Sure. Being able to spend the money and definitely get something is, to many players, preferable to spending the money and never having any guarantee that you will get the thing you want.

And yes, you can raid for 10 weeks in WoW and never see the item you need. Even among its fans, that is one of the most reviled parts of the game. It's not really an idea that other games should be rushing to copy.

When discussing aesthetics? Yes, actually. "Best looking" is inherently a matter of opinion. Disagreeing that Amani are the best is fine, but trying to present your opinion as somehow being more correct is silly.

I've never quite understood the griefing mentality - somehow being glad that you've upset the other person. It makes no sense to me.

Speaking of projection, you seem to be doing a lot of it yourself by assuming that Elin make most players uncomfortable.

Um... we DO have race-specific abilities. They aren't character-defining (which is good; choosing the race you like aesthetically and finding out you picked the "wrong" set of racials sucks), but they definitely exist.

It is a glaringly obvious omission and a severe limitation to the usefulness of these forums. Yes, please.

Having seen this specific idea turned down by devs in multiple games because it was so difficult, I'm not sure YOU understand how it works. Quite a lot of armor has its own 3d structure, rather than just being painted onto the player model; copy-pasting the adjustments doesn't necessarily even work, much less look good.

I mean, yeah, obviously those are not this game. Possibly it's easy in Tera. As I said, I would be happy to be proven wrong. But I do not expect to.

This does not match what I've seen; I don't know if the answer was always wrong, or if rest was changed since that was posted though. Rest appears to cap at half of a level, and it definitely takes more than 11 hours for my characters to reach that amount.

It also seems to accumulate far more slowly at higher levels, so it might not be a simple percentage per hour.

Right, and that is what they did.

I read the whole convo posted below the screenshots. Can you quote which GM comments you thought were inappropriate? I did not see any that even approached rude. The GMs started off diplomatic, and when Garbuk attempted to change the facts and put words in their mouths, they ended the conversation.

I see a player starting with "we don't even know if the guy was hacked" and then trying to change his position to "he was hacked, and so our guild bank was hacked".

If the player was hacked, the hacked player should be contacting En Masse, and he can look into getting the items restored. But that still wouldn't go through Garbuk.

If the player was not hacked, and had permission to take the things he did take from guild bank, then no actionable offense occurred. Stealing a guild bank is pretty obnoxious, but not bannable, as the GMs repeatedly explained.

And no, I didn't see any GM behavior that was anywhere near unacceptable. I saw GMs that attempted to be diplomatic, were consistently clear about the issue, and specifically did not turn the conversation into a fight, despite Garbuk giving them plenty of opportunities.

Also, remember that GMs are not Batman. They do not work by their own rules. A GM confronted with a player who has done a dickish thing that was within the rules is as helpless as a player in the same situation, if he values his job.

Metatron gave such a response multiple times. Woookeemosabei also gave such a response. The only rudeness I see came from Garbuk. Woookeemosabei saying that he does not need to explain how they would handle an unrelated hypothetical situation is not rude nor even snarky, it's simply true.
