I don't have a problem with script checks in general and i think the the policy report is great because it holds the person doing the reporting accountable as well. what I don't like is that gms going after people because they gain too much exp/currency? sure if I got reported you should definitely check me. But because your personal feelings about script hunters/farmers/ or you just don't like that person? how it happen just leaves a bad taste ?

IE

6/19= 500 plus entries
6/20= 550 plus entries
6/21= 700 plus entries
6/22= 490 plus entries
6/23= 800 plus entries
6/24= 400 plus entries
6/25= 500 plus entries
6/26= 499 plus entries
6/27= 699 plus entries
6/28= 425 plus entries
6/29= 777 plus entries
6/30= under 200 wtf( busted) to be fair i would have done about 400 more if i didn't get busted

I think what might have happened was that because 6/30 was when the store already closed and stopped selling the markers, there were probably a lot less people jousting and thus it was easier for the GMs to notice you.

It's like hypothetically speaking if I decide to shoplift at walmart's self-checkout area at noon, when the store is very busy, and there's 15 other customers in the self-checkout, the one stressed out and frazzled associate probably won't notice whatever shenanigans I pull, be it the banana trick, the piggyback, the two-for-one or even the World Inside My Sleeve technique. In this same hypothetical example, If I decide to go shoplifting in the same self-checkout lane at 8:30 in the morning when there's just me and the associate in there, chances are she'll have her eyes on me like a hawk and I won't be able to get away with much. Just a dumb example.

This is so dumb. People pay $$$ to run a stupid event that is highly repetitive and boring after a few times yet the expectation is for people to do this hundreds and even thousands of times.

Stop with the scripting checks during these events. I can't believe Simu expects people to just sit there for hours looking at the same event crap over and over again.

People should boycott DR.

Donquix

07-01-2020, 03:06 PM

I'm only against them for direct pay events where you have a limited number of runs per ticket. You paid money for that number of runs, you shouldn't need to be at the keyboard for them. If they were timed events or competitive, that is another matter.

Or just, don't buy like 10,000 entries to do in a week. I dunno crazy idea.

People get script checked at these events constantly. If anything i'd say OP's spending habits get him checked less than most anyone else running a similar volume. You can try to campaign all you want for pulling the thin veil we have over just buying shit directly from the simu shop but it hasn't been done and you're just asking for it to go afk script when the attention of all the GMs are focused on that one spot. lol

Whether or not paid events should have script checking is a fair argument...

But if you knew that in the current status quo there is script checking at paid events, and you were afk scripting and got caught, why so much outrage at the GM who script checked you? How do you know you were targeted on a personal level? That seems like a big assumption. Maybe they were just doing their job and you were breaking the rules.

I understand you're upset about being script checked and getting in trouble, but you knew it was against the rules and just thought because you spent so much money they'd let you get away with it indefinitely?

I mean if you were afk scripting that for that long and only got caught now, I think they are not doing a very good job upholding their rules (which is another separate argument we could have).

I already said I had no issue with the warning, I didn't understand the extra exp taken & 30 day ban on top. you think i deserve more than the warning you're entitle your opinion. But that is not what policy 18 says?

First Time Violation: Player is moved to the scripting limbo room and acknowledges this policy (POLICY 18). An official warning will be applied, but no other penalties. After an account has been warned once, the first time violation is never revisited.

I mean if they can't understand their own policy , how are they suppose enforce it fairly? Also they think I was warclaidh's bard?

Yeah I ran afoul of the afk scripting policy years ago (I wasn't really afk scripting but that's another story.)

They just sent me to the lounge then immediately sent me back to the game after I responded right away to being moved (since like I said I wasn't really afk scripting.)

I did receive an official warning but no ban or anything. I don't think they even took away any experience or silvers.

They told you that you already had a warning on your account previously...so you were not a first-time offender.

If you sold the character and transferred it to an account that's unrelated to you several years ago, and they went and counted a violation made by said character from last year against you, that would be strange. If that's the case, you might be better off writing about it on the officials or maybe write to feedback.

He already did post on officials Bunny.

