Bullying

[MapleMan]

I personally would like to know who is responsible for stopping bullying on this game, i am an avid player, i have never got podded by another player but that doesnt mean it doesnt happen and just cause i dont have a screenshot and timestamped proof of it happening doesnt mean it doesnt. i have placed several messages to several GM's, on the game and on the forums, i have yet to hear back. is this because no one is going to do anything about it, and if your not then i think we are entitled to an explanation. i have several clan memeber complaining of a pilot terrorizing them for bounty, and they were told if they dont want to be fair game dont turn on pirate mode, okay well lets think a sec.......why put a pirate mode (aka PVP mode) to let players that are up to 40+ lvls above another person rampage them, thats kind of a nice way of showing your loyal players you care, "here you go, go ahead and pvp each other, when some blockhead 40 lvls above you kills you dont complain cause its your fault that they are douchebags". why are the new players being ganged on by seasoned pilots for fun then the GM wont do anything about it? its not really a good way to keep people playing. there are how many thousands of useless dead players out there cause they either got bored, or cause they got PVPed to death by someone who was being a bully. WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP? id really like to know.


to all those who agree post experiences or comments on your advice for these GM's, all others who want to post dumb stuff on here or be a total tool and make fun of me or whoever keep it to yourself no one cares.

U make me sick, gosh it says own risk, haven't u learned anything? Are you truly that un-experienced in this game??? the PM aka Pod Me Mode, says pod me, simple! Everyone get's podding no need to whine, huh? I may get ganged by 5-6 reds I do not complain, most doesn't only ones that get angry are the ones that doesn't knwo the games rule, it's a pvp aka pve game, player vs player doesn't mean 1v1, might as well mean 5v1, it doesn't say what lvl of tech needed for a pvp, fair not fair!

if this high ranked player is using same system ship and tech then he has no advantage over the lower levels he is killing so simple rule there is dont turn pirate mode on, as soon as you turn pirate mode on you accept then fact you can and will be podded at anytime, no other game restricts pvp so why should this game be any different, simple thing is if you dont want to get podded DONT TURN PIRATE MODE ON, if your friends have bounty then they most have been podding other players too

I'm also adding here, it is told when anyone put PM on, it is at your own risk, if you or/and others get so to say "bullied" then simply do NOT turn your Pirate Mode on.

Leaving notes with GM's is not the only way to bring some issue forward, please file a ticket of report, but also before any report, make sure you have the proof in form of a clear screenshot where all the chat is visible, and including always Timestamp, F11.

Without screenshot, or video proof of repeated attacks, and also screenshots of your history, is tho requested before any action can be taken.

We do not act upon wordily reports, that is not a proof, and anyone who don't like some other player can make up billion of storys, I don't mean you make up yours, but telling this mainly so you'll understand why proof is needed.

A friend of mine said, he's a high level player in another server there is no rule for it... everyone does it, the only rule there was PM= Pod Me, Read= Dead... but it was some time ago

I find it sick judging this person,

I think he got a point by getting bullied by people from rank 80.

People from rank 80 should leave the lower ranks alone and not be so bounty hunting...

so pbhuh so you're saying it's ok if 10 lvl 80 player just came pod me? OK that would be rude, but why protect low lvl players? Yes I do not do it my self, but I did never agree with that rule, all was follow the simplest!
it doesn't count for any lvl to be protected, high nor low, and yes you're protected when you're lvl (-)10

We should sticky one of these threads to the top so the newbies don't spam out the forum with this stuff

Put blunt if you're in pvp mode then you run the risk of getting shot, fair or not. I don't necessarily agree with a high ranking player(s) going into a lower system and podding new players, then again not everyone sees it the same way I do. It's the same as driving on a busy road. You're bound to run into the odd idiot here and there, no body likes 'em but that's just how they are so either stop going on the road in the first place or just learn to deal with it properly.

AND I'll point out, this is the only game I've come across so far where you're actually given the CHOICE of being in pirate mode anywhere in game. No other game does this and you don't HAVE to be in pirate mode at all, it even says quite clearly that pirate mode is at own risk of being podded. Instead of going into pirate mode ever other second just to get podded and complain about it, why don't you just enjoy playing the game and maybe you'll have fun.

Bullying indicates a lack of choice, but you're willingly putting yourselfout there, remember that ^.^

Well I agreed with the most, I never pod low lvls(if not they do something rude, as stealing or swearing at me), but it's quit annoying when low lvl players comes and complain, and might change stuff, it happened to many times, changed the good stuff's and made it worse, I rly hate it when they complain about these silly things.
The best example is the Sniper Class ships.
or how about the defender that can't use it's items where ever it wants?

 

[Adrana]

Yes I must agree with Ct here, you cannot be bulled if you do not switch the Pirate Mode on.
So it is your own choice if you insist of turning it back on after getting podded.
I do not accept either high level and tech ships podding the lower levels, but it is your own risk.

You have the choice if you will get bulled or not, so work from that, and make a better choice next time, and instead of switching PM back, keep out of it.

Remember that it is your OWN choice, and OWN risk.

Well bullying exists in any game and cannot be gotten rid of.
However, PG, like no other game as someone pointed out, gives you the choice to avoid it, simply DON"T turn Pirate Mode on. See, PM does not have many advantages, its meant to be there in case the pilot is bored and wants to have some fun or for challenge maybe.

It only got that 5% experience bonus if im right and its really not worth it. See it this way, if you normally need 60 mins to get to the next lvl, you are only saving 3 mins with PM on, not really worth it as you might lose a lot more cry during those 57 mins than you can make in 3 mins.

I agree. Also you will never get Extra EXP for turning Bully Me Mode on; Only if you have bounty 5% more EXP happens.

ok right this is now getting way out of perportion why are people moaning about being podded? if a big players say a draco ship comes and pods a gemini ship yes thats in my eyes noob podding as the draco ship has an insane advantage and the draco pilot should be ashamed and a noob for doing so!
but are people moaning because there getting beat gemini vs gemini? or draco vs draco?
the thing i find funniest people moan about loosing cryo oh no! but its only cryo u can grind it back quickly
also if a 1 system up ship comes and starts pushing u about get 4-6 system ships below that higher ship and smack apples out of them!

all it is these days is players get attacked > MOAN!

but in my opinion it should be get attacked > fight back

If anything, please file a ticket the formal way, I am now locking this topic, it is repetitive, and there are many topics already on this same issue.

Before it gets out of hands.
