Banned For Making Too Much Silver

[Methais]

Eh... I don't buy that argument. However many people are doing something should have nothing to do with whether it's against policy or not. They seem be throwing accusations hoping something would stick to justify what they elected to do. Going over 35m is a particularly odd one, are we supposed to hire accountants? I couldn't even begin to guess how much silvers I earn per month.

I didn't make it through that whoel email post, but so far this is my favorite part:

You had been pulling out more silver from Reim than what was actually possible, but when they switched Reim over to be loot capped, you continued to go behind the cap. You were also summoning the royals multiple times, which was a bug and was stated as such by GM Retser. No punishments were pushed through until after April 3rd, when you continued doing everything. It is the players responsibility to keep up on all announcements.

On paper, sure. But where was this announced other than as a needle in a Discord haystack?

People shouldn't have to use out of game means to find out what's going on in game, especially when they use a 3rd party program for all of their communications that requires you to link your account to.

The game literally has a NEWS verb for announcements. Let's see how that's looking:

No clue why the hell it isn't mandatory to post announcements in general as an in game NEWS item, but deciding that players have to link their account to Discord and stay glued to it 24/7 in order to keep up with what's going on is stupid as fuck. Which is typical Simu behavior, but still.


EDIT: What the fuck is cycling in REIM? I've never run the place and don't know much of anything about it other than it exists.

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind. I now know what cycling is in REIM.
