I am OUTRAGED! This is bull and you guys know it. How would you like it someone took a year of your hard work and flushed it down the drain. If 000 can't take rage and critiscm(especially when they deserve it) they shouldn't be making games. Pawn is a close friend of mines and should be on the VERY VERY Bottom of the list on people who should get banned. Heck I applaud him for his acts somebody needed to speak up! Let the Man leave on his terms this leaves a bad bad taste in my mouth. Heck I be fine taking the ban in his place. My foot was already out of the door anyways mainly because of stupid decisions like this. Pawn is someone who helped you out in heartbeat, and He cares about this game and others. SUCH INJUSTICE!

Holla... raging isn't going to do a thing. Look where it got Pawn. Of course they can take the criticism, they wouldn't be in this business and lasted for as long as they have if they couldn't.
If you go into a store screaming they will throw you out.
If you go into a store and politely ask to speak to the manager and tell the manager your problems and issues in an intelligent way and not attacking them... they will listen. They will consider. If you don't like their response what do you do? You don't go to that store again. Yeah you have put a lot of time and money into that store, but in the end you weren't getting what you wanted out of it. So you leave and don't come back.
Yeah. I've been playing the game longer than most people in this game. I've been playing since beta. I know some that have been playing longer than I. I understand the upset and disappointment. But is me screaming and raging going to help? NO. it won't help. It just makes things more complicated, and it most of all... upsets me more than it upsets them. I'm the one that's being affected more because i'm letting it affect me in such a way.
I don't know pawn all that well. I do know he has been a big influence in the game and a very kind player. He really really contributed to the game. I'm only a bit closer to rommil than I am pawn. They are great guys. Just let things calm down and see what happens.
Anyways, you know your options. You've been threatening to leave for a while... and in that while you've been making posts raging against three rings. They've already stopped taking you seriously. They won't admit it...but i mean... Njthug doesn't go around saying "no one ever really quits the game" because it isn't true. Decide what you want holla and go with it, but staying here and raging is only making your blood pressure high.
I clarified this elsewhere, but no one gets forum banned just for calling someone a liar. It generally takes multiple instances of forum rule violations to become forum banned. (Instances where we'd jump straight to a forum ban would be similar in magnitude to, say, someone spamming the N word in a post.)
The term "permaban" specifically refers to an in-game ban, so please let's be clear that this person was not, in fact, permabanned.
In any case, specific forum bans are not up for debate on the forums. The player affected by a support action may appeal via the proper channels.
His rage was a tiny bit over the top, but it's to be expected with something like this. With as much time and effort and love even that was put in the game by him and rommil... I wouldn't expect anything less. It's just that there are consequences to your actions. I don't agree with a perma-ban. I've said it over and over and I'll say it again... I don't agree with it. I do agree that he needed to take a step back get off the computer and come back to it when he was calmer, and more sober. I'm not completely backing three rings here. I'm just saying he was a bit out of line, and basically adding more fuel to the fire. When someone that has been a leader in this game, such as him, acts like that... it will add more fuel to the fire in a much bigger way.
Look at all this talk about it? Look how people are upset that action was taken against him. Would you be this upset if that happened to someone that was barely known to the game? No. In fact you would probably make fun of them just a bit. But because he has been so influential to the community of this game you take his posts seriously and feel his frustration.
The entire ce debacle is unfortunate and sooo very frustrating. Something should have been done the moment they got the report that the ce market was the way it was. But now... nothing can be done about it. All you can do is let three rings know for in the future if someone tried this again that an immediate shut down of the game would be much more desired over waiting it out. But all the same we are glad that something was done and it was handled at all.
