I used it in september to october mainly, then sporadically around christmas time. I would usually only turn it on if I saw someone else using it.
I like the game and I like fairness. I also like style. I picked 1handed sword because everyone rocks two-handers or pole arms. No big deal until I realized that many of those people were auto-blocking. pulling off suspiciously difficult blocks and also having longer reach. I was never a fan of using it, and resisted using it for a long time, but seeing that so many in the community were blatantly using it, I decided to as well. It seemed like enough people were using it and denying it or keeping quiet about it that it was akin to an unwritten status quo. and that status quo was lasting months on end. Eventually I shrugged my shoulders and said what the hell, it sucks everyone has a two-hander and then to watch them autoblock the hell outta my eslavona made me disheartened and vengeful enough to stoop to autoblocker. I suppose the mentality was, Oh, your a dbag? well I can be a dbag too. And now those who are banned are all dbags. I just hope I can make amends, because I do enjoy the game, and would never pick up a two-handed weapon or pole weapon or auto-blocker ever again if I was let back on.
Shield rules.
ps ps I am an non-clan player who only used the public servers. From my perspective quite honestly it was going with the flow, ive never seen anyone warned in any hours of my playing by an admin to someone using autoblocker, and the entire community was completely mum on it. Much denial and silence on the subject. I am glad bans came down, as sad as I am that I got banned, it makes me happy to think that those rotten dirtbags who drove me to it also can eat that shirt-sandwhich too.
