Questioning GM Decisions

Sounds like you're complaining, tbh. "Not going to play here for reasons x and y." Am I wrong?

there's a difference between pointless whining and a player who's played here a long time noticing some mistakes being made on your part. In fact, the mistakes are so grave that i'm willing to walk away. that's not complaining, that's someone who's clearly given some thought to this

And yes, hbb, it does. it's posts like this that should be allowed to stay in GC and not be redirected to RnF or not be made at all.

I have had RL friends who got on the forums and have said that p99 isnt for them. They think certain guilds get treated better then others and get a bad opinon from the thread trolls as well. It's hard to find a middle ground.

Your tone/message is extremely wishy-washy throughout this thread. Do you think people should be able to question GM decisions civilly via threads and polls or not?

My tone is not wishy washy. I am stating what I feel very clearly.

As to your question, yes generally, I think people should be able to enjoy the privilege of saying what they want to, as long as it doesn't violate the forum rules and doesn't impinge on the rest of the population's privilege of playing on this server. The posts regarding corruption, server wipes, and alternative punishments have been seen by everyone who is going to see them at this point, and serve no further purpose. Continuation down this path leads to nothing but sorrow. The staff of this server has been more than lenient thus far, and that leniency has been rewarded with hate and mob mentality rather than restraint and civil discussion. At a certain point this needs to be recognized.

I think his point is more or less that the majority of people who post on the forums and question GM decisions are people who are doing it out of spite. In the last week there have been many threads that ALL said the same thing. Every day there are 5+ new threads. Nothing productive is coming out of any of them, and if players wish to question a GM or Dev decision they have a petition forum for that.


There's a HUGE difference between questioning a decision and outright being rude and disrespectful thinking it will change anyones opinion.

These threads DO have a direct impact on the game community. A few nights ago there was a thread created about how the server should be wiped. This sent a shockwave of "oh my god are they wiping the server!?" throughout the game. Every zone I was in had people /ooc-ing "are the GM's clearing the server?" It was a full scale panic. Luckily, Amelinda set everyone straight but the fact that it took a guide to log on and broadcast that nothing is happening is ridiculous. It should never have to escalate to that level.

The mutinous, eristic attitudes seen on these forums are unwarranted and disgraceful. Do you want your money back? This server is FREE, even if you don't necessarily agree with the judgement of the developers, you're playing on THEIR server, in which they invested time and money so YOU could play this game you liked so much at it's prime for FREE. Nobody is perfect, it's unreasonable to think the developers could please everyone. Spare us this "I will not be silenced" rubbish, this is a god-damn COMPUTER GAME and it's LIKE 12 YEARS OLD. Let's try not to get caught up in the semantics and just play the damn game.

I see my comment got deleted... i guess it is true

You can have it back.

another TR kid claiming "no favoritism" and trying to lawyer it up so that other people can't pick on their cheating habits again or coerce the GM's into stronger actions to block their rampant exploits/terribad behavior to other players. Guess he can't hang in RnF anymore so he is trying to eliminate the bashing by bringing it to the server chat section. Kind of slick, but not a deterrent.... sorry.

And a suspension, for not following the forum rules.

It has absolutely nothing to do with favoritism because I don't care, whatsoever about your guilds. That might make you mad, or upset, but that's the truth. They are abbreviations to me.

I think one thing that should be done is hide the last post on R n F so things dont stand out when someone is surfing the forums. So if you want to actually read trash you have to go in and search for it. This way when someone new comes to the forums they dont see something offensive or rude.

i forsee a 100page thread

Looks like this is well on it's way to surpassing Bob's recent thread, which got 150 replies in just over 24 hours. Albeit the first five pages of his were just an argument about Trak & 6 rogues.

I highly doubt that this is why your last post was deleted.

Either you were ranting, flaming or trolling. Try posting something that actually contributes to a healthy discussion next time.

P.S. I have never donated. My posts are fine. Hmm... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I completely agree with what you are saying. People post WHATEVER and were ever they want. We lost two DEVs to these trolls complaining and yelling everytime i call is made by a GM.
