Suggestion : the creation of a new Forum/forums reserved to all complaints about the Game.

Hi

as the title says,

I would suggest the Moderators to create a new Forum/s reserved to all complaints regarding Game dynamics, Tech/lag issues, etc.

So anytime someone starts a thread about these arguments, it will be moved by Moderators into this new Forum/s (there could be a forum reserved to those complaining about loots, and another forum reserved for complaints on technical issues, including lag : since these 2 categories are by far the main targets of all complaints currently expressed. And also a 3rd forum for other complaints).

In these way the related discussion will be placed in the proper place, while currently all threads made by unsatisfied players pop up chaotically , here and there.



"You have something that you hate about the game ?" , "You want to leave the game because of... ? " , "You feel 'ripped off' ? " :

OK, there will be a dedicated place , while the other sections will continue clean and more ordered

Yes, sure : some threads should be moved by Moderators into those dedicated sections.

But in my previous message I was mostly referring to the fact that, here and there in many other Forum sections, there are threads made by "angry/unsatisfied" players, that are just little or not constructive at all .

I would like to create a new Forum/forums just for those "angry threads".

i like the idea.
sometimes i am ranting, too.
so if i feel the urge to do so, then i can go to the "rant" subcategory and vent off a little.

and as long as i am happy/pleased/at least not pissed, i can hide the "rant" subcategory and dont get my gaming poisoned.

let us be constructive and call the category "constructive critics".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This means that the content posted in these forums by some Users, if deemed damaging/defamatory towards MindArk, will lead to the ban of the account of the related Users/Players.

I guess that also the policy of the Moderators of these Forums will adapt to these new Game rules released by MindArk...

I happened to quote 8.k last week, it has not changed in the last update.

some are used to such regulations by their government, depending which state they live in.
for those players such regulations may seem just, since they maybe just dont know it different.

usually only those in a weak legal or moral position have to formulate such strict rules to keep an upper hand.
i find it is sad that Mindark feels to be in such a position.

personally, i am lucky to know it different and therefor i do think that -beside the right of a company to formulate rules of conduct- the strictness of those passages marked red is treason to the ideals of free speech of the european union, where Mindark comes from and resides in.

PE is also aviable to countries with weaker civil rights. i would endorse MA to transport some ideals they (hopefully) stand for. MA dont need to, but MA could.

be a positive example.
respect players.
respect cutomers.
respect ideals.
and players: be constructive, if you have something to say.

The recent privacy policy/tos changes are a string of many other privacy policy changes - https://www.seattletimes.com/business/getting-a-flood-of-privacy-policy-updates-dont-ignore-them/

All of the sections you marked in red have been part of the Entropia Universe Tou/EULA for many years, they are not new.

So technically his post is innacurate information about MindArk and is a violation of the EULA.

actually there is a forum where you can bitch as much as you want, but i think the problem is the same as calypso vs. MA's partner planets, some people just don't bother to even check it out.

and honestly, i'd prefer if there wouldn't be any reasons to bitch about at all. sad story is that mindark creates new reasons faster than people can finish bitching about old ones, and additionally they seem to listen as much as my empty bottle of beer. so, how in hell could we ever stop to complain?

this universe is drama by design, and it's not a technical issue, i'm afraid. rather seems like their code of conduct...
