This is the classic case of "If you owe the bank $100, it's your problem. There's really only two solutions: Reset ALL PvP in World of Warcraft, or shut it ALL down until gameplay can be rebalanced. They're still looking, but it now appears that this is a problem even an order of magnitude or two above the Salvage bans of 2009, which basically exposed FFXI for what it really was, and set the table for the company to transition to FFXIV. That's 1-2% of the 10 million subscribers WoW has, and, PvP being the sole raison d'etre for a lot of these immature shitheads to play WoW, I would have to think we can add at least that number to the two million or so subscriptions which have fled WoW in the last few months.īasically, it appears as if the entire PvP metagame (and if it's not all of it, it's a large, large fraction!!!) was based around the bot HonorBuddy, which allows players to farm honor in PvP play without actually committing to PvP. Various reports put the number at somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 banned characters (or is it accounts?). because that number is SIX FIGURES of six-month suspensions.
#Ffxi rhapsodies of vanadiel ever forward download#
Only being put here because it's so similar to a lot of my Final Fantasy XI rants (and what's with the damn download times on the update, even BEFORE the free login period begins, SE?).īig news in the gaming community this week that Blizzard banned a number of users for using bots in World of Warcraft PvP competition. PS: He suggested that, next time, I report you for harassment. You know, if I wanted that, I'd post on Bluegartr.ĭo me a favor - you think I suck shit that badly, you and your buddy kick me.īut you'll lose the person single-handedly responsible for bringing me on XIV once he takes the 30-minute penalty too. Arg finally has to break it up (after he, as the only DPS the tank and healer ever gave a damn about, much less two), and the healer says Arg was the only one doing anything, with far lesser gear than mine. By this point, I know the jackass ain't gonna raise me, so it's on from here.I tell him to shove it, he lets me die when the Cankerous Goblet decides to hold me in place. I get heat for using the limit break to finish off the DPS check before we die to it (mainly because healer and tank cannot be arsed to break everybody out of their pudding). Yep, full-scale Bluegartr reject, whether he's actually BG or not. Final boss, and I'm getting heat for sucking.Mental note made, I also make the note in my FC chat, which Arg is in as well. Nothing much a problem here, except the dickhead decides, out of very much nowhere, to /slap me. The Swiftcast Raise FINALLY comes, but basically too late. So, Douchenozzle Healer decides to /pray, /pray, /pray some more, and eat about 2/3 of his life when he gets AoE'd because he's too interested trying to figure out whether he wants to dismember my corpse or have sex with it. The third time around, I get the draw for the lightning, and do not make it back to the statue in time.
My friend Arg came with me to farm tomes.īasically, the main mental midget was the healer. I think I've seen two people in Duty Finder parties now who recognize me from my rants on here and on XI.įirst one was harmless: Drew Ultros on my Trials Roulette and the guy asked, recognized me, told me to keep it civil, we did.Ĭouple of nights ago, drew Amdapor Keep (Hard) for my Expert/Alexandrite run.
