People are really taking this add-on situation too lightly

General Discussion
#1

It is a known fact that, right now, an overwhelming majority of the community are using add-ons.

Yet I keep hearing, “You knew the risk and still you chose to use add-ons.”

The argument is moot. Why? Because too many people are using add-ons right now. We now have a community where an overwhelming number of people are using add-ons where add-ons are not entirely supported, yet not ‘banned’ officially either.

It means they are in a grey area right now. On top of this, add-ons are not approved or even looked at by IMC until one is confirmed to be an exploit that needs to be patched.

Why is that a problem? How much freedom does an add-on dev have with their add-ons? Could someone, just for fun, make an add-on that does things in the background you do not know about which can result in your account being banned?

It’s tinfoil hat stuff for sure, but can it happen or can’t it happen? I would assume it possible.

Even if the add-on dev’s intent was not to cause harm, could something that seems harmless to us actually result in us being banned over it? What happens if we end up with a wave of innocent players being wrongfully banned in a game that’s already struggling to stay alive?

With add-on security and loopholes already being discovered, IMC not monitoring these add-ons and the community just spreading them around and using them under the assumption that they are okay going off of IMC’s vague definition on what is okay, is it really okay to simply accuse the gamer of being at fault here?

If everyone was encouraged to uninstall their add-ons, it would make a lot of angry people.

So we all know that there’s a grey area. We also don’t know what is really in these add-ons we are installing (I assume they are all made with “good intent”) and we only have assumptions on which ones are okay beyond what IMC has said is okay, “Exp viewer” and the map add-on for example.

I’m not a fear monger and I was also not banned. I am speaking only out of concern here. There are too many people using add-ons to simply laugh and call someone stupid for being banned over using an add-on because not all add-ons are easy for us to determine if they are “legal” to use. They may be completely fine to us.

I’ve dropped my add-ons except the 2 that IMC has said are okay: Map add-on and exp viewer. Until IMC confirms any others are okay, I will stick to these. Conveniences are not worth an account ban to me.

To be fair people are saying “i have been banned for using addons” which no one can confirm. The IMC post said you could also be banned pending on your status with steam, for all we know the people complaining about bans are full of ■■■■ and got banned for something steam related.

I use a few addons and as of this morning i was fine. It’s pretty easy to dictate which addons would be safe via common sense.

I just wish they would build in those 2 addons into the game. Those features should be there anyways. Im also a little irritated with IMC right now. How hard is it for a dev to take 30 minutes to look at the addons out there and say once and for all this addon is fine or this other addon isnt. Its not like theres 100s of them.

You just wrote an entire post calling westerners stupid, classifying our entire culture as “dumb”.

Then, you went further to pass off any of the issues that ToS has and attempt to point out how “dumbed down it is compared to RO” and pointed out that we still can’t play this game without a guide/aid.

Then you suggested they shut the forums down because apparently stopping all players from being allowed to communicate with the each other and the devs will make ToS successful and not piss everyone off.

If you don’t understand why your post was retarded, then I can’t help you. Perhaps you should smash your keyboard.

Stopped reading there, everything you’ve said up to this point and beyond has been made irrelevant due to your sexism

Add-ons or not, give credit to those that take their time to make the game a more enjoyable experience than originally delivered. You will have those with malicious intentions and solving those issues will always harm the good guy in some way.

Personally, I’m against majority of the add-ons as it is TMI and spoils the game. To each, their own.

I think IMC need doing green list of allowed addons… now the situation is very tense, many people at risk.