And Tsalin, per his post on officials, what you're missing is that the character he was credited as being warned on at EG 2019 hasn't been on his account since like 2017, so that warning shouldn't count against him.

He owned it and said he's fine with a warning but not the unequal enforcement of "policy", but I have a hard time not considering it to be bullshit how sometimes a single GM can choose to selectively decide to weaponize/enforce policy. Most GMs are completely fine, but you'll get one that has some sort of issue you with for some reason and it can become a real issue. There should be some sort of command you can use that adds transparency to this system:

>policy checks
You were last script checked 20 days ago. Here are the last 10 events:
1. You were script checked by GM-Whoever on 03-05-2020 and you responded after 10 seconds
2. You were script checked by GM-Soandso on 03-04-2020 and you failed and were given a warning.
3. You were being monitored by GM-Taterkin on 03-02-2020 for 20 minutes.
3. You get the idea...

Honestly they keep building systems that incentivize afk scripting by having enormously high costs for work/items/services and small payoffs per attempt, so it's also a game design flaw.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the GM is making that "mistake" on purpose so he/she can punish you more severely than warranted.

hey if you say so, conveniently it was the same GM that script checked me on 4/28 which i passed and was told I wasn't reported but I was pointed out by the system .

Simu has all the callousness of a billion dollar corporation while having barely a few thousand customers. I like the hypocrisy of running these events designed purely to convert cash into in game currency through mind numbing repetitive mechanics that have zero actual fun attached to them, while persecuting people for doing that very thing. When people spend tens of thousands on your virtual items, so you can show profit on your quarterly reports, you think they gameplayed into it? No, it's cause some bots somewhere slaved away to convert that currency for them. So either stop this massive P2W or get off your high horse with these random persecutions of people providing you with the very thing you're trying to maintain (profitability).

@Hoy [#mechanics]: when did you guys change policy where you can't do a pay event after a script warning? script check during an pay event is low already when you're charging per entry. especially towards the closing of one where people are just trying to finish their entries. now i can't even finish because of my first warning?
@Hoy [#mechanics]: where does policy say
You have had a recent warning related to this sort of activity, and cannot enter for 30 days.?
First Time Violation: Player is moved to the scripting limbo room and acknowledges this policy (POLICY 18). An official warning will be applied, but no other penalties. After an account has been warned once, the first time violation is never revisited.

I also ask on officials to check the amount of times that yakushi got script checked the last 2 years. also ask on discord how often do you need to get script checked before it is consider harassment. I make a comment every time to make sure there is some type of record. because most of us remember what happen to blueland ( and no that was never me )

A lot of good points brought up here about having to first pay a real life fee on top of our subscriptions to have the luxury of running the same event hundreds or even thousands of times and expected to sit at our computers during this whole time just so we can win some in game currency to spend on items.

Yeah at this point might as well just cut out the middle man and have people just directly buy the in game currency. I mean I doubt anyone is really fooled by Simu in here thinking "Oh we're not buying currency directly, we're just buying tickets to play an in game event and we get currency from the event."

AFK hunting scripters have historically been a pet peeve of mine, especially in the OTF area.

When last I played, do you remember when a merchant (pay event or not) would drop a morphing scroll/list/paper/etc... and the 10 spots or 30 or whatever would fill up in a literal second? Yeah, I had a script for it I wrote after I saw the same 8/10 people on it every time... because they had scripts too.

SIMU allows scripting, even if they say they don't. They just enforce it whenever they feel like it, which is the problem.

Could the fact that so many people (probably) afk script these events to amass a huge amount of BS a probable cause for this hyper inflation? And if they are so rare in catching afk scripters perhaps they really want to make an example out of OP (for right or wrong) in hopes of stemming future scripters to only make the situation worse.

Seems kind of weird to worry about inflation when they can easily control the amount of currency in the system.

People are running them too fast? Make it so one account can only run it once every 15 minutes or whatever. Sure people can just make more accounts I suppose, then link it all to the same payment method. Lots of options.

But they won't do that because they want that money. Money money money money money!

But they are for some reason going to complain that people are converting that money into in game currency too fast. Really is weird.

