Admin Abuse
Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2014 11:52 pm
I believe the discussion was had at the Feb LAN about admin abuse within the game. I understand that part of the game is killing each other, but when the admin has given themselves full Kevlar and kills players I find that an abuse of power. I have not in the entire time I've been playing found a single piece of Kevlar.
I only know of one person out of 3 that have played that has found any and it was only one piece in hundreds of gathering runs. So while yes, it could be that he honestly acquired that set, I still take issue with it. Had it been anyone else who killed me I would be fine with it.
Admins are admins, players are players. If you want to play, get a second account with no admin privilege and use that. Every game where I've been a part of the administration had the policy that admins either cannot play at all or they have to use a second account with no admin privileges and anyone caught using their admin power to "boon" their normal player was removed as admin permanently.
In the end it's just a game but to watch your hard work get flushed away because someone abused their power removes the fun from it. Good luck to those of you who continue to play but I'm done.
