To me at least, some conclusions arise from this debate:
- Without a real limit within the building system, this will go on endlessly… maybe a hard limit on the number of pieces based on clan´s size, just like the thrall´s limit could be the solution.
And im only talking about limits because of the policy being so open and subject to the admin (in turn) discretion.
- Even though there are “rules” around the building limits, funcom should stop banning ppl from doing what they do (BUILD) without a proper warning… that is just awful and incorrect in many ways.
I mean, I do understand that some players just try to cover as much area as they can just because, but proper training of the admins to recognize what’s spam and what’s not is advisable.
If funcom is planning on suspending and banning without any warnings, based on a rule so poorly elaborated, then the issue is even worse than the lack of proper rules. To say the least, think of a world where admins can ban you without stating a proper reason … gives me the chills.
- If you pay close attention to the servers´s list, you wont see packed servers anywhere anymore… that led to the forclose and merging of many many servers 1 or 2 years ago… but there is a hardcore minority willing to stay in such conditions of emptyness, and I dont mean that we feel entitled to have it all (the space) but we keep the servers alive when just to set an example, we dedicate months to a project, we plan, build and decorate.
Please tell us funcom… what are we supposed to do in the meantime?.. we already have EVERYTHING and concquered EVERYTHING you through at us… and you keep giving us placeables and new structures in a game designed to create and dominate.
- Saying that funcom´s servers are cheap and have bad quality is so nonsensical to me… its like an excuse to avoid having to deal with some facts that i dont want to face.
I mean…funcom is getting loads of money again…(and i say again cause these servers have 4…5 active players nowadays) … arent they supposed to offer the best possible conditions so we, the players can enjoy the game?
- last but no least, seems like the banning rampage continues… many players are saying that they got “suspended” and the warning message when trying to log into the game goes “failed to retrieve suspension information”.
if anything, this game costs money in the playstation store… a proper handling of the rules is expeted if you (funcom) will suspend and/or even ban people.
im a coder, community manager and an avid gamer and by all means this is not acceptable… I understand the load of work you guys may have, but you either do the right job or you are digging your own grave.
Cmon funcom… we expect better… or else, if you ban those willing to stay will leave yet another empty server.
Thats all…