You're probably right. I imagine they want people to still spend as much money as they can...but while doing it within their policy guidelines. I.e. if you want to stay up and script while staring at your screen for 24 hours...good on you. But they probably are banking on people not being willing to do that. I also wonder how much money the average afk scripter spends at these events vs what they reap in profits and is that the only reason they are afk scripting it (is it a second job?)

It's a hobby for most. I spent almost $30k last DR on simu coins. If the new penalty is a lockout, and a few big farmers get busted, then the whales won't have as much scrip to spend. Personally it reduces the motivation to do anything, I probably won't be doing any pre-orders for next DR if this is how simu wants to be.

I get the whole afk scripting in hunting areas is bad. It can affect other people's game play. Hell, like someone pointed out, even being afk scripting when your characters are in town buying herbs or at the locksmith and script issues happen can be annoying. But seriously, who gives a mother f'ing shit whether the person next to you is afk scripting a repetitive game or whatever pay event task you're doing.

And throwing down a harsh penalty on Neimanz for this has got to be the very definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face. If I were Wyrom reading the PC, which I am sure he does, I'd be reaching out to do everything I could to reverse Neimanz's decision to quit. One would have hoped the GM in question would have had some common sense in this situation regardless of "policy", but as I continually find out every day, commons sense just isn't that common afterall.

It's the only reason. Bots supply the endless scrip for big spenders to like simu's pockets with and simu cracks down on the very system that feeds its boundless greed. It's like stupidity and insanity rolled into one.

The joust from RW was painfully slow. I have no idea how they expect someone to sit and watch that delayed screen scroll for days in a row. The only sane thing to do is to script it or buy the raikhen from someone who was scripting it.

Script checking the events is a lame attempt at restoring integrity to a process they've rendered devoid of any entertainment or feelings of accomplishment. I wish they would do away with the facade and just straight up sell the items for cash and silver instead.

Reply from officials...

GS4-Haxus...

The vast majority of script checks (that result in finding a policy violation) are performed based on automated metrics tools that we have at our disposal that indicate what level of gains of various types that characters get over time (I'm obviously being intentionally vague about how that works). REPORTed and/or POLICY REPORTed script checks are statistically less likely to be the cause of your script check for a number of reasons (and are statistically less likely for us to find a policy violation going on). One is GM availability to drop what they are otherwise doing and perform a script check right that second of the report. Similarly, five minutes later when the GM is free, the allegedly offending player may no longer be engaging in the complained of behavior. Most of the REPORTs and POLICY REPORTs are for treasure/critter poaching or people being highly disruptive with a broken script (running in and out of rooms, etc). Multiple successive reports of any kind about the same person tend to jar even GMs who are absorbed in something else away from what they were doing to see what's going on. But an isolated report in the middle of night might not get seem in the same amount of time.

There are already precautions and checks and balances against the idea of a rogue GM harassing anyone in particular. I'm not trying to say it doesn't happen, or hasn't happened in the past at any rate, but there's still guards against this. (1) You can ask for a referral to address an issue you may have with a GM. (2) If you don't like how that goes, you can ask the answering GM to escalate the issue to the SGMs. (3) If you don't like the decision of the SGM or PM, you can write Feedback. In my time as a GM, I have occasionally seen Feedback overturn the result of a script check if they do not believe it was performed in a procedurally appropriate manner, or for the appropriate reason.

When we script check someone and find them attentive, we have tools in place to ensure that they aren't script checked again in a very short amount of time. But if our tools are highlighting them again the next day due, another GM might script check them, having no functional clue that they were just script checked 24 hours prior for the same (or different) reason, and least not until they later research the account to see how many scripting violations they already have.

I would also like to address the same GMs script-checking the same people over and over again. Let me tell you something that I hope isn't a big news flash: Many GMs don't really like performing script checks. I'll use myself as an example: About the only time you will find me personally script checking you is (1) when I'm responding to a player complaint via REPORT or POLICY REPORT, or (2) You are AFK scripting while in the referral/assist queue and I'm trying to get your attention to answer your referral. I'm not one of the GMs that is eager to go onduty and plow through the list of players that might be AFK scripting. We do, however, have a handful GMs that are willing to go onduty multiple times a week, and plow through those lists (and are often the first ones to jump onduty to perform the REPORTed ones too). They are willing to be the "bad guys" to the players found violating policy in this regard. I thank them for doing this so that I don't personally have to do it myself. But as a result, it's really the same handful of GMs script checking people most days. It's not because they are out to get people, but rather because they are willing to do the unappealing work.

