[MatronDeWinter]

The following is an excerpt from a conversation I had via PM with monaxe. (for some reason calling himself BLAIRWITCH)

Trade in the event room is pretty silly, I don't recall any place in 1999 T2A where you could freely trade without worrying about theft/death/etc. Granted, in this instance I was going to perform a legitimate trade, it just reminded me of how horribly exploited this is.

I think trading should be removed from these areas.

or..........

remove the safe-rooms altogether, and place sign-up books, or whatever static item you wish to roster people in designated areas around the world, much like we already have with the moongates..

I like this even better, but there would likely be a problem with red players getting attacked before the events, and complaining that they entered it with no equipment, due to being dead.

(personally I am for removing events entirely)

[Sandro]

Alright, then what about a gump that would enter you into said event without having to travel anywhere at all..?

[Populus]

That's the price reds have to pay.

[Derrick]

The removal of the join areas is probably a good idea; however we're not going to be able to get that done right away.

I already had this on the agenda for next patch. You will be able to give another player an item in the even join areas, but you will not be able to exchange goods.

So Let me get this Straight!

Exploits that Take Advantage of People are OK in your mind! but

Exploits that Help People from being Taken Advantage of is a Bad Thing in your Mind?

this truely shows what kind of a person you truely Are!!

Completely irrelevant post based on hasty generalization..

I think you may have mistaken this for the trash talk forum. If you are angry/frustrated about being killed/looted by cA/me, you are more than welcome to take that complaint where it belongs. You only disrupt civil discussion, and obstruct legitimate topics here.

Just Statiing the Facts ... and i can Honestly say that I have Never been Killed or Looted by cA or You at anytime!!

I am just Disgusted with the cA play style (using exploits) and there extortionist Ways!

it seems when someone finds a way to do something in a way that cA can't take advantage of. you go out of your way to try and get it nerfed!

and this is not a Trash Talk .. just me adding in my 2 Cents on the situation!

have a nice Day Sir.

DarkWing... check your keyboard. I think something might be wrong with your caps lock and/or shift key. Weird and totally random letters keep getting capitalized.

This isn't trash talk. I'm just concerned that you might have to send a professional or important email soon and I wouldn't want your faulty keyboard make you look like a buffoon.

Back on topic.

Sounds good.

Ok, so you are angry that forensics is currently inaccurate and should not reveal perma-grey status as it would render your guild (the BPD) fairly pointless.

again .. this is your opinion and that of google chat... nothing official!

we have among our players the ONE person that did the most for the Detective Class during the ERA and beyond!

so who are we to believe? some google chat forum? or the guy that was There?

Anecdotal evidence?

In that case, I am really Ralph Koster, so I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that not only was forensics relatively usless (in that, it did not ever detect perma grey status), but snooping never really revealed you. That was simply a few typos in the official patch notes.

Prove me wrong.

Since you specifically said "nothing official", I would like to add that nowhere in the patch notes does it say anything about forensics detecting perma-grey status. http://www.stratics.com is not "official" or in any way affiliated with Origin/EA. Almost all of the content was added by players, much in the same way you can contribute to wikipedia.com.
