When these reports come to you you do NOT need to warn offenders, its in the EULA. You need to exercise your authority and start banning the offenders. I have some issues with exactly this that have not been addressed yet but you will have several tickets from me shortly for these same kind of issues.
This is a game its for entertainment its not some where anyone should feel harassed, bullied or belittled.
It needs to stop or I'm sure your going to allow deviants to drive some of the smartest people away from this game, because eventually they will stop tolerating it.
Are you calling for Zero tolerance?
Yes, I think that's exactly what it should be. I don't care about people swearing or insulting each other, but when certain people make references to ***, pedophilia, and other heinous crimes, that should not be tolerated at all. No warnings, No second chances. banned, gone, period.
I have submitted tickets for this. I don't submit tickets for swearing, or insults, but I do when people are talking about raping children, pedophilia, and extortion of other players.
To be brutally honest, I lay this rampant problem solely at the feet of the Devs. Every time I have reported this, or submitted tickets the same response comes back. "Thank you for reporting this" and either the players gets muted in GC, or nothing happens. No offence Devs, but by not enforcing any of this, you have not only perpetuated it, but in my opinion are an accessory to it. By doing nothing, you are passively endorsing it. I have read stuff in GC that seriously could get people investigated by law enforcement agencies. And the response is "Oh, it might be some sick joke". That's it. Its gotten to the point now, where I don't even report it anymore, cause nothing will happen and its a waste of my time.
Serious question to the Devs: Honestly, wear do you draw the line? How far does this have to go before you do something? Is this seriously acceptable behavior to you?
And Zoom, you know exactly what I'm talking about, because you are the one who removes the post from the forums and responds to the tickets.
I understand that you are trying to keep this game alive, and banning players when the population is lower than a few hundred players is a bad for business, but dam. It is not even like its occasional, its the same people doing it over and over again, and the posts just get removed and maybe they get banned from the forums, temporarily. Do you seriously think that is a deterrent?