Enforcing POLICY is hard work. I hope I speak for most of the GMs here when I say that nobody is eager to warn people, to consult people and go over policy with them, to lock people out of a game that we all love, etc. If I go a week without having to have a policy discussion with a player, that's a good week! It makes me happy. I don't want to give players experience penalties for AFK scripting, or lock them out for doing it one too many times, but sometimes I just have to. I salute the GMs that give a lot more than that to the effort. Punishment is standardized for AFK scripting based on previous violations over time. Every GM who script checks should be giving the same punishment, assuming they correctly assess the number of prior violations. If someone believes their punishment to be in error, assist and ask for a referral for it to be examined.

Lastly, it's pretty well known that we don't publicly discuss anyone's disciplinary issues. We aren't going to compare two people's situations with one another, or openly discuss an assist, referral, or disciplinary action. This stuff needs to be addressed through Assists, Referrals, and Feedback. POLICY REPORT is a brand new mechanic, and has only tallied such reports in the last month or so. There's no historical data to give there. We also are incapable of telling players how many times someone has used the standard REPORT tool to report someone else. It's just not how the REPORT verb works.

I hope some of this information was useful.

Yes, I would say so, as we are paying for text, some more than others. GS4's revenue stream appears to now greatly depend on a few big fish that spend a lot of $$$ on upsells (http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?123623-What-will-Simu-do-without-the-whales), rather than the old model of trying to boost subscription numbers. Should Simu have looked the other way, selectively applying POLICY 18 so as to not jeopardize business with such a big customer? That's a business decision, likely decided by someone not considering such things, and certainly moot now.

I'm the first one to admit I don't ever go to pay events but I definitely enjoy the things they bring into the game (hello sigil staff!). I AM curious though how the first DR prices for items were compared to these last few? I believe I've read a few times that things have gone up to really extreme prices (not the straight auction but just general items sold off the merchant shelves).

Could the fact that so many people (probably) afk script these events to amass a huge amount of BS a probable cause for this hyper inflation? And if they are so rare in catching afk scripters perhaps they really want to make an example out of OP (for right or wrong) in hopes of stemming future scripters to only make the situation worse.

Prices were CONSIDERABLY lower the first couple DRs. 6x enchant/6x accuity rot flaring T4 nervestaves were 50k or whatever. Bloodscrip generation was also considerably lower, but even accounting for that lol. Not even simu expected people to dump tens of thousands of dollars and 2 solid weeks of their life to that shit twice a year. Clearly they do now and it's our fault.

Reminds me of that one guy they chased away, I forget his name on the forums, he has a cat avatar I think.

It was back when Solomon was still the PM and they were doing some big event that you had to buy tickets to and there were only a limited number of tickets. The guy bought like 7 tickets or some shit because he had multiple accounts and Solomon claimed he was cheating to buy the tickets by using a script or some shit so he removed all of the tickets and made some post about how he was disappointed by all of the "cheating" going on or whatever.

This dude was spending some serious cash on this game and he quit right then and there, pretty sure he has never looked back. All because he bought tickets to an event? So weird.

He bought a disproportionate amount of tickets within, according to wyrom, basically milliseconds of the portal opening if i recall. i can't remember if he got a policy violation for that or was just pissed he had to return the tickets. He also used all his accounts sucking up all the services at stuff to trick out a bunch of fucking bastard swords (i guess to pass around to his like 37 alts? i dunno)

Because it's silly the onus is always on the paying customer to deal with this nonsense, given how the queue system works especially.

That is 100% one of the most infuriating things with simu. Like holy shit weeks on end in the queue because your scripted lederhosen has a typo but only GM Zangief or what the fuck ever knows the script and he's on duty 26 minutes a week between 3 and 5 am on tuesdays. Ridiculous.

