Return of Reckoning

It's pointless because if the Devs/Mods thought it was worth closing, then they would.
They don't need to answer to people on the forums who say "Why is this thread still open"?

Although TBH you're probably trolling me, which I rate you 10/10 because you succeeded. It's way too early in the morning.

Most forums don't allow flaming or trolling to continue, and are pretty quick to shut it down, but as you stated that's based on the leniency of the Devs/Mods. I don't think that someone asking why a particularly toxic thread is still opened; should be considered trolling though. It shows the person is smart enough to realize that likely there isn't going to be any civilized discussion occurring in the thread, and it's better to close it before it gets any more heated than it already is; but that's just my personal opinion

That's fair enough.

I just find threads such as this one very entertaining. The more heated they get, the more entertaining

Really funny:
with their internet alter egos most people want evening/freetime anomy, so that "their voice gets heard"; but IRL they prefer to be quiet and choose the tyranny whenever it is promising them a "stable and secure" environment...

Seems like the one is the compensation for the other.

The only reason for making accusations publicly would be an attempt to embarrass or discredit a fellow player in the court of public (server) opinion. If you believe someone is actually cheating, the people who are going to do something about it aren't your fellow players, it's the devs/gm staff. They are the ones who need to know.

Anyone who kills me is cheating, anyone I kill it's because of skill.

Totally agree Suzu, Well Said - Players incriminating other players for cheating is just petty and does no one any good. Leave these matters to the Devs to sort out. Bans for cheating have clearly been delegated by the Devs so there is no reason to believe they won't enforce action against players looking to gain competitive advantage over others via illegitimate means.

The real travesty in all this is that our wonderful volunteer Dev team has to actually spend energy and resources policing fellow gamers who can't control themselves and compete fairly and honestly. Instead of spending their time improving this wonderful game and releasing great new T3+ content, they have to scour records and identify exploiters who monopolized bugs to achieve ridiculous gear/pot/tali gains over everyone else.

Dark Days!
