more, I miss the ones that were driven away by the lack of game integrity those that who were banned displayed ...
and I miss the ones that left the game because it became boring without personalities that were banned.

unless you want a game where cheating is encouraged and dishonesty the norm ?
It's the game's design fault. The greater the incentives, the greater the motivation for cheating. Banning funny people isn't the answer here, change the game design, that's all I am saying. When sigi sent his multis to kill someone on the BB that wasn't that damaging for the game as his absense. The Dude's bio would win any contest based upon the number of views.
they're not banning funny people - they're banning CHEATS who may or not be funny. BIG difference.
But, that's fine - you want 'em still in the game regardless of their game morality, I don't - we can agree to disagree

Ok then, just a small correction, posting quotes from movies in bio's isn't cheating

Not everyone who is banned is a cheat. Remember... 3 offenses and you are out no matter the offense. If you curse at a newb once a year, after 3 years you might be permanently banned.

Yes, I thought of that afterwards ... but, cheating or repeated transgressions are still valid reasons for being banned.

Ah yes, the good old days...when you were lucky to get 20,000 gold for an FSP. From what I hear, it was much cheaper at one point, but I wasn't around yet.
Here is some hilarity: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47176&p=319011#p319011
Samurai stats were borked so bad, I could solo it without SES. I have no idea what level I was then. Pretty sure it was <100. People also thought I was a female. Good times.
Looking at that thread with the screen shots is slightly depressing...I've only moved up 100 ranking slots in 4 years. I suck at this game.

iirc, there was a bet between tt and dapred and maybe EddyD about which parts I had. lol
I just looked up a ton of old threads...remembering the thousands of FSP I lost on failed Wards...
...also, hello Strykes. I've missed you :cry:

Ahh the good old days.
When PVP was person against person, purely your setup against theirs. No bounty board, no whinging..well not much when you got de-leveled as that was the name of the game.
I remember chasing a player Kagesomthing or another through 40 levels, hitting him daily purely because it became a challenge to level, hit him, relevel when he and his guild deleveled me and rinse and repeat.
When declaring war on guilds was a daily occurence, where hunting down the guild treasurers was the norm.
I made most of my friends that way. mpark, strykes, treeline etc all suffered PVP at one stage but are still amongst the greats and will always be so.
Now its all about leveling, the PVP fun has gone, bounties mean players outside of standard pvp range can now crush players. The fun has gone.Theres no individuality. no challenge. how you do depends on where and who buffs you, not on your set up as much. legendaries are 2 a penny, whereas before they were rare.

Yea they started pushing the leveling aspect of the game because there was more money in it a long time ago. So pvp became the "bad" side of the game and they started nerfing it a little here, a little there. It resembles now what it was but little.Now its all about leveling, the PVP fun has gone,
