    Seriously guys hes pointing out a  problem on the community and moderation of AoC and all you people are doing is strengthing it. Stop being idiots.

    He is telling us about the abuse that occurs on the forums, a review of sort, if you're thinking of buying this game, you sure as hell wouldent want to find this out on your own, so he is saving you, your hard earned  cash.

    I myself however am from the UK and im going to be buying the game myself, just to see for myself, thanks for the information Cubed27.

     

    You're welcome. 

     

    I hope you have better luck with it than a lot of others had

    That funcom forum thread is hilarious. People insisting that getting one shotted is 'working as intended'. Awesomeness.

     

    The people who are saying that are actually being sarcastic.  It all started after someone posted a thread of the "undocumented changes"  included in the patch.

    The fact is.. I just got abused (banned w/o warning) by Funcom for trying to stick up for another upset customer.  I came here to tell my story..no more, no less.   I *thought* maybe I'd get some support over this topic..and I certainly didn't expect to be abused here by a fellow gamer.

    Forums look fine to me only 1-2 people seem to be upset with the latest patch and they did add alot of new stuff into the game. This game gets better almost every week.

     

    Protus...for the love of god man!

     

    It might "APPEAR" that only a couple of people seem to be upset over the latest patch because the moderators are silently deleting 1/2 of all threads and posts that hold any negative connotation towards Funcom.  They are silencing and in some cases, resorting to banning (just happened to me) their angry customers..

    Do you honestly believe the things you say!?

     

    How's WoW working out for you..by the way?  Not such an awful game..is it?

    For the past 2 nights in a row I have bore witness to 2 different guys come into the General Discussion forum over at the official forums starting threads about how they were in-game banned for violating PvP rules?!?  The first guy 'griefed' another player at a waypoint that attempted to gank him.  Claims he killed the guy 10 times over and then made a profane retort at him when the guy whispered him telling him to stop camping him.  He claimed to get perma-banned for doing this..   Seriously?!?

     

    Ok, I can see how MAYBE he might have deserved a temporary ban for the profanity..but permanently and without warning?   Yikes!   So he comes into the forum to tell his story and basically get other players' opinions about said GM action.. and 15 minutes later his thread vanishes completely.   He was silenced by a moderator, obviously.  I just shook my head in disbelief. 

     

    I pretty much spent a good chunk of my day and night browsing through the massive churning of disgruntled players after the 7/10 patch was released..poking my opinions in here and there in random threads.  It was somewhat amusing and at the same time..somewhat disturbing that the general discussion forum had become more fun than playing the actual BROKEN game!  Like a trainwreck, I just had to keep periodically looking at the newest complaints and Funcom trashing threads being made.

     

    Well, a little while ago another guy posted that his brother had JUST been banned in-game shortly after arriving in Poitan having recently left Tesso where they were being camped on by a bunch of members of some guild.  Apparently his brother had run into the water at the docks to avoid a guy meleeing him to death and he was attacked while in the water and something glitched giving his brother the ability to attack from within the water.  This was the ONLY thing they can think of that he *could* have been banned for.  

    I, as well as many other people, expressed shock towards his situation in our reply posts.  We were trying to ask him specifically what had happened..pressing him for more information.  He then updated saying that his brother logged into an alt and put in a petition and his alt was also permanently shortly after placing the petition!  I pressed the 'quote' button and typed out a reply to him and when I pressed 'submit', I was looking at a "you do not have permission to access the forums..login..blah blah" screen.  I pressed back and refreshed the list of threads and sure enough his thread had been deleted by a moderator as well.  

     

    I had already been quite disturbed by the many disgusting things going on between users and moderators and I really wanted to know what the deal was with that guy's brother being banned but I had neglected to note his user name (otherwise I would have sent him a private message.  I made a thread titled, "to the guy that posted brother's banning" and in the post I typed that it looked as if a moderator silenced him and deleted his thread and I asked again for more information on what happened.  I clicked back..waited a few seconds..refreshed..saw a reply had been made but when I clicked it I got the same message, "you do not have permission to access the forums..login..blah blah".  Ok..wtf.  I clicked back and refreshed again..thread gone!   Wow!  Now I am being abused and silenced?

     

    At this point, I am angry and make one more thread titled, "was it worth it?" and in the post said, "to whichever moderator it is that is abusing their power..you just earned Funcom another 2 cancellations!" This thread was pretty much immediately removed and when I pressed back again it said I was banned for 6 months!   Now, I don't know about the rest of you..but I will NOT be treated like that and I had already meant what I had said in that last post..being already tired of the crap going on with the game.  I made good on my promise and my account is now canceled and my girlfriend's will be canceled tomorrow.

    Suffering the out of memory errors and being virtually ignored was already enough.  Moderator abuse was the icing on the cake!

     

    Do they think it's ok to keep messing the game up more and more..KNOW that people are getting increasingly more angry about it..say next to NOTHING about it and then have the nerve to start locking and deleting threads and posts that contain legitimate gripes?  I have never seen such bad business conducted in my life!  I thought my former employer & Company was bad!  Holy god!  ...Funcom! 

    I wonder how many other paying customers have been treated this same exact way today?  They are obviously frustrated and taking extreme measures to shut people up.  They need to learn to take some personal accountability for all of the hatred being slung at their company.  The customer service is horrible and the message boards over there speak volumes.

     

    What do the rest of you think about this entire situation?

     

    Oh..and here are the screens I took and put on my desktop so that I am constantly reminded why I will NEVER EVER purchase another Funcom product again!
