This is the most insightful and useful statement that i have ever read on Guild Guru.. it is definitely worth repeating over and over again... Sounds like something out of my favorite book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

if everybody understood and applied that simple concept, i believe that human conflict would be either drastically reduced or eliminated completely. Unfortunately the ratio of pig headed people to enlightened people is not in favor of the former.

This must be sarcasm. Or maybe im just too jaded. In my experience, everytime somebody puts up a wall to prevent one from doing anything, somebody finds a way to go around or punch a hole through the wall. Every code can be defeated and every algorithm can be superseded by a more complex algorithm. I just think it would be a waste of resources to "pay the big bucks" for a system that WILL be defeated eventually.

My favorite paradox: The only Absolute is that there is no Absolute.

Good advice - if everyone acted rationally or at least had similar motivations.
I find it impossible to think like a 12-year-old leetist or predict their behaviors. Even trying to conjure up the worst scumminess I can imagine, they still always manage to surprise me.

No. It was a veiled statement that a reliable and accurate tool like that would be exceedingly difficult to make.

They need a better way to mess up the bots and afkers in random arenas. I propose a simple idea. If you have dishonor and repeatedly try to enter again, it adds another 10 minutes each time you click to try and enter mission. Then when all the bots get reported the first time, they'd work up dozens of hours of dishonor because all they do is repeatedly try to re-enter mission.

Oh and btw 2/5 = 40% > 33%, so it isnt for that fact, maybe you are just leaving the games too early?

lol kinda funny how the OP didn't post anymore after this post.
