It isn't the fact that they are enforcing it... it's the "Oh rack up another 30 accounts in my super awesome 2 box basher belt". It comes across like she is having the time of her life banning people. It's just not good PR, but they may not care.

Also, they make clear points that interacts between the GM's and players aren't public knowledge, yet they choose to broadcast that... comes across as a double standard, they don't want it public knowledge unless it give them a power trip/rush....

It's GREAT PR to announce 2-boxers have been banned. I'm happy when policies that are enacted are enforced. Keep up the crusade against 2-boxers Amelinda!

Keep telling yourself that, while the real boxers playing 4-5 toons get loot while you stand around LFG at zone-in. Majority of these bans are against people with IP exemptions.

Just curious. But you know this how? Or you just talkin out yer pooper?
And ppl with ip exemptions aren't ever boxing then? I'm sorry but your opinion ( for really, that's all it is ) seems pretty uninformed.

And for the broadcasts, I guess you only read the parts you want. She clearly said she didn't want to be banning ppl. I like knowin something got done myself and you really don't know pr if you think an occasional public announcement dealing with enforcing server rules is bad. Only ppl I would think it would bother are guilty ppl. There's that opinion thing again..

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Read my previous post, I saw it plenty when I raided on P99 years ago. I'm not saying people with IP exemptions aren't boxing, i'm sure they do it and they get caught. The point I was making is Amelinda only knows enough to go after boxers who have IP exemptions.

AGAIN.. not arguing against the enforcement.... it's the attitude. I have the same issue with Rogean. I love what they are doing, just not the attitude that goes with.

Precisely... if at any point the attitude puts me off that much... I'll just stop playing. It isn't, and I'm having a lot of fun playing, so *shrug*. I used to be a Guide on live, so I guess I have a different experience with customer interaction. This server obviously is not live, nor is it pay to play, so I can only imagine the frustration level with people crawling out of the woodwork and demaning all the hard work, and then attacking on a personal level. It's all non-sense....

I was referring to the in game broadcast, not her post in the forums. I KNOW she doesn't like having to do it, but if you only play the game and don't read the forums, you might not get the impression from the wording used in the broadcasts.

*sigh*

It's just the attitude I don't like, not the broadcast itself...

And no, regardless of my opinion on the matter, I do not box or attempt to... it's against the rules, and I do not want to be banned for breaking a rule that is extrmely clearly laid out and vigorously enforced.

Against people with IP exemptions who go AFK...

I agree with you on the attitude portion as well. Amelinda used to be a laid-back, hard-working guide. Now she's a stressed-out wreck of a hard-working lead server GM. Personally, she's always been pretty nice and lenient when it has come to in-game shenanigans, but professionally she seems very over her head when it comes to the raid scene and the metagame. She is a superb guide yet simply all that's left for real in-game support.

There didn't seem to be anyone left of high authority on the server and she more or less inherited the GM position by default, with the lead developer spending ever-less time on this project (and actually I completely appreciate that Rogean is a gamer first).

The end result is that GM support has been on the obvious wane for the last 5 months, with no bottom in sight. That leads to the manic banning sprees we have seen, and I have no doubt that innocents have suffered because of it.

I think anyone who has been here a significant length of time sees that Amelinda needs help because she is not at all capable of handling the gigantic work load with the implosion of the P99 management infrastructure we've all witnessed.
