I PMed this one to Cricket. She thought it was cute. Everyone else can look at it also. It's my very own creation so I don't have to worry about copyright infringement.

Ok, I am now to understand that the devs of this game DO NOT CARE about their playerbase. This absurd nerfmongering has really annoyed me to the limit. These devs have really done a 180° in terms of intelligence and I'm not wasting my time with this game anymore. I was looking forward to COV but now with all this nonsense, I don't think I will bother. I'm sure there are other game devs out there that don't try to drive people crazy. All you devs would get a BIG RED 'F' on your report cards. You have really turned me OFF of this game now.

Ha! What typing skills? Don't you mean, typing attempts?

Is there a /command that I can use to talk in the global channel the same as I can with /g for team or /l for local?

I'm sorry for any insults or "slamming" of CuppaJo that I have done but it's just funny that as soon as I started reading that thread about shutting off the looping sounds, they get deleted. Almost as if they could see exactly what I'm doing at the time I'm doing it. Oh God, they have little hidden cameras all over my room! *runs away screaming*

I'm back. Anyways, umm, I still don't see anything wrong with turning off the looping sounds. I know people are against it for God-knows-what-reason, but I like to be able to concentrate without that annoying targetting-drone sound loop. Call me crazy but it's not enjoyable by any means and turning them off is hurting who? Don't get me wrong here but I like SOME of the sounds that are in the game. Especially the ones that don't loop .

It's not game-hacking, it's making it more comfortable. The people that say it leads to some really bad hacking that will ruin the game for everyone is like the same stupid people that think marijuana is a "gateway" drug. That really makes me laugh. I've had plenty of friends that have smoked MJ and have never turned to the hard stuff. In fact, they all have high-paying jobs while lil ol' goody-two-shoes me (didn't do it until after the military) is unemployed and looking for work everyday. I have a career of looking for a career, only this career is paying me "squat".

Interesting, I had like 6 stars this morning and now I only have 2? What do the stars indicate anyways? I haven't learned this aspect of the forums as of yet. Someone please educate me. Thank you.

For some reason, I thought someone on the team, whether it be moderator or dev would've jumped on this thread by now and tried making sense out of it. Are there not enough moderators here? If not, I'd be happy to volunteer!

EDIT:
I'm wondering if being a moderator exempts you from paying the monthly game fee. IF so, I would really like to be one. Don't worry, I have morals and will talk things out with the customers before I start deleting threads on a whim.

Only thing is, Statesman hasn't said anything much about mods as far as I know. I don't think he really cares. Could it possibly be that CuppaJo is new to the moderation of these forums and is blindly trying to intervene and "look good" for the devs and other moderators?(I am still not 100% sure on CuppaJo's gender. Haven't looked at his/her profile yet either.) I've seen this kind of behavior by forum moderators before. "Oops! People are taking advantage of files on THEIR COMPUTERS! Let's delete anything that promotes this RIGHT AWAY!" No thought as to why people might be posting this stuff to begin with. Umm, maybe we're all trying to say something here that CuppaJo isn't seeing as crystal clear yet. We have complaints about the game. Most of us don't want to wait for another stinking update that may or may not be coming "soon". Since our computers are OURS, we would like to change some files on them to help with the ENJOYMENT of the game. Now, don't you want people to ENJOY the game? What does it matter what we do with OUR OWN PERSONAL FILES? If it's on my computer, it is my file. Sorry, but that's my logic and my opinion and I'm entitled to both. Thank you. Have a good day.

EDIT:
I guess that would apply to the power of the moderators too, right? These are YOUR forums, so you can add and delete what you see fit. Okay, fine, we're even.

I have to agree with the majority of those posting here that the looping and loud sound fx are extraordinarily and extremely [censored] ANNOYING!

Fine, I'll "give it a rest", but I'm still very upset.

exactly what I'm thinking, Baaric. I seriously hope that's the stance Cryptic is making ... Mods make the game that much more fun, and they don't impact/harm anyone ... at least in this environment.

They would only get a handful of cancellations from this change, so I don't see that as a threat for them when you talk of subscriptions in the range of thousands.

Well, I guess that puts them in the category of Gods then, eh? Nothing we do will affect them now since they have so many "followers". Just a few of us quitting won't do any significant damage to their pocketbooks. Truthfully, I think a great more many customers that don't post on these forums but just read them like I did a few days ago will just follow suit.

I'm in total agreement with paintedskies.

This is moderator power-abuse in it's most ugliest form if I've ever seen it. You think the people that made Unreal Tournament are this close-minded? Their entire success of UT99, UT2003, and UT2004 are all due to client-side mods and customer imagination... 'nuff said.

To add to this:
I was very happy with the game and the overall mechanics, community and such but as soon as I found out that CuppaJo was abusing his power as a moderator, I've become quite furious. Don't think I'm overreacting, because I'm not. I just read some posts about how moderator and dev communication were the best around for any MMORPG. This has totally turned that idea 180°.

Well, in my honest opinion, these client mods in no way affects other customers nor does it put any burden on the devs. It actually "enhances" interest in the game. When a moderator like CuppaJo steps in and can delete these threads on his own whim without first discussing it is in my opinion very hurtful to customer trust. In other words, it seems to me that CuppaJo does not have an open mind and anything that even remotely "resembles" breaking the rules is hereby forbidden. Even if it was all completely innocent... and it IS completely innocent. Open your mind, it does wonders.

Well, since CuppaJo decided he'd play Mod God, I will be cancelling my account before my next payment. Thanks for ruining my experience with CoH, new guy. This turns my stomach.

I guess you have no idea how ANNOYING those looping sounds are. I just finally started learning how I can shut them off on MY computer and you start deleting threads on it. How immature and utterly unprofessional.
