And there is a reason the rules faded into nonexistence, you still haven't mentioned why you're enjoyment of the EU banners should collide with NA ones, or why everyone has to have a super grim dark skull or battered shield for you to feel fully immersed in your 10 year old game.
Edit: Every shitty banner out there? I daresay, a red-eyed bear takes less effort than a flaming pickle to whip up in the software, and who appointed you SUPREME OVERLORD OF THE BANNERS, and gave you authority to determine whether or not a banner fits your criteria?
First of all the bear is my forum avatar, not my in game banner
What you fail to see is this, everday I see new players on EU1 who try to follow a theme, either that be Middle eastern, Russian, Nordic, Byzantine etc etc.
Having people running around with anime banners or any other crappy banner , A) Fucks the immersion of the game and B) Removes a banner slot, that could`ve been used by a new clan which follows a certain theme.
And no one made me nothing, I just pointed some fucked up banners and a moderator removed them, because guess what, THEY WERE BREAKING THE BANNER RULES.
I'd also like to point out that BearNerd over hear has been the only one in the entire thread to want all the banners axed, most people outright disagreed, or wanted little effort and cocks removed, but NOPE some admin somewhere jumps the gun and clears shop on every banner this whore posts.
Don`t take it there, because trust me mate, when it comes to insulting/trolling, I`m the best EU has to offer.