I get that it's hard, the amount of customization in gemstone is clearly well beyond what most other games have but there's just too many silos over there.

Pretty sure this was back in the Solomon days because I vaguely remember the post and it was very dickish in tone, also known as very Solomonish.

Regardless I think Kitsun was mostly upset at the post and not the fact that he had to return the tickets. It basically placed all of the blame on Kitsun on others for "abusing" the system rather than admitting they implemented a very shitty system and they would try again with a better system.

Like everyone knew it was going to be a clusterfuck when the tickets went on sale, the GMs could have handled this with some sort of raffle in game; raffle out a ticket then that person has the privilege of paying 100 dollars or whatever it was to buy a ticket.

They did just that, in the final run.

So, from Haxus, it doesn't appear personal and hopefully the Hoy realizes this (he's already admitted fault and taken responsibility for that so I see this as more of a misunderstanding as to the script check source). I'd definitely escalate to verify the other warning and remove the event ban.

It is pretty pathetic watching them try to pretend there's any integrity left in this colossal cash grab. Really? You didn't want events like DR to be script farmed? How else are the whales supposed to spend tens of thousands of dollars on your game? But we must maintain the illusion that our target audience are normal players who just play the game and keep that playing field level!

DR was a Pandora's Box Simu can't close now. They began selling high end gear for $, so then they had to (finally, and about time imo) address permanent item loss via disarm/itchy curse/etc, and they also now have to deal with the fact that any changes to the game that potentially de-value items people paid $$$ for (archery, permabless, thrown, whatever) will now face huge pushback from the people who paid that money. On top of that, as you say, they try to maintain the illusion of game integrity while pricing items at a level that nobody who doesn't farm/pay farmers for BS can attain. That last one is a self-perpetuating cycle. People chose to farm because of course they do, so they raise prices, and now nobody except farmers can afford the really good shit.

Gemstone 4 isn't a cheap game. Its microtransactions are really expensive compared to every other game I've played. Years ago, I once complained about the $50 cost of an EG ticket and how it was annoying that I still had to compete with other players for a chance to get anything worthwhile. I was told by another player that $50 is an "investment" and I need to spend more than that if I want the top quality stuff. To me, $50 is a lot of money. I can buy several new video games with that sort of cash. Yet, in Gemstone 4, it is barely the cover charge for one "casino" and the super whales are willing to spend thousands of dollar at each paid event. I can't compete with that.

Its also clear that the paid item event prices are made with the super whales in mind. No normal player can possibly get that much currency in a single event. The worst part is that they keep moving the goal post. I go to DR and EG each year and earn Bloodscript and Shells but the stuff I want to keeps increasing in price every year too. I have a lot of each currency but not nearly enough to get the high end stuff I need. I don't really see the point in earning currency I can't spend. I can't sell it either because I redeemed it.

They really are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They pretty much need the super whales to keep the game running but they are starting to alienate the rest of the player base to keep the super whales spending.

There are a lot of problems associated with the "farm till you drop at 98 cents per lever pull" business plan.

1. It flies in the face of the concept of a high subscription price. Why am I paying for premium when the relative value of what I'm getting is shrinking? A premium subscription to GS costs much more than pretty much any other gaming subscription price.

2. In a world where value is determined by arbitrarily created scarcity that can be manipulated on a whim, charging a fortune for something that won't hold its value is a pretty precarious business model. It seems an unreasonable expectation, that your customers will keep paying a high price for items that are worth a fraction of the purchase price the next day. Some will, but that number is going to dwindle, and a critical mass is required that will be hard to maintain. When it's clear that those controlling the levers of value are quite willing to exploit the customer's desires to make a quick sale that drives off the lot at half the price, how many are going to keep buying?

3. Time. This shit is boring as hell, and I don't know how anyone can do it at the volume some of you manage to pull off. I'd much rather go back to the day of events with a high entry price and none of this RNG for hours crap, because that's what it is, crap. And I'm too old for that shit.

What they should do, if they actually cared to incentivize alternative forms of participation besides AFK scripting is make it so you can do "Super Runs" or whatever and spend N tickets and get N * Reward with a cooldown of N * Usual Time to Completion.

