Anybody who thinks they can make a statement like that and not be considered a jerk should go take a long hard look at themselves. Your turn.

I'm in this camp. No one likes being so blatantly robbed. I understand FTP needs cash and I've bought packs and paid Zen but this game is way too expensive if you want the top runes etc. I'm treating it now as a free online solo game.
-
That's the nub. Any effective fair solution would require enough support staff to cover all themajor languages, available 24/7 365, to monitor posts and review the auto-bans. That would be expensive considering it would have to cover STO also. It's just cheaper and easier for them to do what they've always done. Let the…

They'd just follow you to the new channel. It's spammers all the way down.
-
The trouble is even if trade people only post once a minute there are so many of them the effect is a collective spamming of the channel. A trade channel is needed and draconian punishments imposed on traders posting outside of it. That leaves the gold spammers but recently even they are swamped by the player trade posts.…

More duping exploits? Jesus. I'm so naive I thought the odd pile I saw was the result of grafting. How did this sort of thing get through closed beta?
-
I noticed this. I used to be able to and now I cannot. I assumed it was yet another exploit of some sort and stopped trying.
-
Not going to happen PWE, not going to happen. The mistake I think they are making is in prices. Once you do the math and realise how much real money stuff is (and I have a job and a life, I don't spend every waking hour grinding AD to turn to Zen, like a good little consumer I buy Zen) you have to think, No way. But cut…
-
Thanks for the explanation. In that one instance case I can see the point. I still don't see who, other than the PWE person whose Xmas bonus is calculated on Zen converted to AD, is hurt if enchantments and professions material are readily available at reasonable AD prices in the AH due to the efforts of players farming…
-
It's not how I spend my game time but if people wanted to spend their time gathering materials to sell I'm not seeing what the issue is. It's not like they are botting it (dealing with bots is a whole other thing and needs addressing directly not by nerfing anything bots can do) or duping anything. In LOTRO if I wanted to…

If a dozen people are 'just posting things twice' then the effect is to effectively and collectively spam flood the chat channel so no one else can use it. If there was just the occasional trade post few people would get annoyed, but it isn't. It is a constant and unremitting flood. If people look at the state of the chat…
-
True. i know i'm pretty old but I read some of the chat with amazement and think - 'you're actually parading to the whole game that you are a semi-literate bridge-dweller as if it's something to be proud of? What are you -12?' Then I realise that yes, one way or another that is exactly what they are. Uncivilised little…

It would help if Cryptic issued strict guidelines then. You can't on the one hand implement a community driven system and then 'wish' it worked in a certain way. Be clear. Tell players how many lines a minute can be considered spam. Tell players to use the named player-created channels for trade and LFG. Tell players ZC is…
-
Good idea.
-
Then people are always going to get spam-banned and then get all butt-hurt about it.
-
People are scum and pvp seems to bring out the worst in people. Hell, I've been put off even grouping in this game by the naked greed, selfishness and tantrums. I've been playing LOTRO for many years and was looking for something new. I had high hopes of NW but compared to the server I play on in LOTRO the NW 'community'…
-
Good, then we can dismiss the whole problem of 'unfair' muting then. The system works and needs no changing. If you have a problem PWE will sort it for you. Did we really need 60 pages to come to this realisation?
-
You can misrepresent and misunderstand my post as much as you like. The only people who count are PWE and they have a long established track record of not caring. You can either accept that's how it is or continue railing against the wind and the tides. As you so masterfully observe, all they care about is the exploits…
-
And then we're back to them moaning on about how it was an unfair cop and they were framed by the Illuminati or something. Along with selective screenshots to prove they were whiter than driven snow. If I sit and watch Chat what I often see is a dozen people filling chat with their trades. no one else can do anything. They…
-
Because this is how Chat works in all PWE games. Cryptic didn't 'put it there'. They implemented the PWE system. If you don't like it here you won't like it in STO. Besides, you can't affect their bottom line by switching your expenditure to another of their products. Take your gaming budget to another company or just…
-
Not if the cost of preventing broken eggs is more expensive than getting new ones. PWE thinks this is the case and the success of STO has done nothing to dissuade them of this notion. If half the people who threaten to leave or half their friends allegedly hit by unfair bans just closed their PWE accounts and left then…
-
PWE don't give a flying frack about customers. They demonstrate this over and over again. That's why they have this system. STO has had it for years and STO appears to be a big success. They don't care if players threaten to leave. There's always a steady stream of new customers. Who wants a bunch of old players hanging…
-
How many new employees do you think it would take to provide 24/7 365 chat multi-lingual monitoring and response across all their games? Upwards of 12. You think PWE haven't done the math and figure they'd like to keep that million plus bucks themselves? They are not idiots, they have a chat system that costs them no more…
-
Your questions make no sense. I wouldn't know which option to pick.
-
Being silenced in a game is JUST LIKE Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and the Holocaust all rolled into one.
-
Yes, because being burned alive and not being able to chat in a game for 24 hours are exactly the same. I know it's not yet June but close the nominations for the Pulitzer Prize for Awesomely Apposite Analogies now. Keeping it open would just cruelly raise other's hopes.
-
I don't think those words mean what you think they mean. but let me check just to be sure. Nope 'irrefutable proof' and 'hysterical paranoia' - two totally different meanings. I knew that but it's always better to be safe. Now you wipe the sputum from your monitor and carry on. Popcorn's a-popping and the beer, it's…
-
What I want to know is, what with all us 'haters' having 20 accounts just to persecute the poor little widdums who only want to spam chat, why the voting is so close?
-
It's the punishment PWE have deemed appropriate in all their games for years. You don't like it, try not to have a painful door-derriere incident.
