I just don’t think that they think that I’m either recording or clipping
hm now that i think about it they may be farming kai while being afk? anyone who gets in the way is just an unfortunate victim, probably how bounty board got to the billions
Not this one because I was at Silverhold earlier while they were in the server. Kai was fine the whole time.
dude it was so unreal… it was literally 10 minutes after the unban he caught a fucking sunken i was so shocked oml

hmm weird maybe they’re switching bounty targets? or farming a different boss then switched to kai to get his drop, my assumption was that as an exploiter you can just afk underneath silverhold and kill every npc inside for an insane amount of cash
I don’t have many things to say, but just like that le funny quote from that Spiderman movie “With great power comes great responsibility”
and you as a mod will there will always be people shit on you, or issues that are out of control.
that still doesn’t excuse you must have an intern just to get unbanned.
bluemin hi i missed you dude i was the only person posting blender stuff on the forums for a little while glad you came back for AO 
yeah i think if you sign up to be a mod you have to accept the fact your gonna deal with annoying people,
but currently the system is fucked because 99% of mods just care about getting through tickets as fast as possible even if it means closing tickets on innocent people just to fill their shitty ticket quota 
it’s not their fault but it’s a side effect of the quota system, innocent people can’t even get unbanned with the current system? like tap did nothing wrong but he just got ignored again and again to the point where he needed to ask his mod friend to get the other mod’s shit together

Sup dude! glad to see some memorable faces after long hiatus I took!
And yeah, when you sign up as a mod, you will no matter what will met people you hate and annoying, but that doesn’t mean to abuse your power as mod or disregard your responsibility.
I also felt these mods is like the Inspector from Papers, Please. shit job and so many things that shit on you

yes definitely, i agree, but luckily (from what i’ve seen, feel free to disagree) it seems the mods don’t have malicious intentions, they’re seemingly just rushing to complete tickets for their ‘‘mod points’’
their incompetence is definitely an issue but i do not think any of them are acting this way and closing people’s innocent tickets on purpose, the innocent people’s tickets being closed is a byproduct of said quota based system
i think what it boils down to is mods currently have the mindset that every single person who appeals isn’t worthy of said appeal, they go into every single ticket with the mindset that your already guilty of whatever you got banned for, and they just look for the way that closes the ticket the fastest
for example, the guy tap had to deal with assumed he was guilty and that there was ‘‘evidence’’ that proved said guilt, however even after tap begged and poked and prodded he never ONCE checked said evidence until a different mod told him to, if he had given tap the benefit of the doubt once this would have never happened

i feel having 1000+ hours from wom is a good enough reason to double check someone’s ban
i did not fucking beg, poke, or prod like i was asking for mommy milkers
i asked for it just once
Apparently execution farming is still happening
these guys are going at it for an hour already
ik i said i wasnt gonna reply but i wanna expand on this point
“not fitting in” should not be a criteria to fail mod apps—-a mod team should have a diverse group of people all intending to help out the community.
“not fitting in” is ostracizing while “someone had a better application” provides a good reason to why he was denied (and imo softer than “not fitting in”)
if all mods had to “fit in”, it promotes a single minded homogenous group that are sheep (which is why the deepwoken mod team is so ass b/c 90% of them are the same corrupt mods from rl and 5% are sheep and the other rare 5% are goated mods), differing viewpoints and outliers should be a part of any mod group b/c different opinions are valuable when open-minded
for example, in this post, mod 3 wanted to see the evidence for the ban unlike the other 2 mods, which could have been a factor to the unban
also i agree w/ the idea that mods should be more stringent when reviewing appeals of players w/ high play times, people are most likely not going to pull out synapse after 90+ hours of playing fairly

why does AO not have an anti cheat??? people can literally teleport to the other side of the map, but not get banned.
god, when bounty resets for the love of god make the bounty actually a thing to be afraid of. the bounty system is just flawed as all hell when the most dogshit people that ever played the game are on the 5 places.

Bro 
mhm i think the middle ground would be treating people who do have more hours with less of the ‘‘your guilty because i’m trying to close this ticket asap’’ kind of mindset,
however i’m honestly not sure where we can draw the line on the amount of hours? someone in our disc also mentioned that their stats have to look normal, eg if it’s someone with a million items picked up and a arcane oddibillion chests open and zero in every other stat you can pretty clearly tell that they’re exploiting,
but compared to tap who had 1000+ hours on a single file, really feel like he shouldn’t have been glossed over the way he was by those mods (i feel frustrated just reading those messages)

it has some kind of anti cheat evidenced by people getting hit from bs automatic bans but it seems once and exploiter gets banned on one account they immediately figure out a workaround and the anticheat becomes a paper shield v a mike tyson gut punch lol
as far as i know vetex is still mostly solo devving but atp i think hiring someone else to help with security could be beneficial
