This would be a small explorable map so you could use skills. However, all prisoners and visitors would have custom skillbars. Prisoners can only brawl with each other this way.. and visitors could throw tomatoes at prisoners :P

Did I say visitors? Of course you could watch the prisoners, or their corpses after they killed each other. Throwing tomatoes should work on both living and dead prisoners though :P

eeewww my Obsidian Armor would get dirty...besides sounds like too much fun to be PUNISHMENT(not a word i would like to associate with a game)

Not able to enter the game -> Goes elsewhere/Get another account.
Able to enter the game, but not able to play normally -> Frustrated. You have the thing, you can't use the thing.

This would work only for immature players. Mature and 'professional' gold sellers would just consider the account as banned and get another one.

this is a really nice post

/sign , nice idea

Sounds great apart from the IP ban bit, i share an external-IP with about 1,000 other students, so one of them does it we all get sent down.
Plus my IP at home is dynamic so i just have to restart the connection and i get a new IP

Like the idea though, suspentions are not a decent punishment

There is a chat limiter which prevents spam. If this isn't enough, you have an ignore list to take care of it.

Scamming is always the fault of the scammed. I dislike scammers as much as the next guy, but I can't feel bad for people getting scammed when the trade window is very clear, concise and easy to use.

How does someone buying gold affect you at all? I don't buy gold, it's not something I need to do, but if someone makes the choice to do it, why should I care?

spamming- so we should just turn off our chat filter when someone spams so WE cant see the chat we WANT to?

scamming- most scammed are noobs, and it causes people to quit the game, not recomend it, or buy gold

gold buying- causes massive inflation that makes it hard for non-buyers to purchase items

dishonorable hex is fine, shouldn't effect you if you arn't hurting others game experiance........are you?

That's retarded. I know people who have been 3-day banned for legitimately trading gold between their first and second accounts, and people who were not banned at all for buying a lot of gold. So what you're suggesting is that after "getting caught" trading gold between accounts a few times, that person will get a perma-ban? That's stupid.

Plus most people can change their IP, and it sucks for people who share IPs.

We have too much guild spam in local, that's true. But putting the power in the hands of a bunch of teenage whammos isn't the answer. Letting the people in general decide is just asking for some group to turn on a player who's new and use the "scam" report to get him back for accidental aggros.

I love GW, but I don't exactly trust anyone who isn't officially a mod. :P

I don't like this proposition, but people have already voiced my concerns, specifically the IP Address rule and validating the offense. But I just had to nit-pick on this:

Gold-buying causes inflation and shit. When people buy gold, it'll be in large quantities. Obviously, if 10 people are buying gold, it doesn't affect the game. But when a lot of people are buying 100k, they can afford to pay more for items, and thus the value of GW gold becomes less, and the price of items increases. Yeah... Inflation...

I read the whole thing and COMPLETELY disagree. I don't see the point in this. This would make the game completely unfair and it would play into the hands of whiny little 10 year olds who report anyone who cusses. Just today I saw someone say "X: I just reported you for cussing and being mean"... and I was just like WTF?!?!. Seriously, if we don anything like this then it will be all these little "MAYBE BE IF I REPORT ENUF I CAN BE A MOD!" people running around and ruining the game for some of the more mature players.

I think they should have the dishonorable folks in a PVP outpost have small jails where they spend their time instead of walking around with a hex

roflcopter2445 · Dec 05, 2007, 05:11 PM // 17:11

If this were to happen, hundreds would just quit, and we don't want that. Stop being such a wuss, it's an MMO for god's sake, a-hole's are part of the world, deal with it.

/ Notsigned definitely. Look at all the people who are getting banned just for doing legit things that look suspicious with this the rich people are gonna have debts of 500 armbraces + for moving their "obviously duped" items. Increase suspension time ok but really would not allowing someone to use all chat really dissappoint that person? I play the game to play not sit in a city and spam like most people do nowadays.
