BA elitist groups monopolising primal

[tykeisha]

EUREKA BA - on Primal we have a serious issue that is causing a massive amount of friction across the different servers.
an group has set itself up to server primal for the new eureka raid and is controlling the access to this raid which is impacting many players .

As unless you join their group and sign up to their terms which include have questions set before being allocated a raid then its becoming virtually impossible for players on primal to experience the new raid.
myself and some other cross server people are gathering and assisting players both in party finder and in the instances to get groups however last night all instances we closed to any parties for more than 2 hours. this continues now into a 2nd weekend.
the attitude in the instances form these 'players' towards other is so rude and elitist .


I find it so frustrating that we are now being blackmailed and intimidated by these people I so wish something could be done .

maybe more instances or the ability to set up raid parties in pf would be good.

So let me get this straight, a group on Primal has managed to monopolise an instance to a point in which you must sign their terms and conditions otherwise you cannot enter? The have essentially created their own ToS and are blocking those who don't sign it from entering the instance?

Holy moly, this sounds insane. If what OP is saying is true this has got to be against some rule. There is no way that it's okay to hold content hostage unless you sign a player created ToS.

Without question. If true, and if I am understanding correctly, every single one of those players that are holding this content hostage are violating the ToS. obstruction, discrimination, exploitation, take your pick. You can set standards or a kind of personal ToS in PF so long as it doesn't conflict with the game's ToS.

If what is being explained here is true (and I am a touch skeptical but lets say it is true), they are griefing and can be suspended/banned for it. You cant abuse the game in such a fashion that prevents other people from participating in public content by artificially gating it yourself. Youre gonna have to keep pushing out reports to the GM to take action. Wont solve anything in the immediate but itll likely get them banned eventually.

BA was another half-assed piece of content. Instead of doing this open instance shit they should've just locked the trial/raid behind the finished Eureka story and let you queue for it like everything else. Would've made 0 difference.

I suggest start taking screenshots and email it to SE support about harrasment in game.
Convince others to do it and they will likely get told off or banned very fast.

If what is being said true i have no way to find out easily so its word of mouth here so if true,

My advice: Do not stand for it do not let anyone on any server stand for it get as many people in the primal community to report them get their rumps banned if that is what it takes its pure harassment for no valid reason

[tykeisha]

there would not be this discontent amongst players if there was a better load balancer on the servers and that more instances can be made available

basically the main issue is that there are not enough servers for the raid demands, raids by this area are being run in parallel .

They don't accept screenshots as they can be easily manipulated, plus they already have their own type of logs to find any ToS violations the players being reported are accused of anyways.

Sounds exactly like something a few groups would do, just because of their loot greed.
