I personally believe getting banned or suspended on Conan Exiles especially in the PvP community is too easy now. For those in the community know its only a who gets banned first war and nothing else. I think the funcom team needs to properly look through their rules and adjust so its not just being abused. Since they’ve updated their rules they have probably received more reports then the games entire time being out.

I hear you and the severity of enforcement has been a discussion point for the entire length of when enforcement came online.
Here is a question for the general group though…when does the honeymoon end in such that the ToC is no longer viewed as novel and just as expected as dying when you touch the green wall? My point here is that these rules have been around for over a year now I believe and so I am curious when does it actually just becomes part of official servers and not an addition that is a surprise to folks?

And when u do get a hold of funcom they give u a short reply and a very un detailed reasoning and if u ask for a better explanation they give u a link to the rules page that still are vague and have lots of room to be taken advantage of and twisted in whatever light

Did they install a mod? Mods are the only way to ban someone in a few clicks. And mods wouldn’t work across hundreds of servers.
Otherwise they need to login to the Gportal interface, update the blacklist.txt, and restart the servers. Its quite a bit more effort than a few clicks. This idea of them simply clicking a button and doing it down a list is pretty much false, and not really possible.

For example if i were too get on my original Xbox one with wifi not my wired connection and loaded up conan and approached a medium-large size base i would most likely instantly crash so i could just clip that and report everyone for having a “laggy base” or “too much land claim”

It was meant as a hyperbole not in literal
In either case it is neither easy nor simple. Each case is reviewed and monitored. They haven’t lied about that.

Yea but the “evidence” can be lied about. They dont get on and see it personally they review what they are sent then go from there

in my opinion the problem would not be so complicated to manage it would simply be necessary to destroy the base by explaining why it was, and not to banish the player for the first offense.(exception made for “real” cheating like under mesh duplication ect or it would be a direct ban without warning)
it wouldn’t be expensive to set up and it would remove most of the complaints
ps: when I see the number of complaints it makes me laugh when I exposed the problem almost 6 mounth ago and the most active members acted as if everything was fine and I was talking nonsense

This has been happening in mass on the official servers I play on. Tons of people getting admin wiped from reports by malicious people. Many of those were way too ok the nose, the bases were 100% not in violation of the TOS imo after going through it dozens of times. There is a big problem with this. So far I havent been hit but I had to downsize my bases to as small as possible to avoid this crap. Its taken all the fun away from building and fun away from the game.

Yes it certainly has especially when one of the load messages say “you can build almost anywhere” what it should say is “ there are very few places you can build”

Yes. Even on the forums, where people come to complain about their bans.
Of course, not everyone lies. Some admit what they did, but they think they were banned unfairly because they disagree with the rules. For some reason, they think that they’re the ones who should dictate the rules on the servers they neither pay for nor administrate.
Then there are those simply fail to comprehend certain rules, even after they’ve been clarified. For example, you shouldn’t place down foundations just to prevent someone else from building there. It doesn’t matter if it’s a giant web or one row, you shouldn’t do it. Yet there are people who say they have read the rules and the clarification of those rules, and still thought their case wasn’t covered under those rules.
Finally, some people truly don’t know what rule they broke, where, or how. They tried to follow the rules, they thought they didn’t break any rules, they got banned, and they didn’t get useful information from Funcom.
From all of the groups I described above, only the last one has a problem that needs to be solved. Unsurprisingly, that group is the smallest, and the other groups are much, much louder.
Yes, they do. This has been confirmed several times. Not just by Funcom, but also by players who came here to complain how they:
- reported someone
- received an e-mail from Funcom saying that Funcom reviewed the case and decided what to do
- nothing changed
I’m saying Funcom admins login to the server to investigate the report and wipe the offending builds, yes. And I’m saying that has been proven, on the forums, unlike your claims.
They don’t have to “go PVP to test your base”. All they have to do is login as admins, use the admin console to become invisible and clip through walls, use the admin teleport command to go to the reported location, look around to corroborate the evidence, and then go medieval on your salty ass to make you come here and spread your lies.
Am I finally speaking a language you understand?

Its fairly easy to see you definitely not apart of the PvP community seeing how you think my claims are false lol and yes if im reporting you for something relating to pvp u cant test it unless u were in the same situation if im raiding you and your base is laggy with the bombs and thralls acting crazy you cant test that until that time you cant just go invis and be like yeah i could see that.

The rules apply to both PVE and PVP for the same reasons. There is no PVP specific rules. There is no PVE specific rules.
Besides, there is notable players in the PVP community that will back up what Codemage has said so far.

You’re overestimating how many people get banned for stuff like that. They don’t have to ban you for how your thralls act if they can see that you have foundation webs, or fence foundation stacking, or POI-blocking, or any of those other reasons that PVP players still get banned for on the regular basis.
If they really wanted to “PVP-test” your base, it’s actually not that hard. All they have to do is grab a copy of the game.db from the server and then test that copy on their own.
But you know what? You can bet that they haven’t had to do that for the vast majority of the cases, because you guys still keep breaking the simpler, more fundamental rules.
You know what is the ban reason cited by literally every PVP player who complained about their ban here? “Land claim abuse”. You don’t need to “PVP-test” land claim abuse. You just need to look at it.
