Lets talk about it honesty.

GMs in a alpha-stage game!!11!one!

Seriously, I think this thread is such a non-sense talking. I dont give a fuck if anyone kills me, raids me, blabla. It's a freaking game, and it's in testing phase! who cares? Just try to do something funny (funny for you) and enjoy the ride. QQing and rambling about w3 crap is SOO annoying, I was hoping all that stuff was discussed during W4, but even in W5 people make threads about that.

Bugs are stuff that will happen on testing phases, deal with it!

Naive views on what is "right" and "wrong"

Wow, so far I pictured you as a reasonable human being, but what you propose here is so incredibly naive...

Cudos to TeckX for taking the time and arguing about this, when it is bloody obvious why GMs cause way, way more troubles than they solve.

spineapple should play more and talk less bullshit

Naive views on what is "right" and "wrong"

Edit; not to be an ass or anything but I was not implying I was right or wrong.

I stated if the game was in any kind of released stage bug abuse would be looked at more seriously than it is now, it was not an 'intentional' mechanic of the game it is an exploit and it ruins the game when it is abused therefore in a released multiplayer game it's the closest thing to cheating you'll get to, if it was a board game you'd not play the game with the person anymore, if it was a shooting game you'd ban their IP's from your game servers, if it was any kind of MMO characters would get erased and a patch would be brought out.

None of this is present now because "the game isn't done yet", which is why:

Lol if we are testers then why enforce any kind of punishment no matter how imbalanced it is? You can't be one or the other you either don't want people to abuse bugs or you do.

Bug abuse is justified as part of game development then this thread and any others like it are utterly pointless.
Also note people with 'moral' viewpoints against bug abuse are probably lolcows/scrubs and should just be ignored, because in the bigger picture you should abuse bugs even more than you already do to properly iron them out when the game reaches it's real release stage.


tl;dr; With the current way bugs are dealt with this thread is bad.

Then I go back to the first thought.

Fascinating anecdote.

Can you recall one time where you dealt with GMs that were both competent and fair?

I sure as hell cannot.

Can't recall having problems with GM's at all.

Generally I can play my games and just enjoy them, if people are actually being bothered by GM's they were probably doing something that called for the attention in the first place.
