need better rules

The reason XI is good is because they don't do this, no. It's a living world, with villains. Not a nursery for babies.

[Uroah]

Then they need to let all the banned villains come back if there's going to be no enforcement.

[Rinuko]

Imagine if all the players who got banned in the savage dupe came back.

Villiains are people that add spice to the world, and make it feel more like a real living breathing place.

There is a difference between people like that, and people who were banned for obvious game related exploits.

[Cyriack]

theres nothing spicy about bullying another human being.

The most important lesson to learn is that the world does not revolve around you, and just because you want things to be a certain way it doesn't mean everyone else must bow to what you want.

XI is a harsher and much more free world, and people love it for that. It's not a crèche, every other online game is what you want.

Uh, sorry but:

While I have the wisdom and foresight to understand that we live in an imperfect world, we still shouldn't actively encourage "villain" behavior. This isn't a television drama, it's a video game being played by a bunch of human beings, and while the occasional bit of drama can be entertaining, it's not something that should happen deliberately.

I disagree, and this is why I much prefer XI over other games.

XI is fairly unique (maybe Eve is another) in this genre where the players are allowed to be villians more than everywhere else, this allows the world to be more realistic and colorful. XI appeals to an older demographic, which is far less accepting of babying and far less likely to be overly awful.

XIV is a game that has a much different community and so needs more control (even today there is a story about players finding ways to hack the blist system to find all characters on an account so stalk them) and has a playerbase that also very strongly demands protection.

XI is not XIV.

[Alhanelem]

Drama is not part of the game, it's manufactured by the players and it exists everywhere. This is one case where it's not an opinion, it's a fact, as such behavior is potentially against the rules.

Your notion that XIV is a "different game" (Which nobody mentioned prior to this) and therefore needs "more protection is ridiculous and itself appears as an attempt to stir drama.

I can assure you there is just as much, if not way more, drama in that game than there is here You don't even have to play to see it, just check out the forum lol. What makes even less sense is you seem to be aware of this- it doesn't support your argument.

Bad behavior should never be normalized, regardless of the game.
