    we're only gonna give so much effort to an issue before trolls make it pointless

    i could even venture that many of the trolls on the dk pulling thread were dk chain pulling exploiters that wanted the thread closed intentionally due to the reaction to them in thatthread

    could be for the same reason that trolls did the same to the oil exploit *cough* cheesy gameplay thread yesterday that can be seen at:

    I would actually personally laugh at every DK I know that's done this, just like I laughed at the vamp exploiters when they ran into a raid after the patch and died (and likely bug reported) and when the caltrop exploiters were still laying down carpets of caltrops after the fix dying (and also likely bug reported).

    So, you saw that our guild was trolled out in that thread to, eh? Its actually quite ironic being as we have strict policies against exploiting and being the same ones trolling us in that thread were in our guild and knew the insta-kick policy we had in place. The irony comes in that those same guys you saw trolling use the leash grief like a free condom, whereas if I see exploiting or griefing in my guild, of any kind, is grounds for an insta-kick. Maybe now you see where I'm coming from. The pot calling the gold wedding band black, Iuxta litterae.

    While I believe the chaining or putting down siege to prevent siege is as cheesy as it gets nor would I ever be involved in it, I don't believe it is an exploit, nor (being as no one was banned for caltrops and thereby proven beyond reasonable doubt that the devs/admins have no interest in banning pvp exploiters) do I believe anyone will ever be disciplined over it. I believe in adapting, improvising, and overcoming as opposed to QQing in forums about it, like guesting in another campaign and doing something meaningful there.

    Wow, somewhere in that thick compulsive condescension, you would think there would be a hint of intelligence. It takes 2 to troll? That's funny because the definition of troll is firstly singular (edit for clarity: Trolling requires only one Troll, and multiple victims whom aren't involved in the act of trolling), and secondly by definition someone whom intentionally incites drama. No, unlike intercourse, it does not take two to troll. It takes one drama queen. Or would you rather me go full Drama Queen like your buddy Affrayer, and ask if you also believe that it takes two people to commit murder?

    without addressing anything else since conversations between us are spiraling downwards - seems to be common in threads you get involed in

    'TO' troll is a verb - something that TWO people can participate in - ie. 'two fishermen were trolling the seabed with their nets to see what they could catch'

    'A' troll is a noun - an ugly evil mythological norse creature

    in common vernacular, the verb of 'trolling' to get angry reactions has become synonymous with those that participate in such behavior being called A troll

    ergo 'it takes TWO to troll' as in the verb was correct

    lesson #2?

    And if the moderator would have stopped him by removing his posts, I would have stopped as well. Pardon me if I'm a bit skeptical that the admins of this game will actually act where appropriate and felt the need to continue to defend my guild in a complete lack of confidence that his posts would be "handled". I do not concur that I was trolling which is what you seemed to make it sound like here:

    Perhaps you should read the edit (Edit: sorry, I'd rather edit than post twice). Providing a lack of clarity where you are compulsively condescending appears to be entirely and intentionally misleading. Being as you are intentionally attacking the person and not the topic, allow me to indulge: I expect no such retracting of your comments as I do not believe your condescending nature, which is so egotistical that you must refer to yourself in a plural form, allows for lingo like, "My bad!" or "Our bad!"

    If you would have read the forum rules, you would find that posting multiple times without replies is considered spamming, whereas editing your post is not.

    Obviously you missed the part where it says you may not TROLL -- it does not state or even hint that you may not respond to a troll in defense. If they expected people not to respond to a troll, they would immediately delete the troll post. Follow the logic there.

    you believe INTENTIONALLY leaving a campaign after you claimed a throne and abdicating and leaving the keeps INTENTIONALLY undefended and going and doing other things until the emperorship is flipped back so that you can INTENTIONALLY come back and crown your next guildmate an hour or so later is a legitmate and intended form of play

    remember how we agreed that dk chain pulling 10-20 enemy alliance members INTENTIONALLY into a keep is an abuse of in game mechanics and we agreed it's an exploit

    I can't believe this still needs discussing...

    This is an exploit

    This is not how emperor/PvP was meant to be

    You are doing it intentionally

    You are not adhering to the code of conduct

    Above all, you, your guild, other players involved, and any guild involved, are being ass hats who are essentially being called out by the community. Stop doing it, stop ruining emperor and that server, and then we can all move along.

Guildmasters/Officers of the guild(s)involved in such blatant exploit(s) of the game mechanics should be made example of.

    On top of that...

    One would think ZoS should remove the former emp buff. As it, and the greed of some guilds have destroyed Celarus. Not to mention the other low populated servers.

    I, as an avid PvP supporter would not gripe if it was removed from the game, for the health of the game. It would seem the most logic approach to the situation.

    It was expected that the guilds involved do everything they possibly could to sabotage their own defense: put down pots in useless places to max-out the available of siege, spawn max mages is useless places so no one else could, get on other people's siege and not fire, get on the other guild's TS to share what the defenders were planning, etc.


    This right there though is what should be labeled as griefing and if Zenimax don't take actions against it, that's pretty bad.

    Sabotaging intentionally for your alliance should not be tolerated in any way.
    Same as rolling another toon in an Alliance and intentionally feeding the opponent alliance points.

    These two actions alone should lead to a week long suspension and if repeated again, a permanent ban. There is no way behaviour like that can be called a grey area, it sure as hell was not intended by the developers to promote such attitude..
