Well Elemental Dungeon will get a revamp with some nice prices and exp for those Conqueror players out there. Problem is if its worth the stay

[PenguinJoe]

Bottom Line: If you aren't being an asshole with them, expect them to treat you like one.

It's the internet RBNXD. People feel protected and safe behind their computer screens, and a lot of common courtesy goes out the window. This is an MMORPG; people are roleplaying the kind of people they can't be IRL. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall with these internet tough guys when they get pulled over by a police officer or when they speak to their coworkers/managers. You will quickly see it's all just an act; the SALTIEST of these forum warriors sure change their tune REAL quick after either A) a quick ban from me or B) an ACTUAL conversation with me. The effect is further compounded when they realize just how little power they ACTUALLY have.

Case in point; we have a player who is verbally harassing another player. This player is attempting to assert "power" over this other player; he wants to cause general distress, anxiety, etc. He has been doing it for an extended period of time now; the harassed player has done everything he can to stop the harassment:

A) The harassed player has blocked the harassing player.

B) The harassed player has reported the harassing player.

C) The harassed player has taken screenshots of shops made still harassing the player and submitted them in a report.

D) The harassed player has taken screenshots of the harassing player, LOGGING ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS to further harass the harassed player.

E) The harassed player has taken screenshots of the harassing player, MAKING A NEW CHARACTER just to further harass the harassed player.

As you can see, the harassed player has done everything that they can to limit the harassment, and done to the best of their ability to document the harassment. We send out a warning to the harasser; "Hey bro, stop being a jerk". The first warning is (sadly) usually ignored, and the harassment continues. You want to know what gets the harasser to think about their actions? A week long ban. You want to know what gets the harasser banned for longer? Posting whining threads on the forums trying to discredit the GM team.

I would like to take a moment to thank all the people sticking up for the GM team's decision; as we can tell from general consensus, most of the players here are just kind of pointing out the fact that they obviously did something to warrant a ban. We appreciate your continued support and input as we continue to improve the quality of the game AND its player base!

It's a shame that GM's have to baby sit these kids. So immature thinking that GM's can actually bully players in-game. Please make a reality check before posting your moronic assumptions on forum. FFS, if that person is harassing you, then block him and kill him outside safezone. What's so hard with that? Stupid much?

I only RPK, the amount of people cursing, stalking etc. is huge. I just block them and kill them (again). I've never reported anyone for harassment and I won't. I simply don't give a f*ck what people say, it's not my problem. I do however still have big lulz if people do get banned for harassment but these peasants are not worth the time writing a ticket.

Where do you draw the line between rpk and harassment, though?

Harassing is a bannable offense, but rpk-ing is not (rightly so). KOS-ing is allowed, but harassing is not. Is KOS not a form of harassment?
You can say that someone is an idiot, but you cannot call them a retard. I can make fun of someone and their mother as long as I do it with beautiful words, whereas someone lacking the vocabulary or understanding cannot respond without getting banned using his/her limited vocab.

Of course, in a perfect world, we kill each other with flowers and chocolateboxes - but this is and remains a 17+ game that has PK/RPK as a rewarding system and people just don't very much like being on the wrong end of that very system.

There is no political correctness to be sought here, but the rules and the actual gameplay are perpendicular to each other.

So with that being said, I'd like to conclude with: fuck it, who cares?.

well, it always comes to a point that it's too much, every people's limit is different tho
getting bullied in real life or on internet, bullying is still bullying

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand any of that.

Sound advice. Ignore it at your peril.
