Can you explain why you reported him? Did he disrupt your gameplay somehow? I’m not saying it’s not right, just wondering about your reason

Enlarging the font is not allowed. See GM’s reply. So I’m reporting everyone who makes their fonts large.

I did’t asked allowed it or not. I just asked why YOU report him, what’s your reason? I can understand somehow the guy that reported another guy who used it in Shout, buy what that guy did to you? I’m not arguing, just trying to understand you.

Look what Max did; now this is turning into a witch hunt to perm ban as many players as possible who increase the font size by +2 before it’s patched.

Are you his friend or the player?
Why do YOU care so much?
This is a report forum hence he is being reported.

No, i don’t care at all about this guy future. I did’t said anything bad to you, and I did’t say you’re doing right or wrong. I’m not arguing about anything with you. As i said before i’m trying to understand your behavior. You simply have no reason for doing this in my opinion, hence I don’t understand -> I ask. I truly trying to understand you.

He was right to report him, that guy is using an exploit to enlarge his font and it’s wrong!

IMC has to be strict on this otherwise we will continue to see idiots use exploits which some can harm others like the one which allowed to break guilds!

And do not put the fault on IMC for not protecting enough their code even the best protected website in the world will have flaws in their codes but that doesn’ t mean people should abuse those them for their own vicious enjoyment.

As long as there are threads like this without Staff_Max’s commenting on handing perma bans to these scumbags, I don’t agree with your sentiment:

Handing that previous permaban probably without even knowing that you don’t need to alter the game files in any way wasn’t really nice deed. Yes, that player deserved a punishment but nothing that severe. While people like that guy on the thread I linked remain without any comments from the CMs. I hate to admit but I find the handling of these two cases rather lacking :disappointed:

Since all the staffs have been tagged on these cases multiple times already, I’ll just tag @Staff_Julie and @Marikim as a protest (because I don’t think tagging any current CMs has any significant chances of them commenting on matters it seems).

Hello @Yellow Savior!!

I’ve blocked “Hurtado” already for permanent period. thank you @Yellow so much for reporting us.

Your faithfully, STAFF_MAX

It’s incredibly disheartening that IMC wastes time banning players that paste a chunk of text into the chat window and do not ban players that buy gold. Not to mention that a forum to name and shame players like this is rather unprofessional.

Absolutely disgusting.

This (the use of big and/or colored text) is just plain bad UX and an obvious abuse of something that needs to be fixed.

With the number of high priority issues IMC is tackling right now, this probably is somewhere a bit down the pipeline so banning people to serve as a lesson for others appears to be the temporary solution.

Also, this issue is clearly covered by TOS’ ToS:

You need to report any game errors, bugs and other game play issues to IMC Games. You shall not abuse them for your own benefits nor to cause grievances to others, and pass this information to others who may abuse them for their benefits.

I’ve been trying to warn people about this and PM those I found in-game about the possible consequence of what they’re doing. Whether they oblige or not is up them.

If you even tried to reason that…

“… THIS DOESN’T AFFECT OTHER PLAYER’S GAMEPLAY!”

It actually does, and if it goes unmitigated everyone else will want to use it because their shouts, party invites and shop names wouldn’t noticeable in the flood of huge colored texts others are using.

If this was meant to be a feature, we would have been informed beforehand. It would have been simply usable from the game’s UI.

This is simply an exploit, and an apparently bannable one.

Some people don’t understand the words “NOT ALLOWED”. It doesn’t matter that he’s not disrupting gameplay. It doesn’t matter that you think it’s fine. IT ONLY MATTERS THAT ITS AGAINST THE RULES. Get that through your thick head.

If tomorrow IMC decides that you’re not allowed to say the exact words “I love Justin Bieber”, then ITS NOT ALLOWED. You don’t have a say about it, you can either follow the goddamned rules, or stop playing. EASY.

@Biskee @freebiesguys But don’t you think stuff like this should be more ‘NOT ALLOWED’?: Player buying items through RMT

212 messages and Staff being tagged multiple times, yet I don’t remember seeing any Staff’s comments on that matter, while Max is happily handing permabans on these oh so horrible chat code abusers. On the last comments someone claims that guy is still running free even though he even admitted being guilty on that thread himself. I think they should check their priorities.

People buying from RMTers are harming my gameplay way more than someone wanting slightly bigger font on his !! message :angry:

RMTers sure are a really big problem, but as @freebiesguys have said, “not allowed” is simply “not allowed”.

Just because a bank heist hasn’t been resolved yet caught street thieves should be allowed to roam free?

Big or small violations, they are all NOT allowed. I won’t know why IMC hasn’t acted on that other issue yet, but that doesn’t mean small violations are OK.
