It really makes you wonder
As I sat in the square last night and listened to the every repeating tales of rivalry, I had to ask myself "What the heck?" Okay.. I really asked it a little more bluntly than that, but this is a G rated forum. Some of the back and forth tit for tat, an eye for an eye I can understand. But then there are the occasional senior players that act like they are less mature than my 11 year old. So as I understood the story.... someone BCs an Alt of a Level 70 character. The oh so mature player immediately gets his level 70 and exacts revenge. The level 43 he kills returns the favor with a nasty hex. The oh so mature player then takes his level 70 on a rampage against that clan. Not attacking anyone that might be a threat. No he goes after player after player that is half his level. So I say again, "What the Heck?" The school ground bully here or what? But the thing I really don't get is why his clan puts up with him. This isn't the first time he has gone over the edge. With this mentality he can't be any easier to deal with as a clan leader? Why would a group of fairly good players (some of whom I have talked to at length and are nice folks) put up with this over and over again? I just don't get it. Now I have taken care to not use any names. But I am sure most can figure out who I am talking about. Especially if they were online last night. Maybe someone can clue me in. Or am I just that dumb? ">
Lol he try his hardest to hide and use alt to the post.
To me I care nothing to an alt and don't waste my time to try to recognize every single person's alt. If your alt in the clan that's difference story.
Leane, you are absolutely right
let's pretend you aren't an alt, but just someone unfamiliar with the atmosphere lately. Many of us have alts, and Many of us don't hit those that attack the alts. BUT it is a risk you take when working BC reps. Recently my alt was hit, and I called my clanmates to defend, instead of using my main to attack after the fight was over (alts name is Stormy Kat, by the way, seemed pretty obvious to me). This is no different then having hit back with my main after, the goal is to make the person bc'ing pay for gear damage in exchange for the rep. They likely won't hit again.
Something I have in clan news for those working bc reps, that might help you prevent getting hit by a main:
"check gear, be smart, someone walking around half naked or with very very cheap gear is probably a farmer alt. "
"play nice, don't get into a screaming match. some people take bc'ing very personally, any problems, let us know...."
"and DO NOT BC anything with the name Cletus, SKIF, Kat, or Lance in it!" (anyone else wanting on this list, please let me know LOL )
BC isn't punishment haha. Again BC ISN'T PUNISHMENT. But babies think so. Just play how you want to play hit who you want to hit. if they give you trouble then just do something else for awhile. Truthfully you find another game you enjoy, you probably won't come back to DE. Babies only have a short term memory on here, so you can go back to what you do. They throw tantrums so often that they can't even keep track of who they "have to punish for playing the game"
Think the justification for hitting the rest of clan is: The Clan lets the offender hide in clan hall, and the Offender sits there safe while his clan gets hit. And in the case above, it's very very likely that dass' alt was hit on purpose.
Work BC rep, then expect to take your spankings in return. It does not need to be a clan issue, but as we all know, becomes one quickly when the bc'er can't take a spanking nicely and goes running around hitting others again and again.
Emotions are high lately, It's just the way it's been. I hope we can all find ways to defend our friends, but stop defending and protecting those that deserve to get hit and it might not escalate to a clan vs clan issue.
I can agree with that for sure. If you have a problem with one person, go after the one person. Never saw the point of going after others who weren't involved. But that's just me.
I've been attacked over and over again by lvl 70's...I still like to believe that they'll get bored some day . I'm already happy that I don't get attacked more than once a day lately.
And about getting bced out of the game. Only activity u cant were protection all the time is hop and the islands which is intended as beeing a higher reward in trade for the higher risk from the publisher...
Oh and i never got this its ok to bc unclanned people but clanned ones are a nono policy ...
I think forum should be used to spread love, friendship, kindness, good wishes, have fun and give info too.
That's all I am saying about this, the point of discussion is not worth my time.
