Careful. Wouldn't want to come off as dyslexic again would we? Infact, lets add the phrases "moronic" and "unable to analyse" to the mix. And before you call me a "pompous stuck up spasticated wanker" again, lets me just say that the difference between me and you is that my insults are based on fact whilst yours are based on testosterone.

1. I never said you stated that Frac was in the top 10. What I said was that the screeny OF the top 10 did not contain Frac's name and that the current top 10 did not have Fracs name. Hence me then saying don't use the screeny as part of your argument that Frac's levels were not removed.

2. You say that "FracOMac's name was also shooting up like a rocket." How does this have any bearing on whether or not his levels are removed? I never contested the point that Frac did not benefit from the levelling. What I did contest is your claim his levels were never removed.

3. 2800 by your count is a rough estimate. It has been already 1month since Frac stopped using the bug as per Bageeses community announcement. Add in also the XP he obtained in the week prior to that announcement from tithe (From people not levelling in Hermes). That is very close to your estimate of 2800-3200 in 1.5 months.

4. I do not hate the world and have no reason to assume everyone is lying, only the retarded ones. You say that the admins lie when they backed up Frac on his removal of levels. Yet you also want the admins to deal with this situation by a change of policies and a punishing of those involved. How can you possibly ask admins to do one thing, then accuse them of lying about something else? It seems that you only "believe" what suits you and call everything else a lie.



Such a thing can be called a false memory. You did not have a clear memory of what Frac's level was. Perhaps he was level 3.3k. Perhaps he was level 2.8k. The moment Combustion mentioned that Frac was 2.8k, your brain took that as a memory of what actually happened. Read up on it.

"but the principle that memories can be altered by outside influences is overwhelmingly accepted by scientists"

Wow, this is ridiculous. Yes, I gained xp tithe from the hermes bug but my level was reverted just like everyone else. This even caused me to drop a couple places on the leaderboard (back to where I was before the bug, but still). If I was in favor of level reversion because I wanted to be a high on the leaderboard, wouldn't I have wanted to keep those levels? Your accusation here makes no sense. I think the real story with regards to this point (which you seem to spend a disproportionate time on) is that you're upset that your own exploited levels here were taken away. (this goes for both Thermal and Combustion here, who were two of the biggest abusers of the bug incase anyone didn't know)

For anyone interested in hearing both sides of a story, here is my condensed account of the first kill of Kidd: Uni reset rolls around and Kidd goes live, this being the first endgame boss I've designed I was very excited to see players in action against him since I'm fully expecting him to tear them to pieces. Surprisingly (to me at the time) a run was organized very quickly after the reset to see what he was about, but I was invited (at the time, most of my own team didn't even know I was a dev) so I decided to tag along for elec, since I'm an engineer and sitting there with an elec beam seems to me like a harmless way to participate. So the run commences and within 30 seconds Kidd manages to tear apart the best squad I'd seen at that point (other than a couple absentis snipers, it was all t21 ships), and I get the huge self satisfaction from his scripting tearing apart the very squad I designed him to slaughter. However, the squad regroups outside and upon the 2nd try manages to use some quirks in his behavior to avoid most of his nastiness, ending in a successful kill. At this point if any of you remember, his loot tables were bugged and he didn't drop any of his unique items. Having seen it first hand the quirks that were used to kill him, I go about fixing them for the next patch and fixing the loot tables. I went on a few more runs after that once the patch fixing him went live using other people's characters, but none were successful for a while. To this day, I've done very few kidd runs and the ones I have done I've intentionally avoided discussing or having any hand in strategy as I feel it'd be unfair as the person who designed him.

However, I realize that might not be enough for the playerbase as a whole to be satisfied. So for any future content I help create (not really my role on the dev team anymore anyway) I will not set foot in the place as a player until a team other than whatever team I reside on at the time has conquered it.

Reported.

Are you perhaps dyslexic as well as retarded. I never asked for proof that Frac used Hermes to level and neither did anyone else. I asked for proof that Frac reverted levels of only a select few who were a direct challenge to himself and his goal of being the top leveled player. Infact, I stated this twice. Would you like me to tattoo it on your forehead to make it clearer?

In the correct order, so the facts are right:

Murasame
Combustion
Thermal

We were the ones who spent the most time and got to the leader board.

But tell me, a person who decided to level four characters from 1000 to 2000 in the Hermes instance, and never had his levels removed, is he not the biggest exploiter? He was the one who gained the most from the exploits, not the three previously mentioned characters. Whatever you say will never in any way change that for sure.

This is one of the stupidest, most inane arguments I have ever seen on this forum. Essentially what you are asking for is A: Admins to be perfect, finish content and bugfixes instantly, and in general be inhuman supermen that do nothing but work on code and XML all day long, and B: Admins to never play their own game(that they volunteer to help make!).

And then everyone whines when their unrealistic expectations are not met.
YOU CHEATED, YOU HAD YOUR CHEATING TAKEN AWAY, END OF STORY.Should all exploited items/levels/whatever be removed? YES. Can imperfect admins/devs do this? NO, OR IT WOULD BE DONE ALREADY. Do you REALLY think the devs are just like "Oh, here's this guy that got 1000 levels, but let's just leave him, just because." "Oh, there's a possum sitting in my pantry, eating all my crackers, but lets leave him, just because." Makes about the same amount of sense.

And if you quit, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?

so in admins eyes getting a few spaces higher on leaderboard and extra zen skills is more dangerous then maxing out all of your skills via exploit?

You are a funny guy. You see, when you pay for a game you are a customer. Here we have an issue that evolved into the Admins treating players differently (pretty much: unfairness) because it took them almost a week to even look into the matter. A week Cygnus. You can't put the blame on anything but the system there, because it obviously doesn't work.

And I am saying that Admins should be really careful with combining being a high end player with being a content developer. Because of the psychological aspect that we call consciousness.

So yeah, in other games you actually can expect to get the customer support that you easily should expect in a game like this. The rest of your post just reminds me of why your entire team has told me several times to ignore you because you are nothing but a troll (EF's words).

No, Sir. No. You pay to accept what the company, that is Star Sonata, gives you.
