Thank you for blocking the arena yet again we miss out on bronzemedal

[Gritt]

Thanks for taking away the exp bonus for bronze from players who needed it .
The casual guild player
The player who trying hard to reach the next level to wear an item
The player who supports the server
The player who buys your stuff so you may progress your gear
The player who just wants to do something different each week with a group of friends

On behalf of all these players we thank you for your selfish act of indulgence.
Hats off to you …….

Yeah, this is what I have never really understood about those that employ those sort of tactics.

In the end they just limit their potential customer base. Idiots.

Blocked since just before sw by noto to only score level 1 to say they have not blocked it. Then for legacy to enter and score 31. Then blocked by 4 other guilds which reached 0 score. 4 of us waited up to see what time they would unblock it, 5 min to 5 it was unblocked by Daniele's noob in FirstBlood. 4 of us jumped in at 5am to do it. So a whole day of grief play was absolute pointless but yet again decent people have to suffer because of these scummy people. Already own all the walls but still insist on trying to take the last one and they talk about greed.
I hope Andy does something this time as you clearly didnt listen to him last time, develing your guilds to level one would be great start to.

100% the people responsible need to be identified and punished

This is not the first time this has happened and not the first time this has been reported

Grief play ruining the fun for others, warnings were handed out before and were ignored, now it's time for actual punishment

Lets play a numbers game here.

This server has what? 60-100 active members daily outside of event?

The two pve only/non-pk guilds i'm the co leader of currently has 30-40 active members DAILY. Most of which are new from noob island events, etc... We are a noob friendly guild and we help people build their toons.

Those guild members enjoy pve content, event content, guild content. We want absolutely no part of the drama between guilds.

So when any of those three things gets hindered by infantile behavior, like blocking arena and event npcs. They come and tell me and the other leaders on discord about it.

We did arena on saturday because we KNEW sunday was going to be a shit show. As it always is. We managed to get 18 points. -edit-

But also 2 weeks in a row arena got blocked and we got ZERO BADGE. -edit-

So I'm putting this out there.

Eventually our guild members are going to get fed up with it. Going to move to another game. Another server. Etc... Cutting the active player count on arcadia, drastically down.

Actions have consequences.

We thought we were going to get silver badge and we ended up with bronze due to gm intervention. Was that fair to us? No. Do we understand that it was because of the arena being blocked? Yes.

But also 2 weeks in a row arena got blocked and we got ZERO BADGE. Did the GM intervene for us? Nope.

exactly this man all pve guilds are suffering from theses main guilds who go war and abuse each other it’s shit rly is and to be fair I rly don’t blame scorp for not wanting to get involved straight away or whatever the amount of childish nonsense that goes on in this server is crazy I personally could not deal with it. Like just Imagine you come home from a long day at work spend some time with the family then boom you got a bunch of childish adults blocking content tht he took time to create and this is not just a one time thing it’s constant bullshit happening and ppl wonder why the gm don’t put much input when ppl are just ruining content.

Not sure what GM intervention you're referring to

btw 18 isn't a particularly good score, when arena was first introduced on this server, the first ever time trying it, we went with 4 people and scored 24. Now we regularly score in the 40s with some effort, and in the 30s if we are being lazy

I'm happy to discuss tactics with you if you want to get a higher score

 

[prasko]

18 was two people doing it.

When I logged off last night we were in second place. At 2 am est US time so 7 am UK time.

How did we get third place this week?

 

[Mustafa13]

I'm fed up of this shit

 

[Pookies]

When I logged off last night we were in second place. At 2 am est US time so 7 am UK time.

How did we get third place this week?

Because we done arena at 5am in the morning. Arena scores are dealt with at 8am on Monday mornings.
Because we had no choice to do it at that time or we would have lost out on a shield which is needed for people.
If people just actually done arena like it's there to be used then none of this would be an issue, all this is to spite Immortals and its making as you say pve guilds suffer and its not fair. If it doesn't get dealt with your not the only guild that is willing to go to another server. I'm just sorry that the nice people are being effected by other people's BS.

 

[prasko]

If thats the case then thats my misunderstanding and i apologize, as I didnt see yall on the board at all when I logged off at 7 am uk time.

All i saw was legacy us and notd when i logged off so you must have finished after i logged off.

Either way, i whispered all the guild ldrs on saturday asking when they planned on doing arena and they all said sunday, which is when we decided to do it as a guild.

but two of our ldrs decided to do it saturday night instead because any badge is better than no badge and we knew sunday was going to be a shit show.

Really hope Scrops comes down on this now before people start keaving after a great event .
Ban the instigators strip the guild from the sever
It’s easy to trace IP off offending account s look at guild chat logs etc just take time,
Time that Scorps could be using to develop new and existing content for us .

See I don’t think this is a good idea server is going to end completely dead because this guild will be banned and stripped or whatever then other main guild on server half of them will end up leaving because there’s no one active pk and just end up getting bored. I think maybe a stern warning letting them know if it happens again it will result in a ban and maybe stop them from doing arena for a while .

A stern warning was given last time this happened about 3 or 4 weeks ago, how many warnings should be given out before some punishment actually happens? The guilty people have already stated they don't care about warnings because GM won't actually do anything. I'd love to see that statement proven wrong

It is a good idea then maybe the other half of the server who actually enjoy the game and play it properly won't want to quit and it will bring more decent people back and the game will be fun again. Why should warnings keep being given with no action. Makes no sense if they can just keep doing it. And it's not the whole guild that's being complete ass holes, it's about 5-6 people within the guilds thats doing it and i can name everyone of them. So not all of them will recieve a ban or what ever scorp chooses to do. Why should others keep suffering because of them?

Nah it won’t it just effect the server even more because what will happen is get them permanent bans then some of the others will leave because of it then it’s just be imms running around bored because there’s no one to pk which some of your guild play for ok just as much as noto or legacy do so what then their end up leaving because no active pk. There’s much plenty ways to deal with this put there guild back basic Lvl don’t let them compete in arena.
What this is is grief play which everyone on this server has been guilty of again I don’t condone what there doing because it’s shitty but I see people say about cheating and Fuji well there totally diff things I believe Fuji was caught selling Gg (might be wrong) so that has nothing to do with this and also cheating will mean they gaining some sort of advantage of the rest of us all the doing is greifing and blocking arena I don’t see that as cheating. Just see as sad fkers

Bans are a little awkward because of the small amount of plausible deniability in these instances

When Arena was made we obviously didn't expect most Guilds to want to do it the evening before deadline but I know I'd be exactly the same given the choice.. plus obviously making the arrangements with members is a big deal

The whole thing will have to be redone so that multiple Guilds can do it at one time. Not a huge job but still a job!

I will look into it though as it will be interesting to see what exactly is going on..
