ps spam, when will you visit franz server? :)
Visit Luna as well! ^^
This should happen more often. Like, once a week. :)
nice, would be nice to see some GM's ingame again :)
yeah yeah sure ... they dont even read hero chat logs for franz. Everybody knows one long term franz hero toon was sold last few days, new owner of the toon even said he bought the toon on HERO chat and did anybody do anything? sure

Did _you_ petition?

Anyway, would be very nice to see a visit on Luna. My bishop can't find enough mobs in Fotd cause the 1/1 boat/mob freq.
Awesome!

Hope this will happen on a more frequent basis, and that i can witness such a happy day as well. Seing a GM come and kill bots when i'm close would be a joy for my eyes. :D

Did _you_ petition?




For what? do you know how many Hero's and Uber PVP's people admit to me they Botting or I find Botting and can prove it. every single day. even on the dam PTS.

Some have been doing it for years and even got they Buffer banned so they say. few months latter you see that same buffer that was told 2 me it got baned.

petition is a waste I don't even bother any more it's seams 2 be part of the game and 75% of players seams to do it and never gets banned.

Another 10% do it but they stay at the computer. I know because even thou they talking 2 me when I do the test for bot test... they fail and I just laugh and say botting much?

They then do 1 of 3

1. they keeping botting and ask am I going 2pettion and I say for what and they laugh and keep botting.

2. they log off right away (I like when they do that it's funny 2 me)

3. they keep trying deny they botting (which turn me into f you your busted mode) when they realize it's no good they busted, they then beg me not 2 report them. I never answer I just let them think what they want and walk away.

So best 2 play and enjoy the game and train the jerks if they have a room you want.

When they come back to the computer hours later and ask if you train them just say "dude I just got here" :p

Did _you_ petition?





a) yes I did petition
b) like I had petitioned this guy (http://boards.lineage2.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=questions&Number=1083243& Searchpage=3&Main=1081548&Words=atropy&topic=&Sear ch=true#Post1083243) who was openly shouting he was boting 24/7.
c) the boting 24/7 guy is still boting in the exact same spot 2 months later
d) c) leads me to believe the hero toon that was bought for cash will be running around franz unimpeded for many many months

let me know if you have any more questions

petition is a waste I don't even bother any more it's seams 2 be part of the game and 75% of players seams to do it and never gets banned.



Sadly sometimes I feel this is true. I have watched a number of clans go from lvl5 to lvl7 or higher just from boating toons to lvl 40. I have reported a number of toons day after day as they lvl up, and they do there sub just to see them get hero and nothing happens. But somehow I do still find some hope from time to time, always reporting them. It just seams to take for ever for any action to be taken.

I am sure there are ppl within NC that do care about the problem, it just seams eather there are not near enough GM's to handle the few servers we have, or they just have too much red tape to go through for each ban.
B)

You find that ridiculous? I've seen people on Luna, shouting that they "WTT botkeyprog1 for botkeyprog2".

I petitioned but nothing happened...

as bad as that is that is 2 funny :D

I wonder if toons on guest accounts can give clan points. In Gracia, it could be a hot topic.

I have the screen home.. I'll host it tonight and post it here.
so let me get this stright

Spam comes and begins banning

why?
Always fun to waste SS ?

Those "free" one-week accounts where you cannot drop or trade anything, but are still able to pm other people.
easy to use as a temp adena seller spammer.... just turn off that **** PM function on those accounts and we're done for about 90% of adena seller spam pm's...

but how many times did we suggest that already?? :mad:
hurts their income too much..
yeah the conception of people emediately trying to kill gm's is well pretty obvious about the mental strength of the players.

It's one thing for a gm to show up in an arena or to instigate an assault.. it's completely another for one to simply be moving around other zones and suddenly alot of people have "kill the gm" on thier mind. Why at this point i can't comprehend, it's pure stupidity, player waists it's time and adena and what ever else, gm doesn't die to essentially god mode, waists gm's time.

Course if the GM's were on more regularly and more then just "spam" sightings every blue moon, the attraction would be significantly less.

I think it more stems from a friendly sense of competition and a way to connect with the people who are more intimately associated with the game.

Sort of like when you are young and tried to wrestle your father. In reality your father could pick you up and throw you several yards without breaking a sweat but you still do it. I think there is a certain level of testing of seeing if maybe the gm is in regular player mode, with the possibility that one could say they "killed a gm".

But it's all in good fun for the most part.

And I agree, it is a shame that we don't see more gm's. Of course I could see some of the problems that might bring up because if there is a greater gm presence eventually you will start having people saying that they are friends with the gm's and that the gm's give them perks.

I know there have been people who have claimed such things in the past. keeping the gm's more rare might help to cast doubt on such claims.
I wish we would see things like this every month on all servers. GM showing that they mean business. It would seriously help a lot.

The bot presence on Sayha is almost intolerable, and it's only going to get worse after Gracia when you can't even train them anymore...the mobs just disappear into thin air :mad:
Take a guess on how many of those toons in the screens have botted or openly admitted to botting on the "other" forum.

I never seen a GM on Devianne, well besides back in Prelude-C1, since then nothing.

Ok, but this statment really shows how appearance is more important than "what one says".

If gm's appear on occassion then players assume they are finally taking action and removing bots. But if gm's work even harder behind the scenes to remove bots but there is no presence then players assume nothing is being done.

So lesson learned. Gm's need to remove bots by actually logging in and making a show of it.

Might wanna take a look at that EE's latest pvp vid on that other forum as well. Last I checked moding your client is a nono according to the EULA.

OMG CHANGING HOW YOUR DAMAGE LOG LOOKS!

HOW HORRIBLE!

BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!!!

Are you [censored] kidding me whining about insignificant crap like someone's damage log? What a horrible game breaking action.

And do some of you clowns actually believe that the people in that screenshot thought they were going to kill a GM? Are you that gullible and stupid? It's something that doesn't ever happen, people started messing around, it was a very few players actually attacking the guy for a very short period of time. Players like that don't need to worry about a few wasted soulshots or arrows, one of the many perks of an end game clan.

Some of you people on this forum never cease to amaze me with your complete and utter stupidity and lack of anything remotely resembling common sense.
Changing dmg logs lets us know the guy doesn't care about the EULA. Who knows what else he thinks is "ok".

I was merely pointing out the irony of that guy meeting =spam= and taking a screenshot of it.
Sovrath

If I ever am to see a GM I might feel like: I want to "kill" him/her on the spot in the game just for the idea of having a centerpoint on which I can release the frustration I have gotten over the years with this game. Mainly this is due to what I believe is rooted in the feeble attempts at how they manage the anti-baddie patrol.

Maybe like in a weird way I want try to knock some sense into those GM's for lacking the skills/knowledge etc etc to keep the baddies out.
Of course the debate whether or not they do their jobs is void here as this is how I feel about L2 more then once.

I know it's a waste of SS/Adena/time etc etc and I for one will count to some number and move on. I rather not interact with GM's at all these days. Hence why I declined to partake in the raids Omega tried to organize on this PPS.
Last PPS I saw Omega in Giran town... I basically made a detour just to avoid seeing a GM on my screen.
(I mention Omega here is I did see him devote his personal time to help this PPS. Commendable indeed. I am no way mad at Omega as a person but more at what he stands for.)

Utterly silly and yet this is how frustrated I can get from seeing baddies etc in game if I am to play the game at all.

Some of you people on this forum never cease to amaze me with your complete and utter stupidity and lack of anything remotely resembling common sense.



Some of the people on this forum never cease to amaze me as to how they overreact and start verbally lambaste people for seemingly no "real" reason at all.
The current dmg log is a piece of crap. It seems as though it was created with the determination to make it as useless as humanly possible. I am not surprised if people decide to mess with that.
Especially since other players don't suffer from it.

But anyway, it's good that bots are gettin banned, although it will hardly change a lot. Unless spam spends a few days only banning bots....

OMG PICKPOCKETTING, YOU WANT SOMEONE TO BE ARRESTED FOR PICKPOCKETING?!?!?

/sarcasm

Oh, you were serious. You are actually upset that someone was pointing out that someone broke the EULA?? Gratned its a moot point since the EULA is never enforced, but any changing of the client side interface is technically grounds for a ban. Just because it isn't a major change, doesn't mean it still isn't against the EULA.

Some of you people on this forum never cease to amaze me with your complete and utter stupidity and lack of anything remotely resembling common sense.
Hmmm.... maybe if NCSoft and HGMSpam had been as attentive in the entire time the game has been out about things like this it wouldn't be such an event. If you look at it from an empirical view, you would see it's a pretty sad attempt at controlling players that they have allowed to do these things with very little repercussion throughout most of the game's life, imo.

And if you have seen the video, you can see that many of them were having a really great time.... though in just a bit the servers went down and many couldn't return.....
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is pretty much dead and you applaud them banning more people???

wow
EPIC FAIL!!!!
Bitter, party of one your table is ready.
Awww how cute......one of the bl ah kids want's to come over and play with us. :D
Jesus Bubba, edit those friggen exclamation points.

Pretty stupid generalisation you have there.

The way I see it it's just someone customizing their interface to suit their preference and nothing more. I mean take WoW for example, personally I don't like the game at all but it at least gives you the option to alter your maximum zoom settings along with completely restructuring your UI without it being seen as a breach of the EULA.

The fact that you can't do that in this game is ******ed on it's own, banning someone for making a change that is completely and utterly harmless would be ******ed to an even higher degree.

You don't like cheaters? Fine with me. Making a point of alerting people to someone making insignifcant changes to their UI is a little silly though, I mean lets be serious here. Are you telling me you wouldn't welcome the ability to customize your own interface? That's basically all this person did, yet here you are making a song and dancec about it.

Idiot.

First of all, your sarcasm is horrible. Not that that is any surprise because basically everything you have ever posted is pathetic.

As for me being upset, far from it. There is absolutely no reason as to why someone pointing that out would upset me in any way shape or form. I did however find the fact that he/she decided to point out something so incredibly insignificant to be highly silly and comment on it in my own little way.

It's against the EULA? Fine, whatever, as ******ed as that being the case is, you're right. So what though? I mean does it really harm anyone? Does it contribute to imbalancing the game? the answer to both questions and virtually any other question on the topic you could come up with would be no.

Seriously, what is the point of pointing out the guy changed how his damage log looks? Would it make anyone feel better or justified if someone got banned simply for changing how some text in their system log looks?

That is the trouble with most of the idiots on this forum, a lot of people probably would feel vindicated if someone was banned for the evil act of editing their system files so that their interface actually looks better.

Now please, Gecklar, stop stealing my lines. They don't suit you.

Keep up the good fight though, lets get rid of all the evil people that edit their interface for L2 will truly be a better place without the infidels!

[censored] clown act.
While we're on the subject of praising HGM Spam and NCsoft for banning a bunch of people, why don't you all go and take a run through those places you like to lvl in but normally can't because they are inhabited by farmers and see how you get on trying to hunt there.
ima spam posts so i can get to another page away from those annoying exclamation points.....

As long as the farmers are being played, no problems here.

If they are souless... problem.

+1 on getting past the exclamation points.
