The craziest thing about this thread is that it all took place around 12-2 in the ****ing morning! Go to bed for ****s sake lol.
I think the issue here is the association we as players make. Gates = events and we all know it. I mean when's the last time somebody stopped to check the name of a gate in pits instead of just jumping in? If it was the same color I guess there's faults on both parts; players for not checking what it said, and staff for making it look like another gate that we are used to seeing as something else. For example I know the two blue pads are Britain and Minoc and if someone switched these to point to a 5*5 room with 100 xtreme dragons I'd be pissed too.
I have to agree with Luda on one thing; this is the first time I see him 'complain' about something. In the end though, the proper thing to do in this kind of scenario where you think staff are abusing their powers is to bring it up with Taran via PM or email and make sure you have your facts straight and aren't over exaggerating because Taran can check the logs.
Good job to Shade getting some action going late at night! Just before I turned off my monitor to go to bed I see a green bcast. Turn my monitor back on, check my journal, and it's Shade saying 'rep in 4 minutes'. I thought wtf are you serious a rep at midnight? We can't even have 10 people on... There were 28 people on! Most probably afk or idling in pits, but Shade got some action going so good stuff man!
