How do I get someone back for stealing my guild without attacking them?
xxxx stole my guild but he's too good for me to kill.


xxxx steals a lot of stuff apparently. Submit a support ticket and hope for the best, however they may or may not do anything depending on the situation and the amount of proof you have.

Also be more Leary trusting people. At least get to know them before giving them responsibilities, even then they aren't always to be trusted.

several players have been scammed by xxxx. He has a permanent place on Thoran's Wall of Shame. If items are not guild locked then that is the guild founders fault for not locking them. I do know that several tickets have been issued to HCS and nothing happens.

Don't trust players you don't know.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

This is something that perplex me. If there is sufficient proof of a scam, then why not remove that person? I believe more people will leave the game and will be more harmful to the game then HCS tolerating these individuals. I know its in their policy not to police players, but with proofs, there is not much wasted time in using the BAN stick is there?

xxxx scammed 400k and a full Plague set out of a Guild I used to belong to - so far the only answer to his crimes has been the receiving of multiple 1oo stam hits..

Seems like the aforementioned player should be banned because of "repeated actions". It seems as if he has been nothing but a scam artist and thief in his whole FS career. He is constantly in the FSBox wanting FSP loans, and constantly there with someone yelling. Dont trust xxxx, He stole my guild/items/gold/something. I too believe that There should be some thievery in the game, but at what point does a player become an annoyance and should be removed?

What is better, is that the mentioned player still finds guilds that allow him in. I find that odd.

Admins cannot do anything to him as long as he doesn't break the rules. But in this guy case they cows don't seem to mind if he destroys the FS popularity.

My thought is that most of this post will be deleted as it draws unwanted attention to a particular player and this DOES violate HCS rules. I don't like the player either, I have long been aware of him.

My only thought/suggestion is that you don't ask the impossible. He doesn't seem to be stupid, he easily avoids breaking HCS rules. Nothing he says can be believed and nothing he does gets him banned. This last part is because he doesn't break HCS rules.

Grant it, most of us would agree that what this player does is "wrong". However, that's an arbitrary decision based on our own personal moral code. Unfortunately, HCS can't ban a player for what this one is doing because it would cause severe repercussions.

THINK about what you are asking him to be banned for... then THINK of all the extenuating circumstances. Making a general rule isn't so easy. Any rule made to ban this player's behavior would affect other in-game issues, that, quite seriously are vital to the game and that "most" people use in a relevant (and fair) way.

Be careful what you ask for... propose a solution to a specific problem (and also try not to use a specific player name, this violates HCS rules).

This is just a head's up.... I've been trying to figure out a solution to this forever... uuuffff )o0

The best you can do is get us as much evidence as you can. There is only so much we can do without it.

I shall be putting a cap on selling of guilds and asking for loans on the FSP and Gold.

Aha! Nice, that would be awesome.

I am guessing it is just in the FSBox and SB....

Would you be able to do it through message aswell somehow? O.o

That might be interesting

Just briefly thinking about it I am not sure there is a good way to automate it at all which means the cap would have to be listed in the terms of use that no one reads

oh just so everyone knows i am the one that edited the name to xxxx per forum rules no unwanted attention to the other players blah blah blah. you know the drill.

While playing Fallen Sword, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players.
