I was wrong.

For those unaware, in CO there's an auto chat banning system where if you are petitioned more than X number of times by other players, the game will auto silence you from chat. I think from *all* chat. For a long time. It was meant to allow players to self-police RMT sellers.

Which in and of itself is prone to abuse, but that abuse can lead to your own account being banned if you do it too much.

And then they went F2P.

Remember all the debates we had here about how important it was to be careful about what free players could do, what premium players (who didn't sub but bought something at least once) could do, and what VIP subs could do? In CO, F2P players can petition towards auto-banning.

The rest is left as an exercise for the reader. PS: I have eight F2P City of Heroes accounts.

I don't know if its legal to talk about this but (and I forget where I read this- either the PvPEC boards or the PvPEC GP site). Part of the issue with the T-shirts for U2BG was that people were requesting XS or 4XL t-shirts which Paragon Studios (idk if they were called that back then) didn't even have access too. I don't know what ended up happening but I'm sure communications broke down.

The champion league, Bud told me (while we were still both on Sporks) that he was pulling all the prizes and telling paragon studios that he didn't want any swag for the event. That is why if you look at the rules now on the GP site there is no mention of prizes nor were any of those "full sets of pvp Ios" given to team captains after the 2nd week.

When I talk about lack of support I'm talking about when I was leading PvPEC and was told "no we can't get you any swag". We then went almost 4 months with no communication with that rep, we couldn't add anyone to the hidden PvPEC forums nor remove people who had left/quit. The fustration was tremendous, and I was personally funding all the events with my own "swag", this actually was a common practice for PvPEC, the leader prior to myself would actually buy time cards or DVD box sets and offer them as prizes, because there was a lack of support from the devs at that time.

So to go from that to what we have now, where I could talk to Avatea or Z and get 20 codes with no issues is amazing. For Kat to get the, idk, 30+ codes he got is unheard of.

Mea culpa.

I don't dodge around an issue I've got an easy solution for. If I don't notice something, that's different than being evasive.

Please don't expect answers to questions asked on other forums about official game matters. I focus my primary attention to the official forums.

I was thinking 1v1, 2v2 and 8v8. Have each server hold one of these, and then have the server champs battle it out with each other.

i remember a few years ago that this was held as a 1v1 event, but since there are no more PvPReps, these events are not being planned.
If needed, i can volunteer as one of the helpers.

The fact that CS is pretty darn helpful and willing to go the extra mile meant that so far out of the real big issues i had, only a few made it to the final stage tells me a lot. And one made even the best of GM's heads spin, and did their best trying to help me. Spending a few hours with me in game going over all my stats, writing said stats down and making sure that QA would know what to look for, means that they care. It wasn't something they could fix, like fixing 'Sending Tells'.

Zwill isn't Quality Assurance, nor is he a Customer Support Rep who can look at your issue and help out. He'll do the best he can, but do not blame him for something he can not help that you yourself should have been fighting for since you 1st encountered this issue.will is a great Community Rep, the bridge between the players and the Devs, the one who actually made it easier to see what is going on with the team.

When people try to talk to Zwillinger about this he just dodges the the issue entirely.
Hell there are people in u2bg who still havent received their t-shirts and other stuff they were promised for winning.
What happened to the stuff promised for the Champion pvp league? I mean i can understand not wanting to be associated to anything with Budweiser involved but still.

But what the hell?

But no.. they like to team gank you and then "scream" obscenities. I gave up on pvp about a year or so ago when it became apparent the civility and maturity was never going to rebound to a decent level. So while many pvpers love to blame Castle/Issue 13 for the decline of pvp...they may also want to look at their "community" for being as pleasant as a venereal disease. Just saying....
