    How many Krono this player does or does not have and whether this player bought them with cash or with in game plat is none of your business.

    You need to stop slandering this player and return to the topic you started the thread for, thank you.

    Yes, I can make a new F2P thread (i.e. how Chienne-Guk made a 2nd shrink thread) if Dreamweaver desires.

    He came to my thread with vague arguments and had to defend myself. The problem is he has an interest (Krono market buyer/seller) in not instituting F2P restrictions. Obviously, I thought his in-game persona was more humorous <Miroh Took My Kronos> and took my rebuttal with American tongue-in-cheek. I accept responsibility for the cultural miscommunication.

    This is not true. You first referred to him as one of the great Krono hoarders on the second page of this thread. You couldn't even keep yourself on topic while replying to yourself by the end of the first 2 pages!

    To echo DreadRoberts, "Ugh, please lock."

    Step (1):
    Provoke numerous 1v1's.

    Step (2):
    Passive-aggressively insult anyone who refutes you.

    Step (3)
    Claim victim status when called out for the behavior.

    Step (4):
    Bait the moderator to lock the thread.

    Transparent, and sad.

    Edit and P.S.:
    In this instance, I'm in agreement with the others. Just lock it, already.

    I will ask Dreamweaver to lock this thread and I will start a new F2P restrictions thread in the future.

    People are in kamikaze mode ("I don't mind getting banned as long as I take Benito with me", "nothing to lose") as a result of getting banned on Discord.

    You sure know how to play the victim cards.

    No, that is what they are saying on another forum.

    "I'll probably get banned for writing this but at least I'll take Benito with me."

    "I already got banned on Discord; I don't mind getting banned on the OF."

    PM'd Dreamweaver to lock this thread. We need cooler heads (and not fresh emotions attached to Discord bans) to prevail.

    First, I dont know who "they" are, but whoever "they" are, "they" are right in this instance.

    I honestly don't want anyone banned. But people are letting the raw and fresh emotions of Discord bans escalate their behavior.

    Includes frequent use of Straw Person logical fallacies
    Includes frequent use of the Slothful Induction fallacy
    Combination of multiple logical fallacies, including the Texas sharpshooter.
    Appeal to authority fallacy

    Hmmm, it's almost like following a checklist.

    Certainly predictable and certainly seems intentional... Time and time again.

    EDIT: I mean lets be honest here, all these threads locked or disappearing and they all have one common theme... Benito spinning the thread to the point it goes away or is locked... And for a guy who doesn't even play the game he sure has a lot to say on its forums.

    Yup. Same general pattern every, single time that eventually results in someone's thread getting locked.

    Since it's not being addressed, better if we all simply use the ignore feature.

    Same names from the same shadow community in a coordinated kamikaze attack. I know how some devs feel.
  17. Tegdaian Member

    quick to claim to be the victim, when its his own behavioral patterns that causes the issues.
    Benito, for the love of all that is holy, STOP POSTING. you dont even play this game, go away and quit polluting whats left of the community here with your toxic BS.

    Dreamweaver, PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD!
    also, if you could mute this nuisance of a person from posting any more drivel, it would be AWESOME!

    I have requested that this thread be locked.

    The best policy is not to give air to this shadow group. (They already had a history long before I came to the forums).

    Legend has it. Someone founded the EQ2 Discord but was banned. Since then, he made it his life crusade to antagonize EQ2 with his followers. It looks like newly banned individuals from Discord are following his lead and going full kamikaze as of late.
  19. Zynt Feldon's sock puppet

    "Shadow group" - lol A group comprised by some of the most visible, longest tenured members of both the EQ1 and EQ2 community. At least two of which have owned, oversaw, and operated numerous game forums including one of the, if not the most used EQ2 forum ever created.

    Your request to lock the thread is simply a way for you to try and take control of the fact that you have once again gotten another post derailed and shutdown.

    Lock it. You offer nothing but supposition, forced martyrdom, a slew of fallacies, and a head shake inducing side-show.

    Why would I derail my own thread?

    This shadow group - in full kamikaze fashion - wants me banned. (They can't ban the devs so I become a target of their antagonism).
