If it's an intentional feature, someone had their head up their fourth point of contact and has no clue on how to design a game.

crippler, cry to someone else. Get a grip and deal with it.
ok, but all i was pointing out was that "flaming" is a big issue in these forums. and everyone should be treated fairly and equally. no matter what their forum status is thats all bro. im not upset about being warned, i probably deserved it, but that was before i knew how tightly :flaming: was here, and since then i havent called anyone out on it. just wanted to clarify it.

totally understand that, and i got no prob with slash or anyone here in the forums, i like to read and learn about the game. i guess i was just a lil shocked at the early warning, well i learned from it and moved on, and wont make the mistake in the future.

yeap, you are right, but I don't think quitting will help that cause. Instead, why don't you try to make that safer by taking on players who abuse those things.

Using a feature that the Admin has vouched for as something that is supposed to be in the game and not a bug is part of the game. It may be cheap, but it is definitely not cheating.

Like users that were jumping in and out of vacation mode, I did not like it as a game mechanic. However, if I needed to use it, I would have. Finding small advantages in the game that are not bugs is smart strategy.

Personally, I think IPMing people in vacation mode should not be allowed in the game. However, for as long as they are, those who use them effectively are playing smart.

No, playing smart is phalanxing and choosing when to attack. Not waiting till they log back on and raid them of everything they've got.
