Hey Shai, remind me to call your next suggestion pure ignorance when you think something will help out the shard.

Why don't you try giving some explanations on why you think something won't work instead of just dismissing it as pure ignorance when we are trying to find ways to help improve the shard? Or better yet why don't you give some suggestions to help make it into an idea that can be implemented. The kind of response you're giving really doesn't encourage people to bring their ideas to the shard to help make it better. All it does is further stagnate the shard from a lack of diversity, and that's what a shard needs to prosper.

This might be a pvp oriented suggestion, but that doesn't mean it deserves to be turned down before it's even given a chance. As you said, this is a RP/PVP shard so where's the harm in doing a little something for the pvpers now and then?

You say people need to be less dependent on events, and here's a suggestion to help make that happen yet you're so fast to shoot it down without any suggestions to try and help it out.

I'm not even a big PVPer yet I've given almost a dozen different ways this idea could be implemented so it doesn't make people paranoid about leaving town but can still make the game more fun for others.

Now if people are too stubborn to team up because there's a greater possibility they get ganked, let them be idiots and hurt themselves. If a by-product of this suggestion is more interaction between players, is that really such a bad thing? Will people really stop hunting completely? Pretty sad if that's all it takes to get people to stop.

And in case you've gotten lost or confused in this thread, the suggestion smoke gave was to have a single system message when someone left pits. That's it, that's all. I said it's a great idea provided it doesn't tell people where else you went. Where's the harm in seeing a message 'shai left pits'? It doesn't tell anybody where you went and that's a million times less specific then xyz co-ordinates on the status page.

Re-read the thread if you got confused before you call something pure ignorance because this is a worthwhile suggestion as far as a number of players are concerned. And in the end you won't see a system message saying 'shai recalled to the xtreme wyrm on level 3 of destard' so it doesn't affect hunting at all.

Your missing the point. The 'idea' isn't just to add "XXXXX departed from the pits". Please go back and read what people were really asking. That may have been where it started out, but quite frankly people want what region they are in now too. All I'm saying is that a majority of our players aren't really pvpers. Sure we have quite a few but in general we have a small player base. I honestly don't think this will help bring the player base "up", when new people join and they're location is spammed on the screen or is on the status page or wherever, for the pvp'ers to come and waste. And Technique, what makes you think that they wont recall when they're locations are on the status page? Sure, you will find them faster, but they will recall, or try anyways, regardless if the info is on the page or not.

Eighty, I didn't say your suggestion was pure ignorance, I said, thinking that new players or players in general that aren't pvp oriented will like this idea, shouting up and down that they are going to get ganked every 5 seconds because everyone knows where they are all the time, that's being ignorant.
I don't mean to shoot any ideas down, it not like the decision is based on what I think alone. I'm just trying to use good logic. As this could really screw some things up for people, or make them better.

There's no harm to try it I guess, that's the only real way we will know. But I don't think I agree with the exact region being displayed on the page, as this could result in more people sitting around in the pits, whichhhhhhh I believe is the issue we are trying to fix.

EDIT: And I am a rhyming mistress.
