Hey zaphieon
So you watched the dev Stream today ! I did try and get across to them that it was not working and I feel the same as you that they blatantly lied about the Purge working when its very clear it is not .
In the stream my self and 5 others kept messaging them on twitch that it is not working they did answer partly in the stream after we kept spamming them , BUT then they came out and LIED !!!
I did try and explain it more to them that it was not working after they lied but they would just keep deleting my messages and done the same to my members as well , they would get 5 min ban from chatting 
I did try to get an answer for my self and my community but just be careful dude because they might start banning us on here as well LOL
I think its very poor on there part to do this to the community that has been supporting them .
I did make a post on the forums as well here : Purge Settings for PVE Server
But not had any response yet .
Good luck dude Kojak
