So when someone is TKing me every round I should waste my time chasing him around the map? Instead of actually playing the game we will end up chasing griefers.
Spare us and go back to writing loving letters to Josef Fritzl.
ps: Laissez faire is a wrong term you used, the proper one is "anarchy".
I have not tried out 'the patch' and only looked at character sheet to view the screwing over. I can not even say I am surprised by the whine threads, because it is likely I would agree with them.
Perhaps something 'new' needed to be done.
I don't recognize any of the people who replied. I do recognize a failure to grasp the concept.
Perhaps a rephrasing:
Why do you need some admin to hold your hand everytime someone fucks you over in a video game?
Because revenge tk'ing is against the rules and will just likely get you banned by an admin anyway.
Is this a whine about the patch or Admins?
If it is about the patch, quit whining and play. Its better.
If it is about Admins, quit whining and play. Its better. Its best when people just shut up and play though and stop worrying about their buddy who got kicked because he #1 - couldn't shut up and #2 - decided that telling an Admin to fuck off was the best way to handle the situation.
Some of the problems people create themselves. When a griefer is team wounding, your team is aware of it. There have been a few times in team chat where it is discussed, we spawn in, the team wounder is killed and in chat the witnessess proclaim that it was a just and fair killing of a team wounder, and on we go. Nobody gets kicked and the TK'er gets his desserts. However, if you get smacked and just go off and TK somebody before your team is aware of the problem, that's your fault and you just let the griefer win.
the problem stems from too many friends, then friends of friends being given admin power early in the game's age. This led to a lot of new players simply being driven off due to the many flagrant violation of admin power.
Then not long ago we went through a phase were the admins just changed names.
Then we saw a purging of the completely shit admins, but there are still many left behind.
Now new admins are stepping up and enforcing these same laissez faire rules that suits each admin's particular taste in the game.
and ptx completely misses the point... which is that there are too many admins.
Why does every action, chat comment, or gear choice have to be scrutinized by admins?
I agree with being able to defend yourself against tkers. The current rule that you have to let tkers kill you every round over and over again without fighting back is absolutely ridiculous. Let's face it, in real life you wouldn't let someone hit you to death, so why let it happen over a video game?
I know you, You try and provoke admins and question each and every action. I make a minor mistake and people like you blow it out of proportion causing a fuss.
