I was just responding to your post. Saying "everyone" was a bit of a stretch, but I think this thing gained steam after the dshook30 poaching incident and it seems that peoples' "cheating" radars are quite sensitive these days. It may be the rule, but it's a dumb rule. Enforcing a dumb rule doesn't solve this problem, and for only ONE person to suffer under a rule that's probably/eventually going to change or that a solution will be created for, is bullshit. Whatever happens going forth, billyg will always be the one that was most ****** by this, and by a wide margin, and if you think he's not ****** because he's done talking about it, you're crazy.
I speak out because we need a resolution, not a hanging and claiming the problem is solved.
What kind of responses have you gotten on this matter by submitting tickets?
I don't think anything can be done to get billyg's team(s) back. I did send a ticket voicing my displeasure over his team removal and they said thanks for the feedback.
I haven't sent a ticket since, but I feel like a lot of coaches here don't understand that the 1000 mile rule doesn't eliminate cheating. A while back I had 2 teams, 1200 miles apart, I used the "dummy" team to buy FSS for my "real" team and under the rule, this was and still is a legitimate play/act within the game. A lot of people look at this and think it's ridiculous that users are allowed to have multiple teams in the same world at all, and it's a fair critique, but the fact that WIS has let it go on so long, unchecked, it would be rather devastating to the HD community and their business in general...it's no longer a single-pronged affect. Unlike a lot of people, I'm thinking this through, thoroughly, and maybe I should send in a ticket going forward, but I haven't because the way things are personally don't directly affect me at the moment.
Like it or not YOU, stinenavy, started this, and we have to clean up the collateral damage that you didn't foresee. How about you do your part and go on another manhunt so we can see another lynching, eh? That'll really end the problem, wouldn't it....
