It was still fun, wasn't fun hearing someone got banned for the non intentional thing without investigation or speaking to said person.
Yeah, to be honest we didn't expect anything too severe to happen to him - there's no real polite way to say it, most us believe Tolrin to be reasonably smart. But I did neglect to consider that he may have been looking for a source of blame outwardly for his DCs as that stuff is "expected" of me for reasons. In due time I'm sure the GM team will make it all right and fair. That is more reason in my mind to reset things as if they did not happen.
If it means anything, one of the examples I listed was done by an alliance leader of mine without the knowledge of me or my guild. In that case it was very much deliberate - but still not appropriate to punish everyone. It really only takes one person being a douchebag to reflect on everyone else.
I'm not sure the person who is well known for rule-breaking in WoE in the form of portal recalling and using no emblem, changing emblems mid WoE, or using near transparent emblems as a means of "strategy" (lol) is in the position to be telling other people to "earn a castle without exploits."
Hrmm, funny. Last time I checked portal immunity went away with portal casting and is bypassed by spellbreak anyway. Emblems both invisible and changed were legal on the server I used to play (old iRO chaos) and I have adapted to the Classic rules in terms of not changing them. We can talk about how that rule only exists because of an exploit on renewal (a guy spamming emblem changes super fast with WPE causing constant invisibility and lag) - but I do not believe that is an exploit on classic in regards to REGULAR emblem swapping.
There is literally no precedent for portal recalling. None. We used to report people for it all the time. ALL THE TIME. It's BM AF but you can just spellbreak the player in question if they are truly portal ecalling.
Furthermore, I am of the belief that iRO should adopt the rule of requiring all players to be in a guild inside the castle WITH AN EMBLEM. Other servers do this, as an instant cast offensive ME/LP under hibram is much more devastating and harder to prevent than an 8 second recall. We have lost castles to this and guildess Champions being able to apply damage to stones. however, because only one side expresses concerns about my guild being able to do "stuff" with no emblem the request I have to review the rule for fairness often goes ignored.
In regards to emblem swapping. I do not. We do however have seven Valhalla guilds, with a variety of Emblems. There are logs for these things that the GMs check and I assure you I have received no warnings or sanctions for such a thing in over a year.
Now, I don't want to get into a call out war with you, but if I felt so inclined, please remember the videos I have on my yt channel of your guild. I don't believe that a guild that breaks the rules in terms of 3pps should be calling out another on their design tastes in emblems, or decisions to recall immediately after portalling (not portal recall as you so often call it). If you want to discuss this stuff with me and ask me to stop, do so politely and in my PM box.
