Please don’t take a statement I made in regards to another topic and try to link it to a completely different issue that wasn’t even being talked about. It helps to keep replies in the “context” of what the message was at least closely - not excessively different topics. If things got mixed up then okay but I wasn’t making statements in that area.
There really wasn’t favoritism on any level that I saw. Or at best it was a few select things that might have happened that appeared to be favoritism but were likely just more a decision he made. So generalizations stating that “backers” are treated better than normal players is utter junk. There were many situations where people and guilds that were full backers of the game were stuck having to deal with troll type behavior that was within the “lines of acceptable” and James did nothing. Some of the game systems (like plot buffers) were done to solve everyone’s need and not just backers. Now, in EA there was a few cases where some people got special things while others didn’t but I saw that happen for backers and just players alike.
Lastly, of course he is human and had his own views on what he should do and I don’t doubt he made decisions that people didn’t like and were maybe not the best answer to the problem… But I saw many cases where he just kept it to the same set of rules even when people weren’t always going to come out ahead. My own guild was affected by stuff and he never crossed a line… and we had players that were some of the first to buy the game.
At the end of the day if people had James do something they didn’t like regarding a dispute and they want to call him a jerk, then they are more than allowed to. My previous point was that people are calling him that and trying to disparage them NOW because they won’t communicate the way they want. Those efforts don’t help the game at this point…
technically he did not get banned for the compactness but for ‘‘racism’’
also if the compactness rule reallllly got him the ban-hammer he does deserve a unban
only because there are so many people still breaking the compactness rule that nothing is done about, that its bloody unfair to punish a few people and let the rest go free
Hahaha. I kid obviously. Though my grieving comments I made did give me an idea for a PVP planet which might be fun. Working out some details then I’ll see if there’s 8 people in the community willing to do it for a month.
Same. Now I couldn’t have got the most expensive one. But would have loved the chieftain one. As I really want that head piece. And the bonus plots would be sweet not that I need them as much now.
Just sapphire chisels. And an aoe hammer. As far as tool. Then there’s teaching pies and speed brews. But it’s worth it. You could always smash gleam and sell it. Or refine it and mint it. Crafting a lot is another way of getting a lot of XP if you have a bunch of machines.
Thank you. I’ll have to do the gleam minting first and get a whole pile of tools then do this, but first I have a big island rebuild ahead of me. I let everything go into reclaim, because I wanted to build everything over again, but this time a bit differently. Hoping to be more organized this time.
You are very, very late to the party @CajunBeauty. Like, the party ended 2 years ago and now it’s just a bunch of cranky hangers-on loitering in James’ old apartment even though he’s moved out since.
