Ok...this may have already been said, but I don't have time to read an ocean of text. Im probably going to get flamed again and again for the rest of my life and beyond my grave, and I wouldn't be surprised if I got sanctioned either. But here goes...Time to umm, what a good way to say it? Oh I know Planet Dive!
First of all...Yea its a game! "Oh! I got slaughtered!" Some players think its the end of the world. Some people laugh their heads off, re-spawn enjoy the game, and say "Good shot" or "nice fight"
Second, About the rule breakers. Yea sure, they should read the rules. there is a copy on every planet I have been to. But people, we have players on the server that are 7 years old! When I was ten, the above paragraph was considered to be a wall of text to me. Do you think they are going to read a wall of text of server rules? Yea, people go around nicely and say hey...bro "you need to change your ID:)" And they say "Sure ill do it now" or "I don't have enough money." This is often the case, and a lot of people don't know it! I give them a copy of the server rules, and say its important. then give them a mill or two so they can get their ID or w/e they need, then we can get on with our lives. There are others that hit the Print Screen button as soon as they can and then report them ASAP. This is dumb, and brings me to my next point.
Point two, I apologies if this comes across as negative in some way, or as if i am flaming the administrators, but it needs to be said. And I think alot of people are thinking this too, but are afraid to say it for this exact reason. Here goes....The admins are too hard on the newbies. Often its just an egg who print screens a so called rule violation, and then the admins sanction immediately. No questions asked. But wait! Theres more! Do you ever see the WARNING commodity used anymore? I don't....And if it is still used well, again I apologies. But most of the damn posts on the rule violations are SANCTIONS or PRISONERS. ie: nub just over level 49...lets say 50. He doesn't even know he has gone over rank. He has just got his new fighter, a little scratch and some nice new guns and a cargo hold of pilots he shot down where ever....Then an idiot comes along and screens it as soon as the bay is scanned...Then it goes across to the admins, and they get picked on straight away! Its as if the admins take it personally! Seriously, its not a who can sanction the most in the shortest amount of time...Not that this has anything to do with the price of fish...But its happened in my country in real life! Police officers gambling over who will catch the most idiots speeding, drinking, driving and parking incorrectly. Seeing how many they can get in a month...and threatened by their chief that if they don't fine enough drivers, they loose their wings and get sacked. Back on the track....here is my take:
Noob001
Rule violation: 6.0.007.901.2 of section 8,296,432,234. Civilian ID on level 50 player!
All weapons gone!
All credit gone!
All cargo gone!
Sent to Prison for 700 million days!
All hope of still using that character gone!
Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars! Thats credit stacking!!!
Sorry people but in my opinion...thats not how it should be done. Endo story.
Bottom Line: Try warning once or twice, then hit as hard as you jolly like. Just my opinion, and a friendly suggestion...Again admins...not directed at anyone special, you do your jobs like pro's but, your turning the game into real life punishing so hard.
