Should GMs play Gemstone?

My opinion is no.

Here is why...

Don't say they need to play to know how to do this and that. Facts are. They have above average gear. db items, padding, etc.. So they based monsters on how well they can hunt.

Also, they have the temptation of corruption. Look at the Casino's. Their employees are not allowed to gamble there.

So what?

One of the biggest problems in Gemstone is the corruption. You don't think so? Well, about every GM\GH\Sage has illegal items. Why do you think ALdrek got fired? He was making\padding\enchanting\strengthening\lightening\altering items for all the GHs\Sages. Plus not flagging them. On top of all that. He didn't charge them Host points for it. So they could go out and sell it for coins.

Now we got all these corrupt GHs\Sages\GMs that have the ultra nice items but don't want to the right thing by turning them in.

What does Simu do about this? Nothing. They can't fire their whole staff and all.

I have personally sent emails to feedback with details on several items. What did they do? Nothing. So now the corruption goes farther.

The person who is responsible for all the actions the staff is Melissa. So, she is the one to blame for allowing this to happen.

I want to know. What is Simutronics going to do about all of this?

Oh wait...Nothing. Seems they are all on the take in one way or another.

What would be a good compromise - since I doubt you'd like a GM helping you who has absolutely no idea of what it's like to be a player...

Simu should give GMs a free player account. That's it. Nothing else. If you wanna be a GM, be one because you want to put your heart and efforts into improving the game and helping people. Stop giving them credits toward free stuff for their characters. That is so completely unfair, imbalanced, and corruptable it's ridiculous.

GM player accounts should be treated exactly like paying customer player accounts. And any GM caught giving anything to their own player gets both their GM and their player accounts permanently removed. GMs should never do anything for their own characters, not even answer their own assists. Nothing. They should be required to get help from another GM.

That's my idea. Works in another game, though in any game, there will always be accusations of favoritism. The difference is, one is just an accusation. The other seems to be the norm.

Roberta - who plays the game where accusations are only that

GM's should be allowed to play. reg
Since we got the attention of the powers that be at Simutronics.

What are you going to do about all those custom items Aldrek made? I mean, everyone else has to earn them. Not just POOF! Self mana heroism pin for you Kulbaen. POOF! 3x incredible crit padded double leathers with NO spell hindrance. Here is the other set that was originally 3x exceptional crit padded to sell BUDDY.

Oh wait. A GH wanting to spend some Gamnehost points...POOF! On the house bud! Not even flagged.

Oh wait. You guys are in denial about that....it never really happened. Aldrek just took a leave of absence to take care of his girlfriends, brothers, godmother.

So what really happened to Gromial. Kinda amazing what he did for some people.

You don't want to have to take all the items out of the hands of your employees that knowingly accepted illegally made items. Hell, half the employees that had them made sold them.

So want to know more? Oh wait. This stuff never really happened. I just imagined it all.

<pinches myself>

Oh, I am not sleeping...Hrm

So why not just remove the items I reported? Oh wait. Maybe because it is one of your friends?

Wow, how much extra income did you make last year?

Then let's talk about this customer service. Outstanding!

I want to see it stopped. I want to see fair treatment. I want to see more GMs like Aephir that will roll play out situations. I want to see the lands come back to life like they was back when I started. I want to see changes that the majority want, not the minorities.

Most of all. I want to log into the lands and have fun. Which I have been doing a lot of lately since they downtweaked the deathvoids.

If you really have a problem. You can IM me at LordEdgeleaf and I will give you the lawyers IM. Simple. How hard is that?

Aah, simple things are the best in my eyes.

Nice to see everyone coming here. But only one that was man enough to reveil his true identity was Mr. Whatley. I respect that. But coming incognito shows fear of us on these boards. Afraid I got some real good dirt on you? Or just scared? I'm not.

Courage. Such a good word. But so few have it anymore.
