Drama in RoM

OK. So, I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this but here we go.
So lately, I've been seeing a lot of rants mostly pertaining to gold sellers, endgame drama, and diamonds and hackers.

And now for a story. I left RoM while back around 5-6 months ago due to the fact the i finally got a life. Recently though my world has gone to crap and i just needed something to get my mind off of matters at hand. And so here i was, chilling, when i stumbled across runes of magic for the first time in months. I decide to check out the forums just to see how much has changed. and good gosh was i in for a surprise. all i can wonder is; what happened to you guys? we used to all get along so well but now.....? so here i am, always the optimist, hoping to get things back to the way they were. and i have decided i want to address some issues. :grumble:

1) Gold Sellers.

okay c'mon guys seriously? gold sellers were always a problem and we all know that so why is now so different? :?: ignore a dog long enough and eventually it'll stop barking/begging whatever you all want to say. same thing applies here. just ignore them.

2)endgame
as it goes, unfortunately not everyone can be endgame so i don't see why so many people can't understand that. to all the lowbies out there, and to quote someone out there that said this at one time or another, you don't have to look your best to be the best. basically stop trying so hard. you don't have to have to best and strongest gear in-game to have fun. of course that doesn't apply to everyone, i mean if your a quick learner and can carry your own wieght in the game and maybe get some help from others because as of now it doesn't look like a bright future for many, then more power to you.

3) diamonds.
don't bite off more than you can chew. so in other words if you cant afford it don't buy it. the diamond sellers will catch on if they wanna keep business going. of course dia sellers if you wanna stonewall for an outrageous price, go for it. :thumbsup: and probably the most important

4) hackers
seriously people don't let them ruin a great gaming experience for you. there was, is, and always will be hackers. and just because a certain showoff decided to throw a hissy fit because his momma didn't serve him his morning bowl of cornflakes doesn't mean things should change. wait until the RoM smoothes things out and life goes on. don't give them their fifteen minutes of glory or the same thing is just gonna keep happening over and over and over and over and over,,,, you all get the point.

seeing you all like this makes me sick :puke: why can't e all just get along like we used to :beer: ? helping people :cookie: used to be something you could enjoy at one point. and I'm sure that lots of people are going to have things to say like "its all gameforge they messed it up," or "things like hacking cant be fixed with a patch, they have to get right to the center of the problem and blah blah blah." but why not focus on the things we can do to help? we do us and we let them do them and once again the world is a better place ;) well at least RoM is anyhow.

and just wanna give a shout out to all my former guildies in Zato, Pheonix, and afterdark. most know me on artemis and dance, and no not the same dance as reni.

Entire server economies were completely destroyed in days by a few individuals. People with unlegit Clean T25 gear one shotting the most difficult bosses in game and hitting for millions of damage in siege.

That should give you an idea of why things are not the same as before.

thanks for the feedback. zid i must admit that kinda stung since i always respected you in the time i played but what can you do right? thanks to gigi and zaiv too. sorry if you all got the impression i was trying to start something but once again i wrote this at 3 in the morning so you kno.. it happens. ruisen i know i've seen whats been going on since tungsten and garsak was it? hacked the game but hey i guess when they say its not worth attempting to salvage the situation, they meant it. guess its about time i moved on too right? well that'll be all from me. hope i can get in a last goodbye before i go. no hard feeling right?

They have to keep banning all those individuals, no if or buts, no but i didn't know that T25 weapon was not legit, oh i didn't know those 10 orange stats were duped , i only paid like 2M each.

Ban them all, ban them forever and clean out the game, no need to have these people in game.

No pity for losers

okay c'mon guys seriously? gold sellers were always a problem and we all know that so why is now so different? :?: ignore a dog long enough and eventually it'll stop barking/begging whatever you all want to say. same thing applies here. just ignore them.


The problem with the gold sellers used to be that they were just annoying but nothing was happening to them. I think I saw several spammers that went a few months before they were gone. And they were spamming world chat regularly (I remember one day seeing 4 of them at once) instead of just staying in Logar or Varanas doing zone shouts. Then they were using hacked accounts. This is why people were griping so hard about getting rid of them.

2)endgame
as it goes, unfortunately not everyone can be endgame so i don't see why so many people can't understand that. to all the lowbies out there, and to quote someone out there that said this at one time or another, you don't have to look your best to be the best. basically stop trying so hard. you don't have to have to best and strongest gear in-game to have fun. of course that doesn't apply to everyone, i mean if your a quick learner and can carry your own wieght in the game and maybe get some help from others because as of now it doesn't look like a bright future for many, then more power to you.


I agree with you here. Problem is some of the new players that come into this game are used to other MMOs where they powerlevel a toon and try to get the highest bit of content just to say that they can do it. When they can't find people to PL them or want to run instances with them because they don't know any other strategy but "run and burn", they start raging on others or trying to call people out in world about being crappy players. The other half of it is that many of the newer toons are alts of people or they are rerolling, and they do not want to spend all that time running the same quests again. They want to get their toon up quickly and get ready for siege. It would be nice if there were main class-specific quests so that there was a bit of uniqueness if you decided to reroll.

3) diamonds.
don't bite off more than you can chew. so in other words if you cant afford it don't buy it. the diamond sellers will catch on if they wanna keep business going. of course dia sellers if you wanna stonewall for an outrageous price, go for it. :thumbsup: and probably the most important

It would be nice if the prices of dias could be dropped as quickly as they inflated, but let's be realistic about this. If someone buys all the dias on a server and then resells them other players, the economy has just been jacked. At that point some of the players will resell at a higher price because now you get into a high demand/low supply situation. The only way to quickly turn around the dia prices would be to flood the AH with cheap dias. Otherwise it's going to take a lot of time.

4) hackers
seriously people don't let them ruin a great gaming experience for you. there was, is, and always will be hackers. and just because a certain showoff decided to throw a hissy fit because his momma didn't serve him his morning bowl of cornflakes doesn't mean things should change. wait until the RoM smoothes things out and life goes on. don't give them their fifteen minutes of glory or the same thing is just gonna keep happening over and over and over and over and over,,,, you all get the point.

1 or 2 people hacking a game can cause problems, but are not too difficult to get over. The bigger problem was that these few people spread all their hacked stuff to many others, which then caused an imbalance in the game. This made for a less enjoyable experience for everyone else. To put it in perspective, if you were only able to run KBN easy with a group but then gained hacked gear/stats/gold/whatever very cheaply so that now you can solo world bosses you've just created an imbalance. Now you can farm them for proofs, sell the proofs or stats from proofs at high prices, gear up alts, buy and sell dias, control a part of the AH market, etc. Now it's no longer a simple matter of just having hacked gear; you now have a handful of players that can control the game as a result of someone else's hacking. It takes the fun out of having to work hard for something only to see a group just take over the game.

seeing you all like this makes me sick :puke: why can't e all just get along like we used to :beer: ? helping people :cookie: used to be something you could enjoy at one point. and I'm sure that lots of people are going to have things to say like "its all gameforge they messed it up," or "things like hacking cant be fixed with a patch, they have to get right to the center of the problem and blah blah blah." but why not focus on the things we can do to help? we do us and we let them do them and once again the world is a better place ;) well at least RoM is anyhow.


If you're on the Reni server, look me up online. I do what I can to help others but also request help when I need it (Zid I still owe you some t9s and puris!!!). Spread the love to others and you'll see it work. Practice what you're suggesting as well and you'll see less of the QQing (although those of us that are Disturbed will still troll with the best of them!).
