NOTICE Villainy Plugin Update

[Destroyer_Bravo 1054]

This plugin is asking people to cliffjump with an entire armor storage. It's a middle finger hotkey.

 

I made an acronym for my stance on that plugin.

Users Against The Usage Of No-Drop For Usage Of Prevention Of Items Being Dropped

People confuse us wanting items in RP with OOC want for items. I know this is hard for people to fathom, but I have enough items.. I don't need more. I take them because it's what a bandit would do. We kill people to try and make banditry feared, which it will never be if people keep trying to be hero's when robbed. The fact of the matter is wardog, people aren't comfortable with parting with ANY of their items, so what's the point / fun in us going out and robbing people? I've gone up and asked for 10 minas after a long RP session, and all I get is (OOC: OMG NOT AGAIN! THIS IS SO ANNOYING!) Makes me not want to RP a character i've developed because people are so attached to pixels. It doesn't have to be one sided, we're just trying to prevent that.

 

I don't think I've ever seen banditry more accurately described than this. I could reiterate but, instead, I'd encourage you all to just read above.

I still follow what Emenzi has told me several times. No one on LotC fears death no longer, since everyone can do it now, even the worst of role-players can, I myself miss VA's cause.. Well, it was always a thrill when someone would try to kill or assassinate you since almost all murderers were good RP'ers, it was enjoyable. I won't go ranting about "Bring VA's back!" or anything like that, for I think it's your choice, and I'm to follow it, but if I get to say myself.. If VA's ever get to come back, have it account bound, instead of character bound.

I'm no wizard but I'm pretty sure that not agreeing with the changes doesn't make you item hungry. Opinion is opinion, let's not slander those you disagree with.

[Anawkin 247]

Pretty much it. This seems highly prone to abuse and in my mind serves no addition to rp other than as Zezimus said, a giant middle finger to anyone who killed whomever. Wrong move staff.

I think Zezimus and youlovesocks very well explained that this is not the case, and the fact that the implementation of this plugin was done without most of the administration and the GM team even knowing about it makes it even more surprising. This to me seems like a reaction to a couple of threads without it being thought thoroughly. I don't think that the plugin will accomplish the intended goals, rather it will backfire and cause even more problems, and I don't think snarky comments like this to people who generally don't dislike the change will help anything to be honest.

 

Just my two cents though.

[Agnub 605]

The lesser of two evils. If a problem didn't exist the staff wouldn't have to implement a fix for it. Hate to say it but the server brought the change upon itself. If people don't like it the maybe they need to look at how they RP and make some fixes there first.

"As a bandit what is the point of banditry? To get things"

"isn't us just being item hungry."

Much generalize, much rude.

my sides

 

I disagree with the plugin but it doesn't mean that I'm item hungry. In fact I have no items as I give them all away to my character's clan. However, I disagree with the fact that the tech team would introduce a plugin that's sole use is to spite other players. 

 

You know when I was new to the server, I would always get killed by undead/bandits. In the end, I looked for ways to combat this RPly. I mined for iron and diamond, tried to bolster up Kal'Urguan's guard force. It worked and soon enough we were beating back nearly every bandit raid that tried to attack us. 

 

Let's face it, do you really think we can trust the entirety of the playerbase to judge maturely and onobjectively whether their opponent's RP was satisfactory? We have whole staff teams on the server dedicated to this sort of thing in the form of the AT and previously the VAT.

This topic is being locked and we'll get Tech Team to remove this addition. I apologize for any frustration that this caused, though this was our fault as a team and not just Telanir's as some of you seem to think. Admittedly it was rushed out hastily and proper evaluation of the pros and cons of its addition were not fully considered. We will reevaluate its benefit to the server, and we will consider what you have all said in this thread. Thank you all for taking the time to express your concerns.
