Change to the ban system.

Going to go contrary to the general vibe here. But I think perms bans for abuse should be 6month sentences. Or something along those lines. It’s not like permanent bans keep the players away from the game anyways, and being locked out of your main for so long gives you time to reflect on how much it fucking sucks to be a dick.

Also past warnings should be voided if they were given a long time ago (maybe it’s already the case). To cover good behavior.

Just saying that I think that would be healthier.

I agree that at least some bans should be gone after a time of behaving really well but there should still be a perma ban. There are enough bad people in the game that would not change with a simple short term ban. This imo would just tell them that the worst they would get is a bit of a slap to the hand and then they could just go on. (Its not like someone did something for the first time and got perma banned, you did get warnings and short time bans before that which you could use to reflect) Abuse is horrible, no matter in which way its done. And someone that uses vocal abuse that much should not be allowed to play the game. Of course they could buy another account and start again but they would still have to put in alot of work to raise their character again and they could be perma banned with the new one too. This way if someone is doing it all the time there might be a point where they will stop playing the game because creating new accounts all the time would be too expensive. Thus one less abusive person in the game.
