you shouldn't be earning XP unless you're EARNING XP... period.


Watching TV is not attending your game. Sleeping in the same room is not attending the game. While I'd hate for this to turn into yet another ucm debate, Turbine has defined ACM is being in combat and being able to respond to an admin WITHOUT the usage of an alarm. If you require the alarm to notify you of admin presense, then you're no longer ACM and are now UCM. I personally don't agree with either because I think people should PLAY the game, but Turbine has their rules layed out clearly, and while I don't agree with it, ACM is technically legal.. as long as you're a REAL ACM and not a closet UCM or one who relies on an alarm to call themselves ACM.


but then again, this has all been previously discussed (within this thread) and takes no reiteration.

exactly different opinions...


As long as I am around for a test that's good enough for me.


AC COC doesnt have real life authority value to me..


I do however think leaving your house while macroing is stupid but not really wrong..


The game was brought out of balance long ago with script aided players vs non script aided players.


It goes all the way back to acscript based on js.


I enjoy macroing,programming ect...


That's one of the reasons why I play AC and not WOW.


Like you said it's all been argued before.


I am not afk 90% of the time but still yes I break the rules but I dont care... I eat,poop, and clean here and there while playing sue me.

so what you're saying is that you don't respect the rules placed infront of you by the game creator? the rules you agreed to every time you accept the EULA... every time you log in.


you seem like the kind of person who likes to pick and choose which rules suit you best... and follow only those ones.

that's exactly what I am saying..

I suddenly feel the need to post a link to here:


Board FAQ and Rules

 

-----signature-----

No posts discussing or linking to MMORPG Exploits, Cheats, Hacks or Third Party Apps that may be against the CoC of the MMORPG you are posting about ?


Nothing of the such has happend.


The above indicates discussing exploits as in telling people how or where to get them..


I am pointing out what decal no longer does and what can be done without it which in it self does not break the COC. My idealism does not line up with anti macro thinking but then again that's not against the "faq" is it? Having fifty personally customized ring tones for your ac awareness is not against the COC. In specific having a envoy alert is not against the COC. What I personally do might be but then again that doesnt fit "discussing or linking to MMORPG Exploits" criteria does it?


If it did every single UCM debate in this silly boards history would result in alot of bans now wouldnt it?


Backto the topic at hand or shall we play tiddly winks somemore.

>> AC COC doesnt have real life authority value to me.


Once again, legally binding contract.

Its such a shame that some of you have no regard for the game. Rules are established for a reason. Just because OJ Simpson gets away with murder (according to some), does that mean we should all go out and kill our worst enemy?


Just because someone else breaks the CoC of AC, should not mean that you have every right to do it as well.


Some of you, I would really like to kick in the nuggets. Its people like you that have destroyed the game. And I hope you decal developers out there have some remorse for creating this atmosphere. Sadly, when I try to figure out who the decal devs are....I can't seem to find any information on them, the history of decal, or etc. Seems like they are ashamed to be recognized.

Lurcher: what do you mean? There is a lot of history and information about Decal over the years.. none of the Decal Devs are hard to find, or anything like that.. And as for Decal being the problem, that's only half true. Decal provided an interface, but it's the Plugin developers that exploited that interface for the wrong reasons. There IS a Decal Code of Ethics, and it forbids things like that... we can't really enforce it, and it's on an ethics and honor system... which of course someone who's UCMing or doing things against the CoE really couldn't care less about ethics or honor.


Regardless... if I were there in the beginning and looking in retrospect, I wouldn't have gotten rid of decal, but I would have clamped down more on what was allowed and possibly actually taken some initiative and time to block those that didin't conform.. (we were having a discussion about that yesterday on #ACdev).


Decal isn't the problem. Without Plugins, decal is really nothing. It's the plugins you should be blaming and the authors of those plugins which have negatively affected AC the most.
