20-30 day individual full account suspensions will make people act right. You won't have to suspend an entire guild from raiding. Imagine Henrique not be able to login his account for a full month. Nobody will be fucking up.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.

Exactly. Smash them hard and either they will shape up or they will wither into nothingness never to be seen again in the game.

Minimum of 30 day suspension handed to the individual that is the dumbass who finds it impossible to follow this set of "rules."

That or fix the shit, make it so it's against the rules to pull mobs across others to the front of the zone, I thought leashing would fix this kind of stuff?

Glad I aint in a raid guild now. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or they will just have sacrificial people to do this shit - they eat the ban then get some phat loot for their sacrifice. Even worse they have alts for this purpose. Reason you punish the whole guild is so the guild leaders have incentive to either get their members to shape up or boot them. Instead a suspension is just the price of doing business.

Well, then suspend the guild for a month. I don't think it would take many repeat offenses to teach them to behave.

Honestly I think they should just fix the mobs so they can't be exploited. That would eliminate tons of issues and make it much harder for 1-2 guils to diminate the entire server if the raids actually took some time and effort.

The way AM/AW make it sound it literally takes 10-20 mins for each encounter. If that's the case, then no wonder with batphones and proper mobility they are able to dominate so many raid encounters so easily i a short amount of time. How is this not viewed as a problem?

it's almost as if the staff have actually said before that punishments would get more severe over time, yet here we are looking at a couple more 10 days [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would have to guess that the reason server staff doesn't increase suspension lengths is twofold...1) the rules are pretty grey and the server staff is aware that most of the time their rules are difficult to understand and thus follow, and 99% time there is no malice in whatever rule was supposedly broken. And 2) most of the suspensions handed down (something 10-12 between both A/A in the last 2 years) were for political reasons, such as...letting casuals have their fun without outright forcing a rotation.

Believe me, if Sirken actually felt like we were out here trying to cheat week in and week out, he would up the lengths or disband us.

I would argue more about how they handled punishment early server. If you can recall pre-uthgard vs. post ect.. The days of the server being held hostage for days straight by ddos attacking nerds pissed they got banned is long dead. sure as hell would resurface if some end game elitist got his shit taken away for good with million+ plat/items. Same reason you could buy and sell accounts/stuff before. its all a test of the emergency norrath system
