This game isn't like other MMO's with degenerate camping & farming though... There is no subscription fee, therefore making them quit actually would save wear and tear on the servers which is the financially sound thing to do. And Limiting rewards per Account (like Nick Stanford) on this issue would by far be the most financially advantageous thing to do as it would force farmers to expend real currency directly to Anet to get more accounts. But they won't do that b/c Anet is a "Cronie-ocracy" of sorts. IE: they defy capitalism on many fronts for no apparent advantage. The REAL question here is: why does NcSoft keep putting up with it?? --ilr 21:15, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I guess because NCSoft knows the meaning of "dignity", "silly money making scheme", "insulting the inteligence of players" and etc. It's not hard to understand why some people actually run a business, while others are left harassing developers. Erasculio 21:18, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I think he's technically harassing a Community Relations Manager....not a developer (not that he hasn't...he just isn't here). And, I could be wrong, but I think taking criticism is part of a CR's job. Again, could be wrong. But I think that's pretty common in like....every.game.ever.

I think I'll just ignore both of you b/c you're attempting to turn this into a Pseudo "morality" issue and apply characteristics to me which you have zero authority or proof to be applying. The bottom line is: mass farming & RMT'ing on a non-subscription game runs counter to the goals of capitalism. The O.P. is correct, Failure to properly address this issue by nerfing the GOD MODES just further alienates casual gamers who constitute Ncsoft's real profit margin. --ilr 23:04, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Believe me - you freely provide all the proof we could ever ask for. Self-incrimination just comes natural to some people. 74.50.104.2 23:15, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh PLEASE... why would I waste my time criticizing Community Reps? It's their JOBs to know as little as possible about game mechanics while appearing completely emotionless. Those who don't follow those simple guidelines end up like poor Erasculio here... letting criticism of something they have little control over drive every little response they make, devolving everything into a grudge match. ...which is also bad for business. --ilr 23:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

"why would I waste my time criticizing Community Reps?" Apparently, you do have a lot of time to spend criticizing Regina and Linsey. Arena Net must be making something right if they can make people obsess so much over their games... Erasculio 23:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

It would seem like Ilr is more of a crank than anything. He's not really trolling, he's just being unproductive and unnecessarily derogatory. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't been permanently banned - it doesn't look like he makes a whole lot of positive of helpful contributions, if any at all. 74.50.104.2 23:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I would appreciate it if you'd troll someone elses question. Most of what you bring up has nothing to do with my question to Regina. - Kherec 07:33, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Then you should have made it an actual question by making it shorter ...I wasn't trolling, I was supporting your rant. Learn the difference. --ilr 00:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

That's LoL-worthy coming from an IP-sock. I hope it would further demoralize your view of the world to learn that I haven't actually been banned even ONCE. Unlike you, I don't engage in NPA's. I'm constantly the target of them, but some of those who participated were B& atleast partially for it. And I wouldn't intentionally attack Linsey. I <3 her moxie. --ilr 00:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, you just conveniently skipped over the fact that IP is spot-on. He didn't specifically state you were breaking NPA; he just said you were being "unproductive and unnecessarily derogatory", which has different implications than making PAs. I don't expect you to understand the simple logic that I just stated, though, judging from the way you just misinterpreted a simple statement by said IP. Pika Fan 08:07, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

This thread derailed a ways back and at this point you are just recoloring it in hearsay fashion officially marking the point of beating a dead horse. I made a criticism about Anet's business models, and several other users (including you now) all took it as an opportunity to criticize my personal behavior instead. Meanwhile I made several attempts to steer it back towards the main topic. Everyone who had a problem with my behavior had the option of taking it to my talk page instead, but didn't. I checked with Wyn to find out if I was on the "most disruptive" list and she said no. IoW: Thanks for your concern the case against me is greatly exaggerated. --ilr 09:46, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

No, from my experience with you, I feel the IP is right. Hearsay =/= personal experience, but good try anyway. Nobody said you were the most disruptive, and you had the choice from, like, since the start of the drama to move it to your talkpage. Really now, you want the drama to stop, but you can't take the initiative(well you did, but only after the shitstorm peaked and waned) to do it. I find it really funny you are constantly defending or justifying yourself of things no one accused you of, which attracts trolls and douchebags alike to post about you.

Getting back on track Era: ...I admit, I really don't know what Robert has planned for these mobs. It could be something really ingenious. This stuff about giving mobs "Health Loss" style attacks is rather clever too and has probably single-handedly increased the value of Skelton-slaying Handle mods ten-fold. The only problem is, it FORCES a very specific party-build that excludes a lot of Paragon, Protection, Warrior, Dervish, and Rit builds in exchange for ONLY HEALING MONKS. It's bad enough PuGs and dungeon runners all over this game only care about LoD/heal-spamming. Forcing it on everyone else too is typically what you'd refer to as "Hamfisted" a solution. If this is a preview of how they intend to overhaul every Elite area, then I think most casual players could safely uninstall the game right now without missing a thing. --ilr 00:27, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
