ok.
let me ask you this in counter question...
how does a punishment for goon glitching and changing your head size or getting an EG eye on your head can be compare...? *sigh*

Also, a question to pwi community...
if a player here does support this stupid punishment, would not you agree that the same player has glitched goons on his /her alt.....
Quile or watever the rat ****...my reason for calling u a glitcher, is simply because you people are so afraid of getting ban and losing your e-life that you start posting from your noob toons to support this type of dis-apt punishment.
ill rest all my arguements with you with only one sentence..go get a REAL b:byelife!..

I don't know what argument you're countering, because you would need to convince me that the goon glitch had a big impact in the game to begin with. Most people are more angry that PWE ignored their own ToS violation than anything else.

I don't think a 3 year old R9 archer is a noob toon, but maybe to you it is. In that case it is you who needs to get a life. Keep barking, it amuses me.

Seriously though, why not go PK and harass people (especially blue names) in SP. We already know that TOS, "rules", ethics, or morals don't mean anything to PWE. Sure we may get banned, but only for a few days b:shutup b:surrender

Wait, I wouldn't even "call" that a "ban", I would "call" that a "vacation" or a "time-out" b:surrender

Thats right, the JFC glitch is not of today, its been going for god knows when, but not 4 months for sure, it took you 4 MONTHS to figure out how to stop it ? why on earth did u have it open then ? shud have shut it down ? wouldnt be the first time you all would do sucha thing ? i mean for your incompetence you go and ban ppl who laughed at you roflmao ? this is just heights of stupidity, you know who should be punished ? the people who didnt have the balls to shut down JFC cause of the glitch cause you were getting money from it, and those stupid nerds of developers you got who couldnt do a thing bout it either.. go sack them sue them..

Yeah seriously, give those that didn't cheat a realistic way of obtaining 105. My new archer stealth skill is worthless against 104 and 105 sins

Why are we being punished for obeying the rules?

Seriously, nobody would have given a damn if the goon glitch continued. "ToS violation" was PWI's initial reaction and announcement regarding any sort of glitch exploit, but the reality is that they do not ban for offenses that don't impact the game' balance of gold and coins. Consistency is important, so the game banning for this on a serious scale would have just baffled and outraged more players.

I remember when a lot of venos complained when they got banned for "glitching" bosses with air pets, for example. That was 3 yrs ago...and that was probably the last time PWI banned anyone on a noticeable scale for a PvE glitch. Now people get away with 3-3, 2nd boss in FCC, RB, etc. Players have long gotten used to the limitations of "ToS violation", long before this rabble clamored that "it doesn't matter anymore". No it does matter. Touch PWI's income, you'll get banned. It is with this understanding between players and PWI that the goon glitch continued and was allowed to continue. PWI didn't ban simply because it wasn't in their habit to ban for glitches like this. For those of you who didn't glitch because you took frankie's words seriously - did you really think PWI would ban for an exp glitch? Seriously? It's not like the exp is even free. Mobs spawn, you kill mobs. Durrrrr. I sure didn't think so, I didn't glitch because I simply didn't care to level to 105. I didn't push myself to lv above 101 when other players hyper frosted to 103, even 104, and I sure wasn't going to push myself to lv to 105.

Exp was already flowing like water - hypers were both placed in the token exchange and allowed in FCC. PWI wanted players to power level, so what was the problem? That is why they didn't do anything. If you missed this then you're either new or clueless. You people act like this is a new thing. Try to ask frankie if glitching 3-3 is bannable, he'll say it is, and people will keep glitching as if he didn't say it. Do you actually wait for an official statement that glitch is allowed? Are you that stupid? This is just like when cops tell you that you will get ticketed for speeding, but what he's really saying is you can't speed over a certain velocity above the speed limit.

Of course then some people decided to keep biting at it, making PWI do things they don't habitually do. Well that's what you get. Half-assed fix, half-assed bans, half-assed replies. Let it go lol nothing's changed. PWI has been this way for over 2 years, it's like it's new for you people or something. Revert the exp nerf and everything returns to normal.

While I'm currently on a break from the game since the recent announcement, I've heard from friends on my server there has been an increase in violations - including PK in SP, with people publicly announcing "they don't care cuz they ain't gettin' punished".

How lovely.

Of course. PWE broke rule #1:

ENFORCE YOUR OWN DANM RULES

The last game breaking glitch (I think) was that Jolly Jones thing a couple of years ago? My memory is fuzzy. Where people made billions of coins. Didn't they do a rollback of a few days then?

Back when PWI cared b:shutup

yes, they rolled back for JJ

No they didn't, they "banned the worse exploiters". Quoting Frankie on that one.

You know people actually benefit from having their levels removed from rankings haha. This should be an optional thing for those who did not abuse the glitch as well. I would love to not be on rankings as well so when I go PK no one can see me stealthed because they won't know my current level. Especially when they increase the level cap. Imagine those lvl 110 Sins no one knows about just chillin outside westgate when everyone thinks the highest level sin is 107 or something....

I would really like an answer from a staff member why some people who received 1 week bans are already unbanned?


This is unacceptable and pure favoritism.

ie: -removed- on lost city server. received 1 week ban and is unbanned because she qq'd in wc and forums about it?

explanation please gms

Unless you can prove this, I'll regard this as a rumor.

I wouldn't be surprised, but still, a rumor.

explain how -removed- is now already unbanned after qqing all day and night about it

a) I don't know who he is and as a mod, I can't check b) so you believe everything people tell you?

Also, I highly doubt you'll get an answer as

18. No public discussion about disciplinary action administered to members.
If you have any questions regarding rules, disciplinary actions, user bans, or even a thread move, please use the Customer Support Ticketing System or PM function of the board to contact us.

and its not naming and shaming. i am giving an example.

a high level sin was banned. qq'd on forums, wc and probably had her large CSing guild spam tickets and is now unbanned. also, probably because her guild mate is known for being very good friends with frankie.... another reason why HE was never banned for any of his breakage of TOS.

I would like to know the reasoning behind this.

why is it there are select few people can get away with anything?

it is not a rumor. i saw it with my own eyes.


explain it or have someone who will.

do your job as a customer service rep aka PWI staff and get my question answered.

She's forum mod...she moderates forums. Do you want her to tell you how life works too?

more proof:

anyone who was banned was removed from the ranking page.
this 105 sin is no longer on the rankings for levels..... yet i am looking at her in game.


explain.


cant wait to see this person's name now back on the rankings real fast.... like nothing ever happened

Sir, you are terribly mistaking me for someone who is employed and paid by the company. I'm a volunteer forum mod, and as that you can't come in demands at me. I can only remind you that the company will not directly respond to any inquiries regarding user bans.

That's because they don't ban b:chuckleb:surrenderb:shutup
