Nyzul Isle Assault Bug

[Karbuncle]

Nope. The exact same thing was said before the Salvage bannings back in the day. Game is STILL here and humorously ppl didn't take anything away from what happened last time.

I don't believe so entirely, What was said before the Salvage bans was something along the lines of "If they ban us, All the best players will be gone, and No one will ever figure anything out in the future". I don't think anyone expected the game to die... Right now though, It would suck for a lot of people. Either way, Their arrogance was pretty hilarious, "They won't ban us, Its game mechanics" and so forth... Acting like no one would figure anything out with them gone... That's not so much the case this time around... It would be more about people looking at their friend list and seeing it half empty, and becoming bored... causing a cascade effect.

I can safely say one of the top 3 causes of players leaving is their friends are no longer playing, Wiping a good chunk of peoples friends of the list will cause them to lose the drive to play.

It won't kill the game for sure, But it would definitely be a body blow to it. I know I'd be quite upset if i logged in missing half of my Friendslists or LS... I'd probably end up quitting. Last time i quit I just had money problems, and it seemed like a good time to go, If i logged on and had no one to talk too, I'd never look back.

Not picking at you Karbuncle by any means, just using this because its almost word for word what i recently heard ingame. And that conversation was a carbon copy of one i heard back in '08 right before the bannings.

Well then whoever said that is tarded :P.

As far as people being banned coming back, With Salvage bans, Games was still technically... newer, PLayers didnt mind starting over, Someone who was banned from this was banned... well... from this, I'd like to think they'd probably take the time to walk away, unless they're hopeless addicted which, I'm not discounting.

As a Disclaimer, I will say, I'm not picking on you either there. But i will say this, As far as just not going for the 'Shinies', Unfortunately thats hard for a lot of people. No one would deny MMO's at their core are games designed around 2 things.

1) Talking to people
2) Shinies.

We can't all use the game as an expensive Skype with Avatars, A lot of players play only for the Shinies, asking them to ignore the Shinies because the event is basically asking them to quit the game. The problem isn't entirely in people using these methods, Its in the fact SE Designed an event so rediculous that people felt the only hope of winning was in using these methods.

I will admit, I gave serious consideration to these methods, But I ultimately never did it because well, I was not playing at the time, But i shudder to think what may have been If i was active during the influx. I personally don't think I've of resorted to cheats, But i do know I will not fault those who did.

This is in regards to Lamp Dat swapping of course.
