It seems for some people if you aren't cybering in Pocket D it is abusing the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's ridiculous. Nobody goes to Pocket D

Hrmph. You know it's abuse. You're going out of your way to be abusive of the system and to make a point of it. You know that too.

how?
where's the definition for players to follow?

if they don't like it, they can step in. Absent a useful definition preventing 'abuse' is their job, not ours. Since they're the only ones who know where the boundaries are.

[/ QUOTE ]

Based on your arguments alone I'm positive you of all people don't actually need a verbatim definition. You're well and above smart enough to know.

Edit: That goes for Smurphy too.

Good thing the 'vast majority of the games population' doesn't have anything to do with my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can't argue with that.

Then you haven't been paying attention or simply don't care. Which is your prerogative.

Actually, just the opposite. I agree with everything they've done that I can think of. Up to and including draconian dictatorship.

I've been playing these games since Meridian 59 and I've worked in QA for 6 years. Give a player an inch they'll kill your baby and burn your house down.

Well, I think that just about says it all, right there. There's really not much else upon which one can elaborate, you've summed up nicely for us what your mentality is and how you feel about players, and from the perspective of someone who works within the industry no less.

On one hand I think I like you and the other I think you're messing with me.. I feel so torn...

Nice resume. Doesn't make a damn bit of difference to me. I'd still disagree with you all day long. Not that I will, since it would be a waste of time. Suffice it to say that there are enough people that don't agree with your assessment to warrant the notation.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll personally call 'very vocal minority' on this whole thing and am extremely comfortable assuming the vast majority of the games population doesn't even know anything about any of this.

Just thought I'd throw in as part of the customer base I don't feel ANY of that. I don't feel treated like garbage. I don't play with anyone that does... I haven't been hurt, maligned, dis'd or anything else by any changes or anything Posi's said or done.

People leave all the time. A few forumites isn't even a stastic.

The servers are currently down for regular maintenance friend.
They should be back up 'soon'.

Try disabling desktop composition.

Right click your City shortcut
Select 'Properties'
Select the 'Compatibility' tab
Click the box beside 'Disable desktop composition'

That helps some people with crashing in vista...

NCSoft employees don't need to be alerted to anything. If an AE or non-AE mission proves bloatrous in its returns, it will get pulled. If a player abuses (there's that word again) AE or certain missions, it will become common knowledge and that player will get a temp ban.

I am sure that you are an astute and intelligent individual. Would you please be so kind as to point out if YOU personally feel that any of my plans are considered "abuse"? I'm sure that a rational and reasonable person such as yourself would have no problem with someone who is truly, honestly, and openly attempting not to cause any "abuse."

[/ QUOTE ]

Hrmph. You know it's abuse. You're going out of your way to be abusive of the system and to make a point of it. You know that too.

Now go on, say something like 'Could you explain exactly how it's abuse'.

You know, is there honestly any good reason CS shouldn't just take 2 minutes and help him? I can't think of one. And 'working as intended' and 'Some random guy is leader now' aren't 'good' reasons.

Girls do have teh cooties. I read it on the interweb.
