The vast majority of AFK bank sitters on Chessy are either burning off murder counts or have already banked the expensive stuff. There's an Inn above the bank to insta log out if it's necessary to attend to RL matters. Most of the Chessy folks know to bank their valuable stuff that's not insured.
Of course, when I saw the Miasma Raid (not sure what it's supposed to be called), everyone was active in the fight.
Frankly if you are stupid enough to be afk anywhere with something valuable in your pack that is uninsured, you deserve what you get if you lose it. This game needs to be less predictable, more chaotic, and overall less "safe". Kudos to the EM.
Agreed! I believe it states somewhere in the ToS that you are NOT at any time to be AFK ..... and ingame... and of course that they do not replace lost or stolen items..... we have insta log for a reason. That's why smart people LOG OUT.... when they are afk. You risk whatever you have if you go AFK.... this is a fact...
Personally I applaud the EM's for whacking afkers at Luna.... heck I would give them a reward if they whacked AFK scripters in Luna.... Give them a raise I say.
But as for the GL thing... I was totally annoyed to have to listen to the whining and complaining that went on... the EM's on GL have done a wonderful job of hosting events and making them fun.... the rewards that are given when they are given have been awesome....
I'm sure not all shards got the colored talisman that we got on GL's.... and everyone that was around got one if they asked for one from the EM's when they gave them out... but you don't see other shards crying about that... Rewards are rewards whether 10 people get them or 1,000 people get them...
Honestly I'm disgusted by the behavior of a few especially when they don't ever participate at all in any of the events unless they believe they are going to "get" something...
And it sickens me to think that these whiners might ruin the events for everyone else... Because quite frankly I think that with all the BS the EM's have to put up with ... (Tons of people bringing tamers and huge dragons standing right on top of the EM's time and time again having NO respect for others who are trying to "see" what's going on only to be blocked by someone and their pet, having ungrateful whiners complain every time they don't get some piece of pixel crack, having people spam spells and all sorts of other things while they are trying to set up the storyline... and worst of all the people that come using vulgar language and childlike behavior both in Chat and in game and not being able to do anything about it... and having to not only put up with this but be NICE about it)... that's what gets me..... these people are other players who have given their time and event thought they do get paid... it's still an investment of time and effort they put into these events only to have some Jerk there badmouthing them because they didn't receive some pixel crack garbage... it's disturbing...
I do wish the EM's had the power to "Squelch"... and remove offensive players... so that others can enjoy the event and not have to be subjected to someone making a scene....
To me if everyone in game were MEANT to get something for a holiday... it would come with a publish and you'd be forced to take the crap when you logged in as it would go to your backpack...
Everything else that is given out... is a REWARD... and you are NOT entitled to it... and if one shard gets something and another does not... TOUGH LUCK.....
I don't know about the rest of GL's but I got my furry green boots from Atl...... do I really care that I didn't get some similar piece of junk on GL's.... NO I do not. I had a great time that's all that mattered and it was an event that was well planned and executed. It was fun.... which is exactly what it was meant to be.
