"FUJITORA"Slightly off topic but anyone afk hunting / botting / whatever could / should receive a very large amount of penalty exp (couple levels atleast.)

Think i suggested this a coupleof months ago.... Instead of just sitting out a few days ban..they have to work it off. That way they have to play, and the usercount doesnt go down

"THEHOOD"When I played, I thought I was doing the right thing all the time - if I saw something dodgy I spoke up about it regardless of who it was.
I never went as far to install recording software in my pc.

I made a few reports while I played and I regret all of them in all honesty because I don't think any were handled great, I don't think the system works and if you leave it in the players hands things just escalate until they are out of control.

Bans are GM business, and if there is next to no presence in-game then there shouldn't be any bans.
You can't trust players to do your job for you, it just doesn't work.

Clearly trust is an issue in recruiting more people who can look out for suspicious behavior - if it's really that difficult and that much of an inconvenience then I would just stop banning people at the end of the day.
If your not willing or able to commit to handling it in somewhat of a professional manner then just give it up.

Known BRAV3HEART for example for a lot of years and there's no way he has cheated and as he says he's donated a good sum to this server.

It's a sad state of affairs.

I think the bans need to be banned. Unless witnessed by a GM and discussed with the player.

There are lots of folk on Dsoma who I was guilded with as a nub - just for example Order and Glad2 who are coming into their own now and I know different folk have had suspicions over them and many others - at the end of the day if there isn't hard evidence then leave them be and just let any childish tit for tat go. They certainly ain't bad people, we're all the same but if you want this game to survive people need to learn to talk to each other a bit more rather than talking about each other.

All drama I wasn't willing to put up with in my chill out time.

i actually quite agree with you there hood.. i was banned for 7 days for posting a picture on here yeah ill admit was stupid thing to do but was funny. I then didnt log in for 3 days as i was working away and was banned for 30 days which was a tad unfair and i wasnt even aloud to explain myself. I actually quit the dsoma due to the fact every time i logged in i would be continuously killed me either goat evil_jr or pathologist so i gave my character away and started a human everything seems to be ok on this side so far but well see but im seriously considering uninstalling just like you did.

"ISYLVER"AFK is simple really.

If myself or any other member of the team appears next to you and asks for a response. You respond. If we then see you switch from various monsters, run to attack others, run to restock during this time it's self explanitory what happens next.

We had a range of excuses yesterday such as "I wasn't afk I was cleaning my fish tank" .

P.S. If you use bots/macros and afk with them:

What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my palus go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

"GHOSTLORD"Find me any game where GM's share evidence, and I will consider it.
Find me any game where GM's approach the cheaters and kindly 'discuss' the fact and I might consider it.

It takes me at least 2-3 minutes to open my ban log in google drive and use the website to check the IP's of the account in question. This is AFTER I have spent some time ingame seeing if someone is afk. If you can't reply in that time you are away from your keyboard. How do I know this? You didn't type.

"CYPHUS"

"BRADLEY_COLE"isylver catched me botting at palus yeah i gave him the bot and i didnt ever do it again and 110 str no was 95 str

caught*

"CYROX"People are only annoyed because you give out bans like there's no tomorrow with seemingly little to no evidence sometimes, on contentious issues that aren't clear cut.

Fear of being caught botting is fine, but legit players are worried if they don't respond to every random person that walks up to them, they'll be branded a botter, or if they stand in a certain place they'll be banned for some random reason.

I feel it's too much and it's too far. I guess we just have to hope we're not unlucky enough to be deemed in the wrong place at the wrong time.
