This entire issue is why many thought an EA this early in testing with no character wipe is "bold" to say the least.

There are tons of exploits; World, Currency, character...

None of this even touches on client based exploits and hacking that are present in every unity game.

We’ve had Trent close petitions saying ‘stop bothering me’ . We would repetition again the next day, and a different GM would actually answer and take care of the problem. The guy is moody and totally unprofessional. He is not long for this job. Sucks he took one of us down with him.

I don't know anything about the guy other than the few posts I've read and I already dislike him, immensely. Dude strikes me as a stereotypical soy-creature Reddit mod.


Also, just learned that the Slippy guy I mentioned earlier (banned for the same thing) got his ban reduced to a 3-day suspension. I don't know the details of what he did other than he stated he gathered them for about 4 hours.

I can't find it now but there was a thread on the subreddit bitching about Trent last night. Person and 2 family members are cancelling because of Trent.

some people dont know they are pugged until unpugged, god complex is awesome until your just some dude behind a keyboard.

there are enough closet mnm readers that take q from this forum. did we shoot anything down except for the funny pantheons gifs? no. ea was still supportive and fun for pantheon while it lasted.

but foh is diverse enough to share the joy. So dont undersell foh, thread carefully these guys.

Unbanned.

It was downgraded to a suspension. I guess it was "time served" because I am able to log in.
As long as you learned your lesson. If you ever get lucky and get 2 magic fronds in a row, best to delete the second one just to be safe.

I know trent and the gm's were annoyed enough to send server messages that people petition them to complain basically a lot instead of like actionable things. between the workload and lack of pay in beta it did seem they were acting less than professional.

game is still EA, a paying EA. mistakes do happen and more so on the dev side cause we are fucking paying to still test out shit.
So yeh I feel you but for this matter I would rather just let the game go. There are always better things to come elsewhere.
This is a good point. It's not 1999 anymore. Grabbit's probably got a backlog of 100 games to play. Like Kirun pointed out, they're developing this like it's 27 years ago, not realizing that the entire gaming market has changed dramatically.

They're going to be their own undoing. They could've had a little gem of a game if they weren't so locked in on retarded decisions and solely listening to the peanut gallery in Discord.

Hey look doomers found a seam to come back and doom some more. CS guy went too hard and treats customers poorly. If you've ever been around a help desk or CS in general you know how common this is, users are idiots blah blah blah. Maybe that GM needs to go, maybe he'll get his leash yanked.

For a game like this I think it's correct to police things tightly, with correct punishments which is not a perma ban for picking flowers, and the idea that they need to moderate their little pool by a different standard because there are other games to play is silly.

I don't agree with a lot of their decisions recently but there is nothing wrong with handing out suspensions for exploring a bug.

It sounds like they recognized they made a mistake and reversed it, so that speaks well for them.

Step 1: Pay for the "privilege" of being a glorified beta tester, except you're paying them for early access to an unfinished game instead of the other way around.

Step 2: Get banned for violating some vaguely defined rule that apparently leaves plenty of room for interpretation, then get treated like shit by their customer support when you try to address it.

Step 3: Actually give a shit about any of this, despite the company having already demonstrated exactly how it operates and the caliber of people it employs.

Step 4: Get unbanned, learn absolutely nothing from the experience, and go right back to giving the same company your money to test its unfinished game while being treated like an inconvenience for the privilege.

Step 5: Go online and scream, "GUYS! WHY DOES GAMING SUCK THESE DAYS?!"

Just FoH things. Maybe stop rewarding companies for treating their paying customers like shit? Just a thought.

They wanted friction, and friction will cause a ton of petitions. They shouldn't be surprised. It's the nature of the beast. There are mechanics you can put in the game to alleviate petitionquest, and they chose to not put them in the game.

I had a fairly lengthy conversation with Shawn in Discord and told him that Trent was widely disliked and was behaving unprofessionally in some situations. He responded with basically what amounted to "screenshots or stfu."
