I don't think there's a rule, per se, about BP spam, but there was once one about gold spam, so, I suppose BG will have to clarify this.

you are level 4400+ and been playing since 2013 and you need HCS to tell you if you are allowed to send items to inactives? im sure a 7 year vet such as yourself can figure out the answer. 

 

 

as ive being saying for the last 3 or 4 years  make inactive players pacs inactive ,solves the problem

 

i don't understand what's the issue here? if the player did not want their backpack filled with guild items, then they can go to user interface and block it. don't see why you wouldn't want to help your guild if they cant afford to buy guild store. don't fix whats not broken.

 

btw no one is chatting about this but you... you will have to provide for me some links about these threads.

yeah, but a guild's inactives can't do that cuz they are long gone .....   

 

and certain people think it's funny or cute or something to fill the backpacks of a guild's entire pool of inactives with junk that can never ever be removed ......

 

kinda childish imho, but far as I know it's not against the rules.

If it is about filling inactive players spaces why would HCS change a thing?

 

It's not a right for guilds to have inactive players that inadvertently help them out by having space. If anything it's detrimental to their economy with less fsp spent on active players backpacks and guild store slots.

 

Imagine the time on tickets if it was to be challenged, and you want more new stuff in game?

Pack mules have long been in game. 

 

Agree with others... leave it alone. 

 

Unfortunate that a guild or two currently accept new players and don't help them with the base assumption that they will quit and convert to convenient bp space. 

 

We got rid of bp mules around 5 years ago.... maybe more, when we caught fillers. 

 

Personal advice... spend those FSP on GS spots. Taking the short route is soooo wrong. Trust me. ,oP

  So now you want an official ruling after you did this yourself many times before?  Did you really think nobody knew it was you or that you hadn't been caught?  Don't know who filled your guilds packs and frankly, I don't care.  Feigning innocence and outrage at your own tactics is over the top, even for you.  Admins handle things as they see fit and, I know this will shock you but, they are too smart to be pigeonholed into something by the likes of you.


Screenshot everything!

Why do other peoples backpacks bother you?

 

Why do you feel the need to fill other peoples backpacks when they can't do anything about it?

Backpack spam, gold spam, it's all juvenile behavior anyway.  Grow up people, MOST of us are supposedly adults.  Act like it!

 

If I remember right, gold spam was deemed a form of player harassment back in the day.  Not sure if Backpack spam was included in this, but I do know that both were the stimulus for the preferences portion of our character settings (All, Aliies and guild mates, Nobody)...  Unfortunately, these preferences cannot be changed if a player is long gone from FS, and folks that spam these inactives for whatever reason cause nothing but problems for everyone.  

 

Since most guilds do indeed use inactives for pack mules to defer the high cost of store slots (or because store slots have  long been maxed)  it's obvious to me that Guild Store purchases seriously needs to be addressed.  Costs need to be lowered and the cap should be raised.  Otherwise this problem will continue with no end to the debate.

Seems to clarify it just fine. The bridge isnt always cleaner under the other side.

+1 vote for decreased store cost and an authentic way to build your guild outside of pack mules. I know almost every start up guild i've been in since 2009 has preferred personal back pack of the guild founder over guild store slots. I find it economically unfeasible for somewhat poor guild founders to do it the "right" way

Having thought about it a bit from the poster's point of view and the game in general. 

 

I'd vote for it not being possible to send items to any player that has been inactive for 7 days.
