1) 2k hour vet weekend admins. 2) /report 20 votes auto 3) Are sunderers balanced? short solution.

I'm away from the game. Yet want to help. Miss the game when I see screenshots.
So just be glad you get to play.

Lets just go over short solutions; so the devs can move past this sunderer update to something else.
& remind the devs that other methods for banning the fly bus; is ness for keeping 100's of players morale.

1) " The flying bus just makes new accounts ".
When I use to play; I encountered this; yet seems it's getting worst from reddit videos.

You can't " wait for the devs to ban "
because; the big evening hour fights depend on the ban before the fight; not hours after.

So the only solution is to have player mods with ban functions; but the devs don't want to deal with false trolls bans. Yet how many 2k hour vets are going to falsley ban someone? 9 out of 10 wouldn't. Then you just replace that 1 who is a troll.

2) The other solution was a /report voting system of 15 to 20 votes gets someone banned. How unlikely would that get abused? Meaning a outfit was able to ask 15 to 20 people to falsely ban someone? Twice per month is the ratio. If that.

3) IP Bans aren't working? From VPN's? So these are the only solutions?

Summary: is saving the morale of 1000's of people across 2 to 3 servers. For evening hours esp. Worth dealing with a handfold or less of troll bans; from 2k vet mods; per month? Yes.

Else a voting system with even less chance for troll unjust bans.
That's the solution for banning the flying bus; immediately before the big fight; not after.
Have 20 (twenty) vets; sign up; 2k hour vets; per server. Known to be online Wednesday to Sunday evenings.

Save 1,000's morale; risk a few unjust troll bans.
Replace a few admins per month. Solved.




As far as the actual sunderer update; I've been gone for that; yet I do believe people are offering way too lengthy of words for the devs to balance. If it hasn't been balanced already. They should suggest short solutions. How to fix with 10 words or less. Per module. Ect.

Yet seems the flying bus situation is worst than sunderer balance. So if the devs are fine with a Mentor system; theirs no reason they shouldn't be fine with a player admin system. Also how many 2k vets are gonna risk trolling someone who's not a hacker; very very few.

Bump. Was a issue when I left 3 to 5 months ago:
New player pop was growing then; by the hundreds; then morale was ruined over a number of evening weeks.
Right before I left March; Wednesday night had 120 verse 120 verse 120 Emerald. That's pop boom. Then hacker went on following days and ruined that surge of players.

It's going to have to be player addressed; if VPN bans aren't a good enough solution.

Honestly at this rate; addressing 4 people per month, who were troll banned by one of the twenty 2k hour vet; evening hour admins. Per server. Seems like less work than a dev having to ban the same 2 flying bus hackers 20 times per month.

Plus the dev bans are hours late. The player admin sign up bans won't be, nor would the player voting system bans.

Honestly if this was dealt with before June; you'd have steady 160 verse 160 verse 160 Emerald right now.
Since that was a Wednesday evening I saw 120vs120vs120, Weekend might even have been 200vs200vs200 today.