Currently there are 3 viable options:
1. Spend a lot of time doing the same shit over and over instead of warcamping or whatever you actually like to do, so you can get your vorpal sword.
2. "not AFK" script that time while you watch Netflix or whatever
3. Pay someone else for their time to "not AFK" script farm using their fleet of 10 different accounts they spun up.

It's silly and I agree with all sentiments here, it's grown rather problematic.

Simu probably knows if they remove the thin veneer of using alt currencies as an intermediary between dollars and high-end items, the illusion of this being a game will finally be gone for good. And all us idiots (me included) who are spending real money on items in a text game will wake up and realize how fucking stupid we've been. We can only hope...

Using the intermediary gives them a bit more cover in terms if liability also. There is a weird thing where they won't call bloodscrip/ravioli/seashells (lol) dollars, but they god damn know not to push that either.

A player says "this is selling stuff for cash"
wyrom "no no no, it's just you paid for access to a fun event and you got an in game reward with it!"

There's no judgment here, and I'm sorry you got script checked. That sucks. I also want to point out that we all know the rules and that AFK scripting isn't allowed. I totally understand the urge to AFK script repetitive paid events -- I think they're boring as hell, too. But, I think the better solution is to push for them to make the events less repetitive cash-grab feeling and more engaging and fun, rather than to allow AFK scripting them.

If I'm not mistaken, I was always (or at least since Wyrom's been running the show) under the impression that unless a player actually reports someone, GMs shouldn't be script checking people.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of old GMs have come back this year though, of which at least some are probably still stuck in GS3 and/or are some purist asshole who suffers from some form of chronic butthurt or got killed by Neimanz on the boulder in 1999 or something.

I was pre-Wyrom, but there was script checking of non-reported people too. It is extremely obvious when someone is using bigshot, or really any lich script, to hunt.

A regular command would look like "kill rat" or whatever creature, lich puts in the numerical ID, so you'd see something like "kill 34523452" or whatever. We did have GMs that would watch people obviously using lich scripts and they'd send them little checks every so often.

If I'm not mistaken, I was always (or at least since Wyrom's been running the show) under the impression that unless a player actually reports someone, GMs shouldn't be script checking people.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of old GMs have come back this year though, of which at least some are probably still stuck in GS3 and/or are some purist asshole who suffers from some form of chronic butthurt or got killed by Neimanz on the boulder in 1999 or something.

The GM post from the officials earlier in this thread explains how they use metrics to determine who to script check more than any other information source. In other words, someone wrote a script to check for likely afk scripting.

Personally I don't understand what is fun about playing a game without actually playing the game. On the other hand I hate the RNG events. They suck balls. I'd rather pay a $200 entry fee to go to an event, than be asked to waste hours on end pulling a lever.

why should I get warning, 30 day event lockout and exp taken for first violation & player B on violation 2/whatever gets the same type of warning, nothing else & be told hey you won a super jackpot while you afk scripting, I wrap it nicely and put it in your backpack.

Because the GM that was fucking with you is a retarded sack of assholes. Make Wyrom aware of it and he'll probably fix it. He's usually pretty good about putting out fires that dipshit GMs cause with their incompetence and/or butthurt.

GS4-Haxus...

Haxus' PC abused his GM powers to T5 his own coraesine weapon to infinitely loop berserk during DR to farm bloodscrip more efficiently, so it's all a fucking joke.

Edit: I'm tired of fucking playing this bullshit where Simu makes backroom deals with players instead of fixing actual problems.

edit 2: Helsfeld received a bloodscrip compensation to keep quiet about enchanting his coraesine, and the rest of us got warnings.

He literally used his GM powers to cheat in game and he's still a GM?

Do GMs have the best union in the world or what?

Don't they literally hand out bans for people abusing bugs to gain an advantage?

I really don't think Haxus' is to blame personal, he's a product of the sytem, but these GMs giving warning to people scripting P2W systems are a joke. I'm just tired of the backroom deals that happens when you report this nonsense.

edit:

when I reported it Wyrom told me "a weapon had made it out of a testing instance" as if any of us actually believe this.

