Medallion / Devastator Wipe

[Azarael]

Please stop catering to Order players. Its very unfair.

Please stop peddling accusations of bias with zero support - it's very unfair.

No seriously, you have no idea how old this is getting. Put up or shut up.

What if we add Medalls on kills outside of keeps and make a point system for killing in the keep

[GreenWolf2471]

Can we start fourm & game banning people who are rude and smacking developers on the forums, seriously if it starts being abuse instead of reporting bugs. 3 warning system before ban?

Idea for a fix: what about if keeps didn't give medallions only influence, renown and experience. Then player kills give the medallions so that fighting is required and it will naturally gravitate towards objectives which give more rewards.

I have no objections (obviously) but there's a certain kind of mind which believes that forum banning troublemakers, trolls and slanderers validates their accusations. This is why I take pains to respond, but when one's responses are flat out ignored...

Azarael i edited my post above, what do you think of possible fix?

"(Keep postern doors don't work on the Destruction side, yes we prefer Order )"

Here is some proof taken straight from yesterday's update and suddenly reworded today to cover the tracks. Sure the eyes were rolled, but if it wasn't true, why remove it?
Seriously though, what's sad is that was all you took away from what I had previously written. Look at the other stuff man, not just what makes you angry. I understand the frustration all these opinions bring in a situation like this, but don't take it out on me. I'm not the enemy.

A lot of people have been proposing similar fixes both on the forums and internally. While I'm not saying that we won't eventually resort to this, a problem with this is that suddenly the keep takes lose all purpose; the aim is, instead, to fight for as long as possible at a keep or BO in order to maximise the bonus medallions gained from the passive drop / xp aura - to the extent that it's wiser to pull off a keep you've just wiped and allow the defenders to return to it than it is to take it.

On some level, I'll forgive you this. I didn't post that changelog, another member of staff (who plays Destruction) did, and it has widely been panned as being a VERY, VERY bad idea. It is not serious - I thought that was a given - but was a mockery of how tiresome the "devs favour order!" chanting is getting. I've given my reasons as to why we don't favour any particular faction. If they're not good enough for people, that's fine, but there had better be damn good reasons and evidence supplied if people think they can accuse the developers of Order bias from this point. That changelog isn't one of them.

As for why it was removed? Precisely because it was being quoted in game, out of context, as proof that we admitted favouring Order.

It's getting to the point that every action we take, if it affects Destruction, has to be judged to make sure it can't possibly be read as favouring Order. The worst part is, none of us have the slightest idea how this crap started, but now we can't get rid of it.

You shouldn't care about it. People who have a brain know that you're not favoring any side.
Keep up the good work. We can't get everything right from the get go right?

It started with Mythic devs. Unfortunately, clueless people think that since those devs played order (they did, although im not saying they FAVORED order) then RoR also play/favor order.

As i said, clueless. Anyway, you shouldn't pay attention to these ungrateful excuses of human beings. If it weren't for you guys, these people would be staring at their screens for hours without doing anything and then go to bed crying and missing WAR.
