First off, I had no part in choosing the odds. That was our devs. Second off, the outside is nice. Long drives to your mother's house . . .

That's just moving the money around, the economy is over-inflated. Having the server eat the money helps remove this excess money. If someone doesn't know to stop playing the slots then that's on them.

I don't think some people betting away their money is going to kill the server. In fact, people having been betting their money away for over a year now. We'll make an official announcement soonTM haha unfortunately I don't think we can stop people from being stupid. Just put them on training wheels to guide themselves. On the forums CTF doesn't get much flack. Noble does because they're the biggest zerg gang. Tree had the same issue in 2016 and 2017.

Banning them isn't going to stop them DDOS'ing the server dude. Clearly tou have no idea how it works. Truth be told, we can make adjustments to hit but at what point do we always have to stop people from their own stupidity?

Lol, I've been to BW's on civ and cop the last two weeks. The cops have been maybe 10 deep. We had 20 in a civ channel and haven't lost. Banks were not added for 10 or more people to do. well, good on you for opening all our eyes that it was broken.

Then effectively, you're responsible for the bank getting nerfed. I get the getting everyone to do the same thing. But I've been in large gangs during the peak of Olympus, federal events are the end game. I cannot remember the last time I saw 12 seniors in a channel let alone on cop together. And again not good for the economy. Thats why changes were made.

That makes no sense. So you won't do one federal event because you can't run them back to back? If you really want to make the bank to be unwinnable, all you have to do is make it mandatory for cops to show up.

They aren't profiting off of it, at that rate it's solely to build a bounty. So you thought it was okay for the bank to have a win percentage of 80%? That's not balanced and a massive issue for the economy. Those changes were agreed upon by your civilian council. So if that's an issue, then maybe you should voice your concerns with them. There was also a Noble member that found out about the proposed changes before the staff meeting and continued to plant fake banks to drive the blow rate down. As in terms of federal events, you're implying that people log off after them. If it's a successful civilian win with a decent chase afterwards they can go upwards of an hour. Expecting the cops to stay on for another 30 minutes or so for you to re-gear and start another is unrealistic.

Show me proof of Senior APD telling people to log off and I will handle that. If people log off when there's a mass amount of people logging, maybe they can't stay on for the whole event. I've experienced that myself when it comes to logging off. The events take a long time so I think expecting massive amounts of people to stay on for 3 or 4 hours consistently is not intelligent. Maybe you shouldn't take 15 people to a bank. That's not the event for a group that large. Sorry that I applied for staff when the server needed it most. I could just quit as well as the rest of the Senior APD staff and then you'd complain your tickets aren't done. this man understands how gambling works!

Thats why we started the amnesty program. Aside from when the server was up last night, cop numbers have been LOW. We are at 150 cops.

I'm not taking "shots" at your gang. I'm merely pointing out that you will stack your gang on a server to not do a federal event when I think you can. I'm sure any Senior APD member would love to log in to fight a federal event. Because at this point, they are only done by massive groups, not gangs. I was doing a federal event on civilian last Saturday, we asked Noble if they wanted to come and the 15 on turned it down. So call it what it is but the door is open. You are not understanding the economy. The economy is higher now that when we had 3 server at full pop. That's an issue. Adjustments are always made on a needed basis, they go through a staff meeting. Not a Senior APD meeting.

I think it's a great thing for the server. Do you really think it's fun to play a server with 80 people when they are doing absolutely nothing? Noble is one of the biggest gangs on the server. There can be 20 of you on and you still won't attempt a federal event. The BW is broken and that still isn't done by your gang. You can't get better at something if all you do it nothing.

You're not being targeted. The casino is something that was wanted to be implemented for literally YEARS. This was implemented with the same characteristics as a real casino. It's unlucky you blew all your money but that's on you for not stopping when you were ahead. That's something out of our control, we're working on a fix but there's not much we can do.

When I was on last night. I saw plenty of runs happening. I think you're just not able to come to grips that you have a problem with betting virtual money in a video game.

No one forced you to bet man. If you knew anything about a real casino, then you would know when to stop betting your money away. If anything, this is a major improvement for the server. No longer will people complain because no one does runs. Time to start getting out the trucks and start picking moonshine. Your inability to stop doing something isn't poor judgement on the server and staff. That's a piss poor excuse for not being able to control yourself.

You exposed everything, we're fucked.

Submit a comp request with proof then, also submit a bug report.

o7, great time having you a senior and enjoyed your input on everything. Take it easy man.

@CHAZ 2.0 Like everyone has said before, we're all here for you and there will be a spot for you when you come back. The most important thing to do is stay strong for your child and your family. I'm not really the religious type but I'm thinking of you and your family.

Unfortunately for you we base events around the peak time of the server, and that happens to be late for EU/UK timezones.
