72596, There's a huge issue with oversight
Posted by Kstatida on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
In short, it monitors #### flags instead of monitoring problems.

PROBLEM:

Why are permagroups bad? Because they create unfair advantage for limited group of people, which in turn makes the game considerably worse for people who don't perma and therefore can't compete effectively.

FLAGS:

Rolling at the same time
Same IP
Grouping with the same ppl
PKing with the same ppl
Coordinating w/o talking IC
Eq transfer


The huge issue is - it is by all means possible to tick all the flags and at the same time not being the problem described. But enforcement is focused on these mechanical flags and not on the problems.

This causes serious frustration to grown up ppl who tend to play this game (I remind you that the average age of players is above 30 years old, we're not teenagers we once were).


SOLUTION:

Stop monitoring #### flags - monitor problems. If you see a perma that occupies outlander and splatters ppl - monitor and punish them. If you see a hell perma - monitor and punish them. Stop wasting your and players' time by cracking down on under the radar characters - it brings no good to the game. There is no harm if I play with my roommate (WTF is a roommate when you're a 30+ dude btw? get yourself a house or something) if we don't steamroll noobs left and right.

P.S.

Funnily enough, the active and notorious cheaters know all these flags and detour them. So ppl who you crack down on are just dudes who in general do nothing bad. Ppl who actually deliberately cheat cannot be caught like that.
