RO1 In Game Rules and Guidelines

You know, it's funny that RO has to create rules for their game mechanics. Most rules in MMOs or video games in general is "don't be a dick to each other and don't cheat with 3rd party mods."

Being a dick is apparently fine tho. Or was. Or something. Maybe they're making an effort to step it up on toxic behaviour, we'll see.

Here's the worse part about these rules. THEY CHANGE and are never set in stone. 10 years ago No Emblem was a legit strategy and then it was made illegal.

Thank you for mentioning that. I was so sick of being called a liar for remembering it.

To sum it up though: Real cheats aren't enforceble.

BM/Rude behaviour such as using portals or changing emblem colours is enforceable, but mostly only if the person broadcasts themselves doing it. Whilst everyone is autopotting, you're punishing people who CANT SENT AN EMBLEM BECAUSE OF CLIENT ISSUES.

Figure it out.

You are preaching to the choir on this. Though with the magnifier example they really are blocked on the map(well the skill they use is). So its not a rule but a hard limited mechanic. They shouldn't work. This is the perfect example of things that need to be included in the next run of "Things that bother you." Ideally I would prefer a game where players can't make reports because the bad stuff can't happen. Much of our wish list to the studio is along this line of thought but until such time as they create and update such things we have to deal with the game as we have it not as we want it to be.

"you're lucky you're not banned because of the amount of reports levelled against you" - wp staff.

I just wish there was a comprehensive understanding among all of the people who handle tickets. I understand when you have to train new members, but for staff that have been there for a very long time, it is a shame that they are not consistent on the rules or procedures.

Oh ain't that the truth. It's almost like Myzery was trolling me about the occasional portal recall I do during that client edits thread, then KamiKali was quoting things I said to him on skype in the thread, then you make a list of rules, some of which were made specifically regarding situations involving her. It's like.... people on skype were talking to each other or something.

Well It's like I told Jordan. I could always just not stream, since basically unenforceable otherwise rules just get created and then it creates extra workload for the GM team.
I mean, classic just looks terrible because of the empty castles and harassment anyway so it's no loss.

Your focus is just in the wrong places. The focus should be on the stuff like MP hacks, or autopot (and my videos were more than clear so please don't) rather than silly things like portal recall which is spellbreakable (just FYI) and even on stream I now need to step away from the portal to recall/hide/cloak because hide and cloak don't have text cues.

When stuff like the following video happens, I don't see why I should have to video/stream everything to defend myself.

The reason they're allowing client edits is because they can't fairly enforce it unless the user videos/streams/screenshots themselves doing it.
 
But portal casting with intent falls under the exact same problems, by Campitor's own admission,
 

[...] My real concern as player/producer is that this may be a rule that only affects those who live stream as it is otherwise very hard to prove intention on a portal cast.

but that affects all of about.... idk how many people stream iRO WoE? Two? If even two.
 

Please note the phrasing on the prohibition. It is the intentional portal casting what this means is the test is far higher than merely having portal casted or having the appearance of portal casting. The evidence should prove an intentional decision to repeatably portal cast. The GMs should not be banning in the situation provided.

And I can tell you first hand this is literally bs. They should not be but they will be.

Example:

Valhalla obviously has many guilds and recallers (vaihalla vaihaiia etc) and I own most but not all. They all have different emblems for purposes of knowing if we're in the right one, etc. It's a lot easier to identify "the purple one" or "the red one" than "the sinx one" or "The other sinx one"

And by occasion, we'll have someone wandering around in one of the alts guilds, owned by me or not, because they don't want to get recalled, because they logged on late, because they're emo, because they want to econ raid things.... whatever.

A couple of months ago I soloyolo'd an alliance. On my recaller sinx. In the purple guild. Someone else then wandered in on the alt guild and soloyolo'd them. They got sad and got reported, I got suspended for using a different emblem to the one I had... not realizing what guild they were in or even if they did it.

So don't ask me or anyone else to have faith in the GM team and what they "should" do.

You're talking to someone who's got a ticket going on for pages arguing about being suspended because of a client error and until the GM team sucks it up and accepts what happened, this argument I'm having with them, that they want me to have here, with you, is going to go on forever because I do not want to see anyone else get the same bs treatment.

so no "they should not" - they do. And they justify it.

• Use of Bots to Vend is prohibited
• Use of Bots to Buy is prohibited

I think this need be review.

These "rules" are not enforced in both directions. I highly suggest the community have a talk about it.

this topic forgot to list greyworld as prohibited. 

Because ragial got permission from WP

Thx for making me reiterating the question. Why Ragial is permit while public buffer not?

@VModCinnamon said "Ragial do have permission from Warpportal to function in-game under strict supervision."
Still doesn't answer my question, WHY Ragial is permitted but public buffers not?

Only someone with reading comprehension answer plz thx.

Good question, there is more behind it so I'd rather have CM's comment on that.

There are no good alternatives to ragial.
