Occupy Stormreach grows!

[TDarkchylde]

I'm afriad I have to ask everyone to leave the wayfinder bridge and go to your homes. I have a permit from Stormreach city counsel to start a new protest on the Wayfinder bridge:

*Exploiters occupy stormreach!*

Day 1 we'll need an exploiter to start a guild, named something snappy: I suggest "Turbine made me do it" or "if they leave the keys in the car I should be allowed to take it"


Oh wait I'm being told some information....

Whats that? They can't?
Because?
Oh I see..
two extra weeks?
Okay I'll tell them...

Alright never mind go back to your sit in, apparently the exploiters can't make it for two more weeks.

...What do exploiters even have to do with this thread? Seriously. Quit trying to make drama.

Back on topic, can't believe we've already entered Day 6. Doesn't feel like that long, but I guess time flies when you're having fun.

Every few weeks we suffer an Ironclanaclysm of threads and responses that pollute the forum. Sorta like red tide.

Last time I checked the Bridge occupation has absolutely nothing to do with the exploits.
It's about a change in how Hearts of Woods are earned in the upcoming update.

Please don't try to tie both together, as they are totally separate things.

I would post how happy I was to join your Update 20 guild in order to show solidarity with you. But unfortunately from what I hear Turbine is banning people for up to 30 days who talk about occupy in-game. I'd post about how I agree with what you stand for but if I did so publicly on this forum I might receive a forum banning like the people did in-game for talking about Occupy in chat channels and on LFG tabs. So instead of posting a positive message about what a great thing you are doing I will just silently move on without thanking you.

Who spam about occupy in-game, I guess? At least on Wayfinder no player ever spammed. And banning players who are online but do nothing would be some kind of turbid redundancy - which I personally don't believe this really happened or ever will. Beyond that it would create martyrs, so I don't think Turbine would act like that.

No, the bans had nothing to do with spam. People were banned for speaking about occupy, and no other confounding factors.

Don't believe everything you hear. People are spreading drama. Exploiters are having their bans extended, and are trying to misuse the occasion, for which we initially gathered on the bridge.

I stood on the bridge for 3 days, I've spread the issue on other servers, I've been active with the media, and I remained reasonable and level-headed. I've faced no issues and doubt you would as well.
------------------------------------------------------------

Beyond that, I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful times, and say that I'm packing up and leaving Wayfinder for now as well. We didn't get exactly what we came for, but this is no longer the most efficient use of our time and resources, IMO. I would encourage everyone who still cares for the issue to write detailed, constructive posts in the relevant Lammy thread. Use the opportunity while we have it. I'm ready to be back on the bridge if things go south again, but I don't believe this is necessary any longer.

Now let's go enjoy Mabar and make those cheaters jealous Feel free to seek me out on Ghallanda if you want to quest together.

No, it is absolutely 100% true. There have been multiple people banned in relation to occupy stormreach and NOTHING to do with dupeploition.

[Ausdoerrt]

No, it is absolutely 100% true. There have been multiple people banned in relation to occupy stormreach and NOTHING to do with dupeploition.

This is something I would only believe on factual, detailed evidence, i.e. copy of the ban description, details what they did and how, proof that what they did wasn't malicious, and that they weren't involve in the exploit.

[NaturalHazard]

No, it is absolutely 100% true. There have been multiple people banned in relation to occupy stormreach and NOTHING to do with dupeploition.

Why would they do this? Wouldn't it just make them look bad/worse?

[RedOrm]

There's currently about 30 people on the bridge, spread over 3 instances. Most of them have been there since at least the weekend. Doesn't look like standing there is a bannable offense...
So yea, I'd need some hard data on bans before I'm willing to believe Turbine is THAT stupid.

Indeed, everyone I know is getting banned!

























See, without proof this is just silly. Until I see some official confirmation on this, you're just a drama queen.

[Flavilandile]

If true and if it can be proved, it's something that has to be leaked on all those nice website that did report the news that there was a Bridge occupation so that everybody knows how Turbine handle it's customers.

[Qhualor]

ive been on the bridge since Saturday. im still here and I have been actively voicing my opinion about the TR changes. rumors are just rumors.

http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/10...-game-protest/ - not directly about the sit-in, but inspired by it and it's good, that the discussion about it goes on.

[Ausdoerrt]

Yeah, I'm sure that's what game them the idea in the first place

[Schaden_freude]

Occupy is yesterday's news. Exploitation is hot right now.

Did you actually obtain that permit legally, or did you print off some copies using the dupe-o-matic 5000?

Probably got it out of a bag he/she found in a guild chest...

Also... Don't let Turbine distract you with Mabar like a baby with a silver rattle. It's much more fun to stand on a bridge and watch Memnir the Dancing Bear!
