problem with rules.

Post by Will be ok2 » Thu Apr 30, 2020 5:28 am

Tonight, i was teleported to by dj church. he had made me aware on new updated rules in regards to castlewars;
that no alts are allowed to join, that if you don't plan on playing for tickets to not be in the game.

now the biggest problem i see with this is 1) people already complain its dead content, there are only a few people who seek/require these sets so why limit the sets and make it even more of a task to get when its already the most time consuming thing to get?
this being said; he also told us (me, ensignor, troll and roll) that we can run with 4 people but not only run flags with 2 people. So you're telling me that running flags is acceptable as long as we have 4 people doing it?? its honestly "lets make dead content even worse!" This causes people to wonder why people rage and get mad when double ticket events go on and people try to play "normal" If i put in effort to get 2 people to put in their alt accounts or even main accounts and afk while i run flags who gives a f...?

Honestly, i've had staff memebers afk inside cwars for me along with their alts, but now its a problem? id don't know how anyone could think that its a positive idea to allow people to run flags but only if there will be 4 people constantly running? let us use alts to start games etc. @Ryan @Rapsey @Mike @Ely

I would also like to point out, that me and a hand full of other players running flags effects literally nobody.. its not a negative for anyone all it allows for is us to obtain cwar sets without having to run flags only during double ticket events when people obligate time to run flags...

Yeah its against the rules to run flags. It is considered boosting. 2 people or 4, doesnt matter, its the same thing.
Most mods will not punish for it because it is well known that everyone does it.

This is what happens when you have overpowered gear locked behind broken content. Remove hybrid gear from the wilderness and no one will boost anymore.

I'd have to agree with this especially since there are only so many players that actually do castle wars. Another thing to think about there aren't that many people who play and the players that are far enough in the game to even consider doing cw live in different time zones which means it could be nearly impossible to find 4 runners at one given day. Which means that if someone wants to do castle wars they probably can't due to not knowing the right people and conflicts of interest. Also by doing this it almost makes the gear more exclusive because access to doing rounds will go down making castle wars die off. I understand why this might have been implemented but at this point in this games history we need people to be able to enjoy all aspects of the game even if a few players have to afk. This also punishes in many ways the people who are willing to run for hours and hours to get a set. By making it so that they need to find four players willing to dedicate close to 40 hours of their life to a mini game which doesn't seem like that much time but considering you make zero gp it's a lot of commitment only a few people can make. Personally I finished one of the cw sets but I know that it took hours to find one person to run let alone four. Also along with that I can't always be doing cw just because I'm one of the few that are willing too. I get private messages on discord and throughout the game everyday people asking me if I'll have time to run and recently I've had to say no because I have a life outside of the game. This makes me feel bad especially since if I don't run he can't run either. The only time I can see people being able to doing cw is during the event and even then it's not worth doing because people are greedy and others get mad and destroy the event for everyone. Maybe there should be a better way of getting points but in all honesty I don't see finding four players to run a thing that could actually happen enough to get a full cw set.

Ryan told dj who told us that running flags with 4 people IS allowed and is NOT boosting. maybe recognize the rules prior to commenting, thanks.
its not broken content either, its some of the BIS gear locked behind a mandatory game play which takes upwards of 50 hours, you can't get lucky at duel arena and just go insta buy it like everything else in the game.

Yes I agree. Also if its legal to run flags with 4 people its really stupid to make illegal with less. You're literally doing the same with 4 people that you would do with less. A rule edit is needed in this situation.

Incorrect. I told Dj and Pvm porn only a few hours ago that it IS boosting and they should stop it if they see it happening.

I have a SS of Dj literally telling me that running flags is allowed with 4 people but not 2, also saying that this is what YOU told him. Again this is something I asked you months agoe and you had no answer or concern in regards to the matter.

Lift this rule and allow people to run flags since 99% of people who have sets obtained them from running flags anyways and it literally effects nobody else’s game play.
