@drah: These characters stick around for the duels. That's why I'm targetting duels.
@drah: If you read all my posts, you would know that I love dueling and I'm pretty good at is as well. I just think it's creating a bad culture.
@drah: The problem players are newer, but they're at the point where they're no longer just "noobs". They're now semi-established players who are encouraging new players to copy their behaviour.
you don't respond at all to what people say
I do indeed respond to what people say. More often than they deserve in fact.

How about this; put it [even tho nothing ever is] to a vote: All who want dueling eliminated vote for that & zanzi to stay, the rest vote for dueling to stay & zanzi to be permanently ip banned & account deleted.
Your maturity astounds me and sets new heights for me to aspire to.

There will always be fools zanzibar.
Removing a feature from the game wont change that. It will simply attract a new class of prick.
I'm not so sure. I see a specific problem with an apparent solution. What new problems do you see arising from this solution?
@neko kyouran: So long as duels are in the game, these problems will continue. It's nost just a matter of duel spams - it's the culture that has formed around dueling itself.
@emeraldfool: The dueling system has been around for two years. PS has been around for a lot longer than that, but I think dueling has been given its time in the sun. Until the death realm is expanded - or until laws can be inforced - perhaps we should get rid of it. Like I said, I like dueling and killing people - especially the annoying people who shout trashy insults at others. But if dueling was eliminated, many of those annoying players would leave the game.
Remember, we are developing a game here, not a playerbase.
You're developing a dev team. You're developing a GM team. You're developing a player's guide. You're developing an online community. You're developing RP events. You're developing a RP culture. And you're developing a playerbase. It's all connected.
Anything that changes that the devs can also influence runs under ther umbrella of developement. Or at least, that's how I see things.
Ps. One more thing; please have some decency and stop calling people idiots.
It's difficult to resist when you're so far above everyone intellectually.
