Fairness
« on: December 01, 2004, 02:41:17 am »
hello everyone i read on the main page that the crystal from MB will be transfered to CB in the future, Is This Fair ?   (   ?(  given the amount of cheating by players that occured  during the MB phase !!!
A sensible solution would be to wipe the old database and everyone start all over again. Since MB is tech demo a database wipe would not be too unfamilar for those who regulualy test commerical MMorpg games. As this is will result in level playing field for all. Another upside to this is that we\'ll get to play CB faster as soon as the bugs are ironed we can play.  ;)  
Thus i am appealing to all the honourable people stand with me can call for a database wipe for MB due  tot he fact that it\'s no longer supported code and the ease in which it can be hacked.
thanks  ;)

WUT?! Unfair?! Some people here spent hundreds and maybe even thousands of hours collecting the dammed crystals, and you are just saying to wipe them out like nothing happened?! Some people, maybe cheated, but the bigger part of rp\'ers here are innocent and your word should sound as an insult.

You need to change this to
\"several people repeatedly cheated big time and not every one has been caught\".
As for \"the bigger part\", that is true, but since nobody can tell whose crystals are cheated and whose aren\'t, there is no proof. This is another example of how a few bad apples cause harm to the entire community. This also is why cheating and other morally questionable activities must never be accepted by the community. I wish for the most severe punishments for even the smallest cheating offense, and will personally report any such activity that comes to my knowledge.

It is an old report on the main site for PS at http://planeshift.it/
However that was a long time ago and was not stated as a concrete thing even then. It was only something that was being thought about...Like most other features mentioned on the -somwhat outdated- main site.

I also don\'t think that that crystal transferring thing is fair. Because 1. there are enough guys that are hacking 2. Crystals will be removed in CB (AFAIK), so the ones who havew them, have very rare things after CB release.

Eh? If we do transfer em, it will be like 10 trias for each 1k rubies or something like that. It won\'t be enough to survie on, maybe buy a drink or something

if this is the case then i see no problem with transfering the crystals. when i first heard that this might happen i was a little dissapointed since i myself havent even gotten on MB (waiting for 3.0 dial up 28800bps at best :() but if the transfer rate is even close to 10 trias to 1k rubies....then i\'d say let em have thier crystals.

Those who are whining about how many hundreds of hours they spent crystal hunting need to take their anger out on the cheaters who brought about this situation. I spent as long as anybody crystal hunting, and each time I reached 5k, I gave them all away and started again. I did that a total of 3 times, if I remember correctly.

What I\'m saying is, chill. They don\'t mean anything. And they\'ll mean very little in CB, so what\'s the point? So you wasted all that time... not really. It kept you involved in the game, the community, and I bet you\'ve made alot of friends during your time here havn\'t you?

When it comes down to it, only the cheaters are really losing something here. If the decent players can just accept the wipe or low transfer rate is a necessary punishment, they can then focus on stopping it happening again. Stop being awkward and do something about it instead.
