On Saturday, the official site for Anarchy Online was updated with an article about Exploits, Nerfs, Banning and Overequipping. Here's something about how to recognize an exploiter:
Sometime back, a certain pillow was "nerfed", it was made one hand only. This means that if you see a person with two similar (white-red striped) pillows in their hands, there is a high chance that they are exploiting. The fact is, they can still be seen everywhere. I do understand that some players thought the removal of this "feature" was unfair. "Hey, I have worn those pillows for so long". A reduction in power is a reduction in freedom, and no one likes that. In this special case it was discussed a long time here at Funcom, and in our view it made the overall game experience better for almost everyone. I hope equal opportunities are something everyone agrees upon as something positive. I think it is a good example, because it contains all the nuances we would like this discussion to contain. |
