Game Abuse

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I call it abuse because that's what it is......

Manny people complained about him or her but Cryptic isn't doing anything.

He is scanning in the T'Ong Nebula All day and night and we want to scan data their to ....
I Don't care but exile him or something from his account .....
Because it's an easy spot around the 30 Sec it refill the data its a good quick fix when you are busy with data . But because he is there now Night and day no one can't scan their .
Maybe some people encounter him already and he doesn't respond to anyone.
We fill out several tickets about him but Cryptic just close the ticket without a proper respond.

So I hope on this way Cryptic will respond ....

Oh don't bother push him away when he notice he fly back to the spot and start turn scanning again .....
When enter you see him directly to your port side. LEFT SIDE !!!

    I believe it is against Forum Regs to use names here, but did you try submitting a GM Ticket while in the zone?

    Um, change instances. That's what I do when when I find farmers (or when I'm wanting to farm).

    And remove the name from you original post.

    All you're doing is getting yourelf an infraction. Use the GM ticket ingame and report.

    And your complaint is really that no one else can exploit because he is exploiting first....:confused:

    there are points in the nebulas that constantly respawn every 30 seconds or so and if you find them you can gather a large amount of data. it probably should be fixed.

    however unless cryptic fix or change it then the player is well within his rights to gather data there.

    publicly naming him is against the rules and filling tickets against him is not exactly nice either, all because the OP and others want to use the same advantage he has found.

    there are plenty of other points in the nebula's to gather data.

    You're only making it more clear that you want to exploit this, but he's exploiting it first, I suggest you stop digging yourself into a hole.:)

    i am fully aware of the situation. however if he chooses to spend his life in game sat on one spot scanning all day long then that is his business. if you feel the need to report the spot then so be it, but let cryptic handle it. you instead decided to break the rules by publicly naming him, for the crime of playing the game and finding a loophole that you yourself want to use.

    yes i believe that cryptic should change it so that those spots that constantly re-spawn dont appear, but there are randomly generated spots that give data all over the nebula that you can use to gather the data you need. he is not interfering with your gaming experience.

    if your post had been 'cryptic please fix these spots' then i would have no problem but you publicly called out another player because you want to use the same loophole that he has found.

    you either think the loophole is wrong then you should not want to use it yourself, or you have no problem with the loophole then your simply out of luck that another player beat you too it.

    We tryed to get his attention in the game and he don't respond .
    You send a ticked and more people did and cryptic does't respond .
    So our last hope is to get attention on the forum not with the intention off picking a fight but with the intention to solve it ....
    But if they write about a text and don't know what's going on why they do respond ?

    You are going to get yourself banned from the forums for this type of post.

    #1) send in a ticket
    #2) change instances
    #3) keybind your scan so you can do it quicker then him (this is my favorite b/c then they get all ****y with you and rude and storm off...or say things you can send in a ticket about :D )

    Dude most times I don't respond to anyone in game... I just fly away or log off. I don't play STO to play with others, I play STO to have fun with the Trek universe. It's amazing to see people getting ticked off about it... like I'm obligated to be at my computer every second that I am a logged in and I have to respond to every request. Some people, like me, have dual monitors and have their game windowed so they can actually research their builds, be on Stowiki, watch Stoked live or prerecorded, use the sto academy skill builder, play with demo record, and do other things at the same time while farming. Amazingly, whats not on the list is responding to strangers.

    I flew around the Afehirr Nebula for 3 days straight collecting data samples so I could craft items for my alt. The truth is, as a user you have no idea if the guy is a bot or not. Cryptic knows, they have much more info to look at. Account info, login times, IP address/location, plus GM status when they PM someone to see if they are a bot. Wishstone already said once that when people PM someone and they don't respond... they usually will respond to a GM. Then the GM's find out that it's just another dude farming like me who doesn't want to be bothered and they close the ticket. Relax and change instances.

    Oh btw IBTL

    If he got their to farm faster than you did, too bad, move on.

    Eh its been said before that if you manually fly around and farm its ok. Like if they PM the person and it's a real person just flying around collecting data samples then its just fine. Like I did for 3 nights so I could craft for my alt. Obviously bot's are NOT ok.

    What this sounds like is someone's bot is not working because someone else's bot has got them beat and they are ticked off about it. This is going to sound horrible, but the OP sounds like they are cut and pasting from Google Translate and most bot farming comes from foreign countries.

    Here is a tip. Before you point out how bad a poster might be. DO NOT fully copy their post and the infractions they made into your own post. It makes you just as bad as them and makes it that much harder for the mods to edit out all the names.

    Best edit your own post before you get your own infraction.

    I think the problem you are facing is whether or not the other player is violating any rules or not. What they are doing may bother you, but if it not a game rule violation, there is nothing a GM can or will do about it. Then it becomes your choice to either work around that player, or leave that map.

    im lost, are you saying that no matter where you go in that nebula he/she is at your port side, that he/she plays alot of hours and might sleep the same hours as you so when you log on he/she is there too. that this person might be leveling crafting and getting resources, that he/she is better at gathering mats then you. that you feel that its your right to have that area to scan for yourself.

    and because he/she likes to scan as you stat it is so easy to scan there that you feel that its your right to have more access to this nebula then him or her ?

    and do you not think that as cryptic have seen your tickets, investigated them and found nothing wrong after filling '30' plus tickets as you say that you now feel you must try the name and shame option as you arnt getting your way and that you cant throw your teddy far enough via tickets and ingame ?
