Funcom, time to end the debate. Server TOS

[Ulyssi]

Sigh, another TOS thread…

@Caroll

Greetings Exiles!

We understand the guidelines aren’t optimal and we are still working on improving them. For this post specifically, we can say that @Kikigirl was perfect in their statement, which is valid for all Landmarks in-game regardless of the ruleset of the Official server:

@Umborls

Our internal documentation does offer our staff guidelines for how to handle each specific exploit. In general, the more severe or impactful they are to the server, the greater our response will be.

I am pretty certain there was a more explicit post from Mayra saying there would be further clarification in the future, but I’m either misremembering (doubt it) or it’s been scrubbed. It seems like they are developing a more robust rule set, though how transparent they will be with it, who knows. I hope they write them with an understanding of WHY players do what they do and not just the WHAT, but on this particular subject I am admittedly jaded.

I am confused about this new-ish argument of “reporting is the new meta”. Is the argument:

• FC is rightfully banning players, but the rules are out of touch with player habits?
• FC is purposely/ignorantly pushing reports and banning people irrespective of guilt?

Because we have had those arguments ad nauseam. “Reporting is the new meta” just reads as whining to me.
