After you violated the TOS. Not before. You make it look like funcom will not let you play on purpose for no reason. And that is actually not true. Everybody can play officials but who does agrees to the terms. If the terms are not clear or to vague and open for abuse then its your choice to risk your account playing there.
Everybody who is not new to the game knows what he is dealing with when he is playing officials. And thats why most have alts.
If Funcom would deside to close of officials tommorow or change their terms and let only people of their choice play on officials there wouldn´t be a thing we could change about that.
Playing on official server is not something you can demand. In this regard @Taemien is right.
Ever since the TOS got released I stood up against it. Because you do not have to be a genius to imagine what happens if you throw out rules without having admins to overwatch those rules at a bunch of people with high testosterone. And I still stand my ground, that releasing this TOS without active admins in place was a hugh mistake. But again, Funcom is not obliged to provide us with official servers. Its a free service. Their house, their rules.
Like I said: their house, their rules, their decision.
Neither you nor me have to like how they handle things.
Even if my friends are sitting in that bar you mentionend before, the landlord can still deside not to let me in. Its his property afterall and his decision.
I repeat myself: there is always something that can be improved. There is always something not running smoothly. I don´t know a game which is perfect. I don´t know any community where people not have heated discussions. The more people come together the more opinions on things there are. This is normal.
And that Conan is a buggy mess we all know. So there is allways a lot to discuss and allways a lot of people that are unsatisfied one way or another.
But that doesn´t change the fact that people love Conan Exiles and therefore are very forgiving when it comes to Funcoms mistakes. People spending not only hundreds but also thousands of hours in this game and this means the are satisfied enough with the game to stick with it.
You are right. They are selling copies of the game.
While accounts may be free on consoles on pc every alt is also a sold copy. So I see every alt as one copy.
Had not know until today, that console alts are free. Sorry.
You see with this statement of yours I have a problem with.
Because for over 5 years, I was a part of the pvp community. For 5 years we played it all. We started out in 2017 and stuck to it until 3.0. And I know that community very well. I know how abusive they are. I know all the arguments they bring to the table to defend their bs behavior.
Pvp players always talk big about respect but so little they give respect to others themselfs.
They don´t respect Funcom, they don´t respect other people, they don´t respect rules (no matter if officials or privates) and they always do whats best for them to win. No matter what “winning” means in their mind.
I show respect to people that I think deserve it, not people that make the demmand to be respected because they think they stand above everything and everybody else.
Doesn´t matter what the OP wants. If you think the rules are vage or unclear or could be exploited to a point where your account is at risk and you do not want to loose your account, then stay away.
If you play officials you know what you are getting yourself into.
