    For today's enemy you cannot simply expect to see immediate changes, everything is done in due time over the course of many events. Making attempts to get under someones skin so to speak results in a ban, this is a game of chess and you are a pawn get ready to be shuffled around if you can't take a stand with a motive and direction.

    PWE made the chessboard the way they wanted to though and made up the rules. As a pawn you have to learn how to play with it to win it... if you play the game the way you want it you'll lose.
    I processed your post with my large paws and pea-sized brain.

    What exactly does it mean to "win" in this context?

    WIN I guess it to have fun and enjoy PWI. It's a game, and if new rules are thrown at you you shouldn't try to fight it so much that it'll cause you to be discontent and miss out on what can be done. Like I said, they make the rules, and sometimes to allow yourself to be subject to those rules and make the best of it is more beneficial than to fight something that you really have no control over.

    IF they had shown a greater interest in the opinions of the minute population of the players that visit the forums continually then that might be a different story. But this has been going on long enough for you all to know to better.

    To win in this case is purely contextual. Each person here making a stand whether it is a flame thread or a controlled post for reasoning has some goal they would like to achieve even if they cannot directly relay it.

    example in case, Reds has made this thread with an end goal in mind no doubt. As stated it would have been a pm but it far exceeds the word count. Nonetheless he/she has chosen to voice an opinion and is gaining backing.

    In the post made prior pertaining to the chessboard being made by pwi, yes, this is their game, we are playing by their rules but that does not make it useless. It's slow, it's tedious but if you want change it takes time and understanding.

    The person that makes a calm point with emotion generally tends to be regarded to some extent. The person that creates 10 flame threads saying to F off under multiple accounts expecting gratification is going to be stepped on and pushed aside.
    I can see what you see not,
    Vision milky, then eyes rot.
    When you turn, they will be gone,
    Whispering their hidden song.
    Then you see what cannot be,
    Shadows move where light should be.
    Out of darkness, out of mind,
    Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.

    I agree with you. I think stating your opinions about something you are involved in is something you should do.

    It's just that some people just really need to know when to stop and just start playing the game that they like.

    As usual Rose, everything you said is spot on.

    I too have had experience modding forums. In the last one, the game devs were the head of the forums. Each game had mods, each game SUB-BOARD had mods, and each board also had help staff that were mods in only that sub-board, as well as community liasons and game help.

    People LOVED the mods.

    A staff of three for an entire SET of forums that is probably half again as large? A staff of three that no one can even begin to trust or respect because 1 has lied to us over and over again, treated us like idiots, and just recently tried to lie to us again, and the other 2 who have had less than stellar posting records, to say the least, refuse to interact and or even try to care about the community?

    Just, no.

    It's obvious from posts made in my thread (that devolved into flaming) that Grim has no connection to the game, being unable to expound upon it for more than 2 sentences before devolving into "I help lowbies, I want to be your friend." I was hoping for a lot, lot more. It was disappointing, to say the least.

    I would also agree with whoever said that we have got to stop this stupid flaming and get a grip on ourselves. We've called them out on it so many times that the mods are no longer likely to lock a well written, polite post in disagreement. So do what you have to to be heard. Even if it's be polite.

    Thanks again Rose.

    I feel like in a case as built-up as this [because there have been small complaint waves before, but they wash over], both are necessary. The flamers make lots of noise, get themselves banned. But they ensure that the authorities are looking at the forums much closer since the atmosphere is so hostile. Then people can come in like this and articulate things while the admins are actually paying attention.

    At least that is what I hope.

    My goal here was initially to PM frankie and let him know mine and much of the communities feelings in a non-verbally assaultive manner. As it was too large, I posted this in the Off-Topic section, since it did not meet the standards of the General Section. It was then moved here, for more visibility? I do not know...

    It is NOT my intention for a huge flame thread, I just wanted a reasonable explanation given that would maybe reach some ears as to how this community is feeling during these insane times. There are no hidden motives here...

    I agree with you RedRoses. I also use to be an Admin and Moderator of 2 forums, and I have to agree there is not much real moderation done. For example the millions(exaggeration) of spam threads that are not kept under control, the hundreds of insulting remarks made about other players which are also not kept under control. Of course there is a lot more I would talk about but I don't want to step out of lineb:thanks.

    Uh..it's just a forum..wow.

    How about playing the actual game instead? Oh..but y'all will ragequit that because the "unfair" and "non-existent" GMs that deliver this game 100% free to play are nuking your dq items or selling packs every week.

    No one ever seems to appreciate what we have: a great game. For free.

    I can do without the ragequitting crybabies. More server space for me...someone who plays the game...and appreciates it.

    There could be multiple reasons to lurk the forums instead of play. My personal reason was when they changed the font and chat system. Now I get migranes when I play, making it fairly unenjoyable.

    if this is about the forums, how come so many people are posting "game is dead" "mod is fail" posts and then riot when a high lvl get banned? the bans are actually justified and its getting ridiculous because people seem to have garned this "GMs are evil and the ones that go banned were heroes" attitude. nothing is wrong with the forums. this all started because night rage decided to rage on the forums....


    if anything its the people ON these forums thats the problem. the mods and GMs have nothing to do with it. if u want to play the blame game play it with the other members of these forums.

    I cannot answer that. That is their way of maybe showing they think there is a problem.

    That is not what MY post is about. Mine is about these forums. The rest is their posts, not mine.

    I understand that. I just don't see how this forum is such a disaster. I see topics discussed in the proper forum, and they are moved accordingly if not.

    There's a plethora of information easily accessable to all members. The mods seem responsive to most matters. It serves the community well. Don't you think you're being a bit picky (considering all of your forum experiences here and elsewhere)?
