See the GMs answer petitions then you get retards (tmo member or officer) swearing at them in public channels in front of everyone. Then you come here and complain that nobody is answering your petitions. Maybe if you guys werent acting like asshats all would be fine.

Bump for importance!

I can understand how being left in the dark on so many petitions can be frustrating. Whereas a 'petition denied' just says you didn't have enough evidence or you were flat out wrong and move along, leaving it ignored can make one or one's guild feel ignored, confused and lead to a deeper frustration. That can evolve to a sense of lawless-ness that actually encourages people to play in the "KS or be KS'd" style that I think we may be starting to see.

(edit: even on a non-raid level, I've already had plenty of circumstances where groups or individual players would come and out-damage me on a mob I already had been killing just because it had something visible they wanted. The behavior trickles down when players think there are no consequences.)

As for the recent Innoruuk that [I think] resulted in this thread, it would be a pretty big letdown if there wasn't some sort of response to whoever put the petition in, given the circumstances of that encounter (and yet another server first at stake). But more than that, it's the... 3rd or 4th innoruuk that's been claimed to be KS'd/ninja looted/trained in the past couple months that hasn't been resolved (another one involved a server first epic too!). It's more symbolic than anything if these get or don't get addressed.

But that's just my 2cents. I appreciate all the volunteer work the gm's, devs and guides put into the server, as well as any time reading through my potentially badly written post!
