GM's Monitoring Territory Wars

I suggest that GM's Monitor TW's for the purpose of "glitch" usage? I would like to see fairness from both sides of a fight.

The reason I suggested this is because of an issue we had on Dreamweaver Port Server (Dominion v/s Equinox). I'm sure tickets have been sent on the issue so no reason to republish it.

    Would you mind telling me what do you accuse equinox of?

    The quick fall of your crystal was not caused by a glitch or a ****, it was just several catapults and half our faction attacking.

    There is nothing like a **** that could interfere in damage calculations that are entirely done by the server.

    I may not keep up wth the TW much, but last i checked equinox is one of the most level headed fair based factions and they would kick out anyone who cheats. most likely, they sent the entire attack force concentrating on the target and not worrying about the defenders. Usual tactics. attack the weakspot.

    They did not get to the top 5 on our server by mere chance. They are very experienced and know their stuff.

    before accusing you might want to get screenshots to back your claim. They can research it pretty quickly on the GM's if cheating is suspected. Believe it or not I do think all of the TW instances are well monitored for fairness (this comes from a game designer from other sites. If I know my comrades on game design they would make sure every route to prevent cheating was taken and more.)

    Who said I accusing Equinox of anything???

    All I suggested is to have TW's monitored, both in-game and on the server's database.

    Just know something happen in a TW that normally doesn't happen.

    The idea is awesome. The reason, not that much.

    In fact, is always better having GMs monitoring some of the battles. We know that is a lot of TWs (at 5 servers), but they could inspect some of them, randomically selected, without noticing the involved factions. Just to catch unfair players sometimes.

    But about accusing the other guild, it's more complicated.

    First, you have to catch proof data. Screenshots, videos is better. The proof must be conclusive and must give 100% sure.
    Secondly, you must make sure the "glitch" is not actually an feature that you're not aware. Just for example, the guy is running too fast and you think is an speed ****, but it's just some itens from aphotecary.

    With this, you must submit a ticket with all the proofs and an clear explaining text - with actual relevant information, not just whining and crying - to GM's analysis. And wait for their reply, that is final and uncomplainable.

    Most important: unless you have gone through all these steps and the **** abusing is confirmed, you absolutely must not accuse the faction on world chat or forums. Even without 100% of proof. If the accused guild is proven innocent - for being innocent at all or due to lack of proofs - you will be known just as crying babies and the next complainings you make will have no credibility at all.

    To finish, just one disclaimer: I'm not on Equinox or Dominion (I'm on Immortal), I'm not defending anyone, it's just a piece of advice. I don't represent any faction here, these comments and opinions are mine and only mine.
