And how did that work out for them hmmm? Also I'm assuming you weren't around for the in-game origins of the new Salem devs. They were exactly the type of person you are attempting to decry here. The more you know huh...

You're too delicate snowflake. The real world is a dark and hideous place, if you're trying to hide from that reality here is not the place. You can't control the actions of others, the only thing you can control is your reaction. Being resilient to toxicity is very different from being a part of it.

One thing that always amuses me is the fact people don't even know or understand what the swastika is and what it really is supposed to represent. The ignorant always relate it to Hitler when really it has nothing to do with Hitler. He just took the symbol and distorted it towards his own ends.

As a buddist, I am pretty aware what it means. However, it has been highly stereotyped with Hitler because people tend to remember the negative things first.

That was directed towards the TC as well as the people in game who are dropping it on people's front lawn. It's rather unfortunate though that the majority of people don't know it's meaning and it's become seen as something that it is not.

Haven is just like real life:

Sometimes you meet some people that barely deserve the oxygen they consume.

Sometimes you meet amazing people.

Life goes on (as long as yours is not taken) :P

So your major complaints are that the game permits any amount of time to be sunk into it without locking people out and that people can use their time to do things that you consider shitty. I'm very much of the opinion that time gates are great and that players should be permitted to play as much as they want but major progress and milestones should be locked by convenient time gates that create a general flow for the game. So by that definition I'm opposed to your idea that players should be locked out of the game because you're not fond of being rammed. That said, I agree that the ram system kinda blows hard and siege needs to be reworked. In fact, so do a lot of players and the devs. This isn't a new idea and it's being explored thoroughly for the game already. I'm not sure what else there is to say on the subject. Sorry you got rammed over the holidays but hey, that's life in Haven. Things will likely change, for better or worse, in coming updates probably. Good luck and have fun.

Nobody got rammed. I found the ram outside the OP's village with three hours to spare, but only because I came home early Christmas evening to make sure my friend didn't miss a day of ram checks (Australian time advantage). Musicwarrior is venting that there's people in this game who only look forward to Christmas because it's their best chance to steal shit. In real life, those kinds of people are scumbags. Doing it in a game makes them virtual scumbags.
