I think of this way, with every patch Turbine messes up something. Since the the ToD patch seemed to work well they had to mess up the CoC.

-lol, i wonder how many people noticed ibn also posted here


you really cant use ibn's post to anything when they ban your account because a envoy reads the CoC as its stated and not in the spirit its written

if yea ever wondered how much folks loved decal. I think you have your answer.


decal ftw

Played AC/DT for around 5 yrs .. If it weren't for UCM and the ability to make XP while I slept/worked .. I'd still be lvl 30.


I don't have time to invest in manually leveling. RL responsibilities > leveling ..


I want to have a competitive char though when I log in to play .. and since I get at most an hour or two a week anymore .. I don't want to waste it leveling .. I want to go PvP .. the PvP engine in AC is the best I've ever seen/played ..


I've been banned twice for UCM on both of my accounts. I really wish I had UCM'd back when it wasn't enforced so that I could have at least one 210+ char .. I'd like to get some of them Aug gems which only macro'rs will benefit from ..


Anyways .. I only used decal for UCM .. no decal = no more lvl'n for me .. heh, that or I go get a computer engineering degree from VA tech and write my own interface.


<edit> will miss the help .. thx for all you have done for me .. I appreciate the time and energy you guys invested into writing and maintaining those wonderful aides. Thanks <edit>

The wording should not have changed like it did then.

Everyone knows, including turbine, there are good and useful plugins and decal has helped a lot.


And also everyone knows that there are people who abuse things they are given, and turbine tries to find those who decide to spit in everyones face and think they can get away with doing what they are told not to.


We also all know that to get Decal working for this expansion is a lot of work, and we all are grateful you take the time to help so many others out by keeping this tool working. You can't stop doing this great service for everyone because of the few..


If turbine had a problem with Decal, im sure they would have said it clearly to you to stop, and im sure devs dont want to hear you say your up and leaving..


I bet at-least a dev or two are floating around these boards also curious on Decal, when it will be up, and if it will still exist.. Because if it stops then Turbine is gonna have a lot of people asking turbine to come up with a bunch of things lol.


I'm sure you can look around and find a few plugins you can say to your self with out them you'd be lost at times

well ban DECAL< and you end my playing AC totaly and my PAYING OF TURBINE, and im sure many many more than me will say to heck with this lts go play something where they dont

HARASS HAPPY PLAYERS OUT OF THE GAME

AC DEV'S ARE YOU INSANE, DO YOU WANT YOUR JOBS TO END, KILL DECAL, WILL KILL AC, AND ALSO KILL YOUR JOB'S FOOL'S.


Seriously If DECAL isnt back up and running with bots by the next PMT Date, I will Cancel my account and im sure many many more than me will also follow with canceling their account's, BUT TURBINE DOSENT WANT ANY MONEY OUT OF THRONE OF DESTINY THEY JUST SPENT MILLIONS IN DEVELOPING IT TO TOTALLY ALIENATE ALL THEIR PLAYER BASE TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES THEM TO KILL THE BEST GAME EVER.

Folks seem to understand that the Envoys are like rogue agents or something, let me assure that's not the case. If Katahdin doesn't say "Do this differently," they're not going to change their procedures just because the wording of the CoC has changed.

I am a strong believer in following the CoC.


The CoC now bans most ALL botting activity.


Ibn has stated that they are going to ignore the CoC and not ban for anything except combat macroing.


When I login to the game, I agree to follow the CoC, I don't remember seeing a clause or anything 'Except where defined by Ibn on the Turbine forums'.


The CoC is binding, Ibn's comments are not.


Critical issue? No, the intent has been made clear.


However, it is STILL an issue that needs to be resolved unless Turbine wants to make every buff/trade/tink bot scofflaws, clearly violating the CoC with every action they take.


IBN...The point is still being missed...

You keep saying that only the 'wording' has been changed. It has NOT. The MEANING has been changed. Bots that were once legal, are no longer legal according to the CoC. How can you claim that is just a 'wording' change???


Words have meaning. (Unless your Humpty Dumpty and just define your own)


EDIT:

I agree that you have ALWAYS withheld the right to ban any plugin for any reason at anytime, and that has not changed, nor has it. My issue is with the ones the CoC specifically calls out as being against the CoC. The old banned UCM, the new bans all macroing. As I understood it, you're right to ban any plugin was in addition to those specifically banned in the CoC, not in place of it. I really don't think you want to be specifically banning each combat macro by name, that is a never ending task, one that was adequately covered by the old CoC.
