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.

HOLY!!!!

NA is the most diversified patchwork of gear in CRPG. NA doesn't follow themes, it follows its heart. Fuck off with your "THEME THIS" bullshit.  This isn't EU1, and EU1 doesn't define CRPG.

Wow, locking thread cause he can't handle any discussion over it. Get over yourself.

I actually locked the thread because I got tired of drinking NA tears.  :lol:

Cause you show how little you know, or care of an entire section of crpg.

Gimme a second BB, typing out extremely long winded super cereal reply again because you can't take criticism and have to jump ship.

An entire section??

People who have trollish banners are probably  10% of the NA population.

Hospitallers, FCC, Veluca, Occitan, Frisian, all follow a certain theme, so please spare me with your bullshit about me ruining your fun.

Previous thread continuation, pickle will not rest.

First of all the bear is my forum avatar, not my in game banner  :lol:

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.

To start off, I'd like for you to post your banner in the thread, just so I have something to work off when I make us a new banner because FLAME PICKLE BAD.
For your argument, I don't really know what your impressionable EU peasant crowd is doing on NA (leeching DTV? Seriously take back your fucking 13 shield leechers with 300 ping) but I sincerely doubt that an EU newbie is going to stumble into a NA server, spy a custom banner, seize up while simultaneously kicking the power button on his computer and killing the influx of new players.
For your quotes about immersion, if you really care so much, I do believe you can play WITHOUT WSE2 to receive the good'ol Native banners. Couple this with your point about there not being enough banners to go around, seriously? I count 10 right now on the Auctions, and bound to be more going up soon now that many were cut.

Oh and don't worry about me buddy, I'll fling shit with the best of them (as long as I don't immortalize it on a banner, heaven forbid.)

I ment section as in NA. I didn't want to say half since both China and EU are probably bigger.

EDIT: also, most of those factions have tossed in fun banners when they wanted too, btw.

The Byzantium clan???

The HRE clan???

The Templars???

The Turks *kapikulu*???

The Russians???


All of them follow a  certain theme..


Besides, I don`t get all the fuss, you only lost the banner, not the slot.

Yeah. Thats their themes. And people should be able to pick whatever theme they want. If you want to enforce medieval themes on everyone because "otherwise it breaks my medieval simulation" then no.

Random thing to note is that most of the 300 pingers with 13 shield are actually chinese, not EU.
