Account sharing was against the rules under Verant's reign.

Should not be allowed here.

Way easier to just ban people sharing accounts on the spot than to do all this investigation of who took what first with account strippings etc. Banning known accomplices/associates to people who are involved in this kind of behavior is a good thing. What's the point of banning or suspending someone when a "GOOD PAL" is on stand by to get you right back in the game scumming it up with a lvl 60 alt?

nirgon u cray cray they only investigate that stuff when it suits them anyway

Hey buddy, I tried to dig up the old thread and quotes from Nizzar, but I dare you to have an opinion on topics like this that differ from him. You will be booted and blacklisted, he has said as much. All of Nihilum has to stay rank and file when it comes to topics like this, you can't have an opposing view to his. Keep thinking you have a big swinging dick when you're just a cog in the wheel where 500 other players have been and gone.

you're dumb as fuck, maybe living in the past because of emotional scars.

Let me fill this in for you:

because... it will make me getting loot harder. I will have to log in multiple times a week, at various times of the day rather than on a single day when my entire guild has blocked off time to kill every raid mob in the game. It's not fair that everyone else has gotten all of their items and tons of DKP in this system, while I'm fairly new and haven't gotten a big enough piece of the pie yet! Plus, velious is coming out... yeah, I need more DKP for velious!

I mean, I can't blame you. Humans want self preservation. Variance wouldn't be good for anyone in Nihilum. Your very dedicated player base (which isn't as big as you think it is) would still log in for all the raid spawns and batphones, but the less dedicated players (people with jobs and shit) would laugh at getting a batphone at 4am for Faydader. If that example isn't good enough for you, you are free to take any raid mob in game that you currently kill, and attach any hour of any day to it. If you think your guild can field every hour of every day with the same number you bring to your raid day, then you got one hell of a chinese gold farming team!

Toodles.

I've already stated I wouldn't bother sticking around if there was variance. I'm not alone.

Make server worse for everyone? Check.
Make people quit the server? Check.

It's remarkable they haven't done this already.

Casuals can't just show up once a week to get loot = make server worse for everyone ? lol
Make people quit the server ? = All of Azrael and other veteran competition would return since there's more PVP ? lvl 60 PVP would actually happen once more...

It's remarkable they haven't done this .. yeah , real remarkable. 3 years later a server in whose existance is composed of 95% of the time no pvp. Let's keep it teh same.

So you're anti neckbeard or anti casual?

Anti everyone? Sounds about right.

I've never said I was anti neck beard, I've always supported Nihilum's model and I think it suits them well. The problem is a ruleset where Zerg means noone else can play. As I've stated, I am certain Nihilum would still get 90% + of the mobs, we don't care. We just want to have a chance at engaging something other than 50 Nihilum in the 3 hour window everything is perfectly lined up at, every week.

2-3 raid targets went to Hokuten the last 2 simulated repops. Somehow the entire raid scene wasn't shit up in the process. So whats your problem again?

Ok then. Problem solved, pls move this thread to resolved thanks.

every 2 weeks everyone goes their own separate way and free loot is acquired... I can see how you have no problem with that.
