old sister raiding guild Remedy, who then merged into Darkwind.)

also, might I mention that we care about the NPCs more than we care about players. you are nothing but a little bunch of ants to us. you play in our playground and if you break our rules, you get the hurt put down on you.
i suggest you all follow the rules and accept decisions or gtfo.
It's actually one of the worst, it's the same argument 16 year old scene girls make when they get criticized over something mundane. It's like saying "Haters make me famous!" or some other passive-aggressive angsty bullshit.
I don't really find absolutist statements appealing, the whole "my way or the highway" approach has always been a good way to get your teeth knocked out IRL, I don't see why it would be any more acceptable in this spectrum, considering the population is what makes this server.
They call us "ants" but we are giants albeit sleeping ones. With enough harassment, enough personal attacks etc. a group of several trolls can totally ruin this project permanently. Just thought I'd put some truth into perspective.

This is exactly why the raiding scene here is nothing but one big farm. Guilds don't raid because they enjoy the challenge, they raid for easy loot.
This. Why the f... are people playing like this on here when they can just join the Void server and #finditem, #summonitem stuff? Do they actually feel some kind of accomplishment right now? If so, I genuinely pity them. :confused:

It appears based on your first post on the forums that you never understood why people played the game this way.
I never was a hardcore raider - maybe because I am from Europe, but was a member of an US based guild since the first day which meant raids usually at night for me -, nor did I ever play excessivley.

I suppose so. You "enjoy" wasting hours over hours of your life to increase a few stats on your character without any real effort besides the time invested to track/run/kill?
Or did you see "Guilds don't raid because they enjoy the challenge, they raid for easy loot."?
Because if that is what it's all about... I can't see the fun in that - throwing your time at this for nothing, basicly.

I sent a tell once to DA if they could help me Kill sir Lucan because he was up.
They were almost finished raiding and were glad to offer the help.
I had Sir lucan single pulled, and had him running around while I waited for DA's arrival.
Then came the guild Sapentia (and without waiting for lucan to go back to the militia house like he should of)
They just took the aggro (and they didn't even say anything to me, even though they saw me and three others trying to keep lucan busy until DA arrived),
and then DA arrived just after they killed him.
It has been 3 months, and I have never again had the chance to get my soulfire.
Just wanted to thank DA again for trying, and here I shake my fist in anger, as I lost one of my only chances to have a cool fiery sword.
I wish I had known that before I joined them. Most are good folk, but you can be happy knowing the guildleadership took a dump on the rest of the guild. I joined them and a few weeks later they announce that they will no longer be trying to do any raid progression. Soon after all the officers left and the leader hasn't been seen in weeks. I was pretty suprised to read this giving that the Sap members I knew are all stand up guys pretty much and seem like good people. Although I did get treated pretty poorly when I commented that I did not see how stopping raid prgression and trying to get new recruits was counterproductive. One of the officers just got mad at my comments so I guess there were a few bad apples. I would say try not to hold it against them as most Sap members were pretty cool. Either way, the guild has pretty much died. All the officers left and just left all the regular members hanging out in the wind.

Oh don't get me wrong, Sapentia has some really chill people - this is something happened way long ago, and in no way do I hold a grudge.
Now earlier in this thread I mentioned how DA tried to help me out on my soulfire many months ago.
Well yesterday,
They zerg rushed the shit outta sir Lucan within a moments notice.
A personal thanks to: Zereh, Tummy, and that drunken monk who I wish I could remember his name (isidro maybe?)
Thanks guys!! I've been after this for a lonnng time.

old news, buddy...i never hid the fact that i used seq from the guild or from the GM's. hell, i even went to uthgaard and flat out told him months ago because it felt wrong for me to contiune using it.
no one's perfect here, and believe me i never claimed i was...people always find a way to justify breaking the rules, whether that is training the cheaters in ec tunnels or because "the varience isnt classic so we'll just use programs to track for us"...unfortunately i fell prey to the lure of seq due to the amout of usage from the former guild of mine, used for a small period of time, and decided it wasnt for me and left both seq and the guild behind.
ive done nothing that both management and ib dont know about already...i dont try to hide who i am or what ive done unlike 90% of the other people here :p

thats for all ya'll :o
I found it ironic how the IB/Trans thing ended, and then Virt ended up joining. I love you Virt in a non-gay way, but all of that was nothing but filled with hypocrisy. So Xzerion's entire stance of no cheaters in IB, flies out the window. I've come to the conclusion every guild has their " inside infoz".
It ranks up there when we were in Sky, and DA stole a Island 1 mob from us and Lostprofits says in team-speak "I need to fraps this so we can get them in trouble, but I have to restart when I close out seq". Was nothing but a bang my head against the wall moment for me, and it finally clicked that more than just Virt was using SEQ in the guild.
I've never had to use SEQ, and never want to be apart of a guild that does. It just takes something out of the game for me. I sure in the hell had my exploits back in the day on live, or I should say " take advantage of developer fuck ups".

not sure who you are, but there were more than that one occasion than that sky raid where it was publicly stated about the programs within guild chat / TS...a LOT more. i dont really understand how i was the first one you noticed when i didnt start using it until 90% of the others were, either :/
hell....as soon as i left and people saw me unguilded for a few days, i was absolutely flooded with tells from random people asking me all this information about trans and why they were cheating and all SORTS of things that i never expected people to really know...
its almost creapy at how much people know about each other in this server lol, instead of being immersed into the world of norath, 500 people rely on the other 300 people to cause drama and entertain us...rather than this being a game, its more of a horribly good soap opera

What a surprise, IB & Transcendence members openly using SEQ. Were they ever punished/banned? No. Why is Virtuosos still playing on here after admitting he used SEQ for months on P99? Perhaps the banhammer needs to fall again and some other guilds need to be "suspended from raiding" too. Clearly despite you being quick to point fingers at people in DA your shit stinks just as bad, and probably worse.
