Hello.
In the past I when i visited cyrene with friends, i had unwelcoming experience on cyrene.
The locals are all but friendly, some will be rude and will do all in their power to keep you out of the planet.
Recently i came back to log for some hours at least, spending some time on Cyrene.
Sad to see the planet is still mostly empty because of the local comunity still being the same as it used to be.
In the past it raised me question, how could've they done some of the harder grinds there are on the planet when they had lower gear, and skills than me, not like being resourcefull can help you be efficient.
I mean we're talking to the guys that when i asked about how to make the improved BE parts, they told me to get bent, and either i buy from them or I dont buy it at all cos the parts dont drop anymore, and we found out they still do, but on mobs they werent confortable droping so it was safer to keep lying to all (Boffin upgrade parts if you wonder).
Recently while browsing twitch, something that is kind of a often thing i tend to do, i checked some EU streams as usual, and I saw one of the locals there, kjellings.
And i saw him breaking the rules...
This video clearly shows the non inocent exploiting and possibly they resort to it a whole lot more in the past to get some stuff done.
If it was inocent, if you'd go on past broadcasts of this streamer (twitch.tv/kjellings) you'd see the video there but for some reason on the past broadcasts, it got deleted, this is also the leader of the local soc, Cyreneans.
These guys are also the reason why this planet hasnt developed further, having a non welcoming experience isnt so good, I've had a lot of PM received from mid range players saying they had the exact same experience with the locals, non welcoming and "shady".
So it doesnt take too much to add up, with newplayers they are welcoming perhaps, so they can make 'em buy the stuff they want to sell, but if you step up on the food chain, they will shut all off, fearing they lose the market like they did with the improved BE set.
Its not only once this happen for me to make this conclusion, it happened several times, but for privacy reasons im not going to post names obviously.
Also as you know im not a guy to be shut about this, so i posted on cyrene forum, you can check it here.
Its a bit gutting each time coming back to the game you see new exploiters and new ways to break the game and you try to keep it clean, so obviously, i reported, but support does take its time, by that i mean, doesnt even reply to some 6 month old cases.
However it is just sad the planet devs of Cyrene seem to defend this atitude which, im pretty sure its against the rules, people been banned in the past for doing the exact same, and doesnt set a good example.
The thread got locked cos it started going off track, but if you read it, who really done that to protect themselves?
I tried to politelly present a problem and something that was wrongly done, and I did warn the guy when he was live on twitch, thats how i got the piece of video.
Also there is a case about the Beast ( a mob that spawns @ HUB) that you need to own a coat that is both expensive and time consuming to aquiring depending on how you get it, to have acess to the mob
Interesting thing to notice, was to see one of the locals, Justine, killing this mob over without having the coat, this wasnt even reported by me alone, more witnessed it,
When Kris was inquired about it, he told the person who asked that it would be killable by owning that, so how come the locals get to do what they want on dirty ways?
I do like cyrene as I like most other planets and I want them to prosper,
But a cancerous comunity who will cheap and not set an example will keep the planet empty and not welcoming.
As this case I got more about other stuff.
It is just sad that as I keep putting time to keep the game clean and fair you find more players breaking ToU, and nothing being done, as long as you are "golden flagged" ava in such regard, I dont believe them in loot but it clearly has been seen on these cases.
Otherwise lets face it
Why, with knowledge, MA allows the sale of avatars when it shouldnt be? I could name quite a reasonable ammount of ppl that sold their avatars and high lvl players and all it takes them is a IP trace / Bank account tracking or something of the sort and they can conclude that by themselves.
Alts? Hell i could name an army of them, that are used DAILY to manipulate prices, and clearly is said "you cannot have second avatars for economical advantages.
This however is going off track of the reason i posted this, and can be used for another post some other time.
Thanks for the read,
Hope to see your opinions and if you want to disclose me something in private, feel free to do so, since i keep getting some PM's about these issues.
Forgot to mention
Keep it civilized, its good to have healthy discussions about the state of the game
