Ugh

I saw the request to change Virtue stone, I have to ask the same. Its getting ridiculous. Especially since I am now addicted to beating things up.

On the subject of KS99's, it would be nice if there was a "test run" BC for those that cost nothing to enter, but didn't even drop a crystal. It's pretty intimidating for a new shell to plunk down 99 KS's on something they've never been able to try for free due to overcamping.

[Ayaz]

yeah lets just call them "shoppes" while we're at it. nothing like all those extra letters

[Jackle]

should make a request to be able to change AABC earring or CoP ring or somthing <.>

[NynJa]

quiverable virtue stones would be win.

[Jackle]

quiverable virtue stones would be win.

So true

IIRC another thing mentioned during the big interview in germany was that they were lookinginto new ways to obtain abjurations. I was surprised it wasn't on your list. What's the current state of affairs on that?

[Seyrr]

Discussion about how king spawns work led to the possibility that a GM can know when an HNM will spawn ahead of time (though it's speculative and based on our model; while I think our model is correct, I can't prove it.) This leads to the disturbing possibility that an RMT group, or even a regular LS, could have a man on the inside who could tell them things that would give them a significant advantage.

And I think everyone's heard stories about GMs who were completely out of line in their treatment of various situations.

Given these two things, I'd like to ask: what sort of oversight mechanisms are there on GMs? Who watches the watchers? All you need is one bad GM who is willing to take payments on the side, or wants to give his friends an advantage, or treats players differently based on things such as nationality, and you can completely compromise any good that the rest of them might be doing.

Someone who's better at phrasing questions might want to reword it, but I think the idea is an important one. There are a lot of people who don't trust GMs for whatever reason... can SE give us a good reason to trust them?

There is no oversight. Enjoy your game.

Auction House Blacklist

If you bid on an item and the person who would have got the sale is on your blacklist it would instead give the sale to the person with the next highest price (assume your bid is over the price set by the second person).

[spooky]

lmao that idea is pretty cool. It would be nice if it gave the other person a message "The person selling this item has Blacklisted you, you are unable to bid on that item."

[Lithiani]

It's a cool idea, but I'll need a bigger blacklist.

Extend it to bazaars as well. >.>

Actually I was thinking about something where I could AH blist say the "asdfghjkl" account that sells 90% of the Sole Sushi on the server. That way, when I do buy Sole Sushi the money will (hopefuly) not go to that monopolizing jackass. Or like Hoyboyboyboy or whatever his name is who crafts Sushi in Lower J all day everyday on every server.

But I do like your idea too, there are certain people I wouldn't want to sell to either.

Update on asking SE stuff.
I did send them an Email like 1 week ago, but didnt get a respond, so I thought I try this today

blablabla
did you get my Email some days ago?

Responds:

.....
I can assure you that the team has received your previous suggestions, but I haven't been able to get any feedback yet.
Since they were suggestions, I am very sure that the team is taking them into account seriously.

I understand you have more interesting questions and suggestions
We are looking forward to receiving them!
It would be an idea to have a Q&A interview with you, if you like.
The format doesn't really matter, so if you can send me the list of questions I will make sure that we provide you the answers as soon as possible.
(and as many as possible....*g*)

I will also keep you updated regarding the feedback!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
........

So I will talk to the people who helped me most again and then send the stuff to them QUICK. Hopefully we get answers in 2006 .
Iam still positiv.

Thank you for the update Bercus, was wondering what was up
