just over the last couple of days... funny right? DISCUSS

[Tears of Destiny]

I personally enjoy watching him ride around against the remaining 7 or 10 guys and wonder if he will pull it off, as I have before.

savior i had 7.5kdr as lancer.. but its not the point of the post.. the point as i explained is how can i be leeching? actually maybe thats not even the real point lol

[oprah_winfrey]

It used to be annoying to sit there while you spent the next couple minutes shooting kids, but they changed MOTF soooooo why are kids still raging?

[Slamz]

The funny part is that you have Forum Defenders that claim your playstyle is legitimate and fun and that most people enjoy watching it.


Yet whenever someone initiates a poll against you, over 50% of the players vote to remove you.


On the bright side, your job approval rating appears to be only slightly less than Obama's.

[Tears of Destiny]

I don't recall anyone saying that most enjoy watching it, and "forum defender" is certainly an amusing choice of words to discredit others based on a mere insult even though the rules plainly state that this is poll abuse.

[Slamz]

To me, poll abuse is polling over and over with annoying polls even though nobody votes for them.  There aren't enough trolls to just poll ban people for no reason and have it stick.

When you get repeatedly poll banned/kicked with full approval from the server, maybe your playstyle sucks even if the rules don't prevent it.  I think a lot of you play CRPG because any self respecting fps admin would have perma banned you a long time ago for being annoying gits who think you are way more ammusing than you actually are.

Look, as much as I hate getting killed by rohy  like anybody else, since MOTF appears he isn't even an issue anymore. I don't even see how you guys can care and get mad if the flags are up?

Tears even linked the rules and bolded that Yes, it is Indeed poll abusing and against the rules. Your "to me" is irrelevant, although that would be extreme poll abusing, and is why people like farmer nate have been repeatedly banned.

[Tears of Destiny]

That opens up the door for people to be banned simply for "being a two handed spammer" or "being a my old friendcher" or being a "polestun abuser" or etc because someone hates it.

If on a map a few people take up positions in a chokepoint with crush through, next thing you know people will say "ban for being a bad playstyle" and away they go.

You can not dictate that a playstyle is a ban able offense if the game engine and the game items promote such a playstyle, else we will see entire clans being banned for "bad play behavior" anytime a server is rolled.

[Oggrinsky]

Feel like Roh is wasting your time because he is riding around shooting people and your body is already cold?

Solution: Don't die so god damn fast!
Solution: Don't CHARGE the center of the map every round.
Solution: Protect your ranged so they can take him out.
Solution: Shut the fuck up and stop complaining because people have different styles of play.

[Slamz]

I'm not arguing the rules.  I'm just telling you that the repeated successful poll bans indicate that the playerbase as a whole is pretty sick of roh and the people like him.

The new popularity of siege is another clue as well.

Ignore it and cite rules til you're blue in the face.  "They mad", whatever.  It's a problem and most people are simply getting tired of it.

[Rainbow]

I don't like horse xbow cav but i have to say this isn't right. 

[Bjord]

Fuck you bro I had it first. Fucking NA scum.

[Adamar]

They should go away because they're using a fantasy siege tool instead of a proper weapon. Maybe we should start fighting with shouvels too.

edit: good thread, no better evidence that a class needs nerfing.

[MR_FISTA]

Don't see why people are complaining about him, he's the best horse xbow in the game by a long shot and If you have to wait a little while at the end of rounds be grateful he got you that far, not his fault he always lasts because he's pro.

[oohillac]

The NA masses generally lack the willpower to use classes (archery) or builds (more agility for arabian horses) to counter Rohy effectively, and rage about him instead.  He annoys me when I am horse archer, but I respect him because he's good.

Also, sorry I shot your horse Rohy.  I support rider vs rider fighting when it comes to horse crossbow/thrower/archery fighting, but having only 3 HA skill makes my arrows fly everywhere.
