Default Kindof sad...

I'm sorry to see Guild Wars go down. I just got level 50, Tboots, my epic, and some stuff off Vox and cazik. I wasn't an exploiter, I was bugged once, it went away the next day. I may have done some things I shouldn't have (accidental zone crash brings back Voxx for double raid in 5 minutes.. yay!) but I didn't exploit like most people are talking about.

It makes me sad that people would ruin this for others by trying deliberatly to exploit. I admit I had my evil side. Often times I wished the zone would crash to respawn a mob, or that a person would die and I'd be leaft to finish his job, but I didn't go about galavanting to make it happen. I'm sure Image has his reasons for this, I just think it's a bit extreem. I wish him well, and a speedy server recovery, but my suggestion would have been to start reviewing logs.

If you log someone taking quads of 60's (like from a fear mob) and he has no healer, and he is chain soloing them without anything but regen, you KNOW something's up. I realise, however, that the logs are VAST and would take HOURS to sort through when looking for general exploits. So I would propose that they announce that anyone caught cheating will be visited by a GM. They will get a chance to prove their case, and if they can't come up with a good reason why they didn't try and ask to get their bugged char fixed, temp ban for a few days. If they do it again, perma ban their account. Not too hard, is it? =)

Maby even give an option for people to 'snitch'. like a /report "i see <nameofperson> killing reds w/o a healer and taking no damage.

Then the guide checks the logs and if its true, baddabam, their caught.


I don't know though, I'm just really sad that GW is down with no ETA for it going back up. I was hoping it'd be sometime tonight or tomorrow but I dbout it will. Hell, maby not even this/next week! Ugh.. 4 day weekend coming up too...

Image, please hurry man. I know you're peeved about the exploiters but.. agh! Us legit players back in! :P

<sigh> <cry> <sob> <sniffl> :(


Ah well, Image, we know you're doing whats best for your server. Thanks for putting up such a kickass server man, you're the best!

:worship:
