My goodbye forever rant

[BriarFox]

Ever notice how large companies sometimes just never respond to shit, or just toss out a quick reply and never say anything again? Yeah people are pissed, but it goes away.

I'm not a company PR guy for HoA. If someone starts throwing punches at me or my friends, I'm going to throw some back, and that's really all there is to it. Fortybox and AnOrdim started really digging into HoA around post 150, and if telling them what insane twits they are made things more heated, I am happy to own that.

Instead of pointing at me, you could acknowledge that the real cause of this thread is the PC's prurient interest in the naughty things other people allegedly did. Oh, and the insane people with their wildly unsupported accusations (like I made thousands of dollars off coraesine -- WTF to that).

Even now you are continually posting and I'll continue responding. See how that is?

To be fair, you've never struck me as someone who would throw a punch at anyone. Slap maybe. Eye scratch perhaps.

A punch?

[Parkbandit]

It's a supah sekrit plot. In any case, since people were talking about HoA as a whole (which wasn't really involved), I tried to offer some honest perspective. If you want someone to take a bunch of grief and not give any back, well -- this is the PC.

BriarFox made nothing better with his comments. I'd almost think he was a plant from the rival MHO Foot of the Arkati to discredit HOA.

I was firmly in the "I think Simu might be exaggerating their evidence claim" camp until Briarfox provided that quote, which he is now saying isn't a quote but rather a poor paraphrasing on his part. Someone questioning if it's a bug and then wondering if they'll "fix it" sure sounds like the person in question knew it was a bug, although to be fair Briarfox never said that person in particular was taking advantage of the bug.

What a way to spend an hour of my day while not much is going on at work....read up on all the bitch ass replies back and forth - I'm not sure if I should find this thread humorous or pathetic.

What I gather:

1) Folks did something wrong because of a design (code) mistake


2) Simu reverted items to original enchants and handed out warnings.



3) Folks that got warnings cried because butt hurt and claim stupidity to the enchanting system or they didn't know better defense....



4) Simu laughs on their way to the bank, all the while pointing and laughing harder at the folks that dumped extra money into DR to try and make use of the loophole.


That sums it up, right? Yeah. Good.

Listen, I'm happy to be the Baghdad Bob of the HOA if need-be.

Kidding aside, I don't think we need to beat this dead horse any further. Right now the folks that were warned are either taking their lumps or appealing to the Powers That Be. In my case, I spoke to Wyrom one-on-one last week and am waiting to hear back if there's any additional information. As silly as it may sound, I could care less about the warning (my second in 20+ years) – I care more that the staff (read: Coase) thinks that I'm the type of idiot who would try to GMA krodera. I'm an idiot – as all of us who pay Simutronics truly are – but I'm not a fucking doofus.

Truer words have never been posted on this forum ever.

You won.

Fuck yeah.

I'm retiring to the Bahama's with all the money I made enchanting coraesine. I hear land is cheap there right now!
