Then don't post idiotic statements and lies:
The respawns will still have a 96 hour variance and having a huge force will still be favored. How is velious going to change any of this when you can't even agree to leave mobs -- that you don't even need!! -- up for everyone else?
Currently you've got rules that no one adheres to and GM enforced rules that favor only a small portion of the population. Despite the fact that they admit it's an issue, nothing has been done for three years to address it and I've got little-to-no hope that anything will be done ever. While Nilbog's post gives a glimmer of hope to the rest of us, I've also been here long enough to know that I shouldn't expect anything until it's implemented and enforced.
You guys spent over an hour training each other (and other poor folks) in Hate the other night. Nothing will happen and, you know what? I don't expect anything to. It'll be a zergfest and more training the next week as well with no repercussions to follow. You're calling each others' workplaces and doing all sorts of dumb shit and nobody seems to care. While I understand that GMs can't be everywhere and keep eyes on everyone, it's also true that they've had multiple opportunities to squash the BS and balked. I'm not talking about instances where there's a grey area, but rather stuff that's
absolutely black-and-white. Inconsistency, indecision, and apathy breeds anti-social behavior. It just so happens that it's this same anti-social behavior that the GMs say is a problem but have reluctant to address. It isn't until recently with Ephi's endeavor that RMTing is being cracked down on. It also isn't until recently that cheating accounts have been permanently banned. Add the rampant SEQ/MQ abusing that many players have been claiming had been going on for years and you can see why one is frustrated when the only response you get is that you're crying wolf and your complaints fall on deaf ears. These were all things that people had been claiming were huge problems months in advance and they were ignored.
The raid scene is a only a symptom of a much larger problem here. I think the staff should consider being more open and approachable. It wasn't until Sirken posted the reason why the 364 accounts weren't permanently banned that anyone knew of it, yet in that same period of time you lost more people because of the supposed reluctance to ban cheaters than you actually banned cheaters.
