no. that's not what it's about. I ban people for boxing because it's against the rules for them to box.

I don't like banning for boxing. I feel it is good for the server because of the following:

Some people who box....

...RMT
...hack
...cheat in other ways.

it ultimately ruins things for the average player. But the rule is nilbog and rogeans. so i uphold it.

Alright but how do you feel about people taking up your free time to gain an unfair advantage? I'd be pissed?

If it was completely allowed throughout, I'd say OK fine and be done with it.

But it isn't.

As far as the Rogean/Nilbog deal, I'd say I put stock in them. Now if we could juuuust get them to back you up more with things in game... things wouldn't turn out the way they do.

Taken from the question thread to prevent mucking it up...



So this is what it's really about, exercising how much smarter you are than kids boxing?

Are you really trying to say that the vast majority of people caught boxing aren't doing so via simple IP exemptions?

In other words, you'd rather continue banning scrubs because catching them provides you with feelings of personal accomplishment and a source of pride which is more important than taking a more moderate approach to crushing thousands of hours of work, eliminating players and friends of players necessary for us to group with, and stunting the growth of the server - resulting in a far less populated, far less appealing game for new prospect players?

Amelinda, please stop being trolled by people calling and/or implying you're stupid. Most of us are glad you are here and find you more than capable of GMing the server. You don't have anything to prove. You don't have to permaban people to assert your adept player-boxing perception. Theres a better solution is all I'm saying.

I've always been cool with Destin, and have to agree with everything he said. Pretty much all the shit Amelinda and the dev staff does hurts the server population and freedom/fun that comes along with gaming.

Speeding is against the rules too, but everyone does a little and most dont get caught.

Boxing shouldn't be a big deal just to trade an item or toss a buff or something for helping your lowbie level.

disallowing something that honestly doesn't hurt anyone doesn't help an already dying server.

I'm sure all you rule nuthuggers have never gone over the speed limit in your car, never smoked a joint, never cheated on a test or a girlfriend or ever broken any rule ever.

Ya no freakin shit, servers full of sooooo many hypocrites and self righteous nerds.

Some kids ( now adults ) still dont know how to play by the rules.

Why you takin a shot at me, we've never even crossed paths, and I got respect for you from previous posts of yours I've read. I've always had respect for your guild too. If some of you guys classify RMT as cheating I respectfully disagree. Cheating is using third party shit/boxing/exploiting to take an advantage in the game. Don't act jealous of the guap I made.

The only thing I could see is knocking down permas to 2 month bans or something as one time amnesty. Seems long enough to get the point across and if they are truly dedicated they'd already have another 50 within 2 months anyway.

There have been way too many "one time amnesties" already.

Legitimate people find all these numerous "one time amnesties" we've had, disgusting.