You were one of the instigators of the failed safespace forum. I'm not surprised you're now trying to help shift control back to simu for lnet/lich. You have an axe to grind.

With a dev team that actually does things now, shifting more and more of lich features to Simu control is a given. As you mention, Tillmen mitigated the situation but that isn't stopping someone like Naijin from further demonizing lich. He has every incentive now to do so and Wyrom has $ signs in his eyes.

Lulz. I have no love for "Simu". I do love this community, and love to see how it has changed, and where possible jump in to help improve it with my own expertise. Going forward I am no longer willing to accept the status quo, take that for what you will.

449:A shaft of scintillating light suddenly pierces the ceiling and strikes the ground next to you. The beam of light then explodes in a shower of sparks and Haxus is standing in its place.
450:Haxus says, "Hello Ondreian. You appear to have been stuck here at SGM Coase's request. I'm going to follow his instructions and then let you go."
458:Also here: GameMaster Haxus
461:You see GameMaster Haxus the Swamp Pirate.
465:He is wearing a gold chain suspending a faintly glowing deathstone, a small bone periapt, some impervious pirate armor, a dark-buckled viridian wrist sheath, a gigantic plunder sack containing the handiwork of Haxus, a leather sheath, some dark silver-buttoned breeches, some enruned suede socks, and some black thigh-high wading boots.
466:Haxus says, "Just making sure nobody else had first. Don't want you double dinged with anything."
473:Haxus says, "Please feel free to contact Wyrom for the chat that he invited everyone affected by this to have with him, if you haven't already."
478:Haxus says, "I'm sure you've seen SGM Coase's forum post about it, so I'm not about to lecture you or insult your intelligence. You have a good evening."

I actually play the game and was script checked everyday for about 2 weeks recently, I had some really unpleasant things done to my characters. I have an idea who is responsible because it was definately a human being really quite nasty. That being said I've been left alone to play the game for the past week.

There are a lot of problems associated with the "farm till you drop at 98 cents per lever pull" business plan.

1. It flies in the face of the concept of a high subscription price. Why am I paying for premium when the relative value of what I'm getting is shrinking? A premium subscription to GS costs much more than pretty much any other gaming subscription price.

2. In a world where value is determined by arbitrarily created scarcity that can be manipulated on a whim, charging a fortune for something that won't hold its value is a pretty precarious business model. It seems an unreasonable expectation, that your customers will keep paying a high price for items that are worth a fraction of the purchase price the next day. Some will, but that number is going to dwindle, and a critical mass is required that will be hard to maintain. When it's clear that those controlling the levers of value are quite willing to exploit the customer's desires to make a quick sale that drives off the lot at half the price, how many are going to keep buying?

3. Time. This shit is boring as hell, and I don't know how anyone can do it at the volume some of you manage to pull off. I'd much rather go back to the day of events with a high entry price and none of this RNG for hours crap, because that's what it is, crap. And I'm too old for that shit.

This is correct.

Adding a note for Neimanz: I think you're entertaining, and would prefer you stick around. I get it if you really want to bail, but want you to know that I'd prefer that you didn't.

You've also always been straight with me when we've made deals, and I appreciate that.

This is also correct.

Examples of nonfunctional customization choices: shapes, anything that is not an adjective, anything lengthy enough to require a comma for grammatical purposes
Try to keep it to three words or less, and if three words, see prior rules. ('silver and gold' works, 'red, blue, and green' does not because of sentence structures, 'incandescent viridian and gold-speckled cerulean' is long enough to be cumbersome)
When in doubt, use a distinct color.

The random runes that are displayed when the crosier is spun can also be customized to any list of words.

The current setting is: luck,sunburst,celestial,forest,glacier,will-o-wisp,fire,water,earth,air,lorae'tyr,shien'tyr,grik 'tyr

From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the harness is as a wearable container of some kind with a maximum interior capacity of sixty pounds with room for any number of items, where each item can weigh up to 2 pounds. Also, it seems to have some sort of enhancive properties.
It provides a boost of 3 to Strength Base.
It provides a boost of 4 to Stamina Recovery.
