GM's Allowing Alphas To Cheat!

[Good Bunny]

SO I got a response to my reporting detailing an Alpha using extreme meshing to blockade resources. Blockading is not the issue. The issue is that they are meshing, which is a bannable thing. Or I thought it was until I got a response from GM Reaper saying, quote,

"There are no Enforcement Actions to be taken on this case as what is being reported is not a violation of the Code of Conduct on PVP servers"

So this tells me either meshing is allowed again, or that they allow specific tribes to do it for whatever reason. Rumors of corrupt GMs are true I suppose. If this is how they run things, I hate to see how it goes when Ark 2 comes out. These people are more corrupt than Sergey Titov (google the name).


EDIT:
Current, Re-Submitted ticket content so hopefully someone other than the corrupt guy sees it and deals with this/him.

I am told is the most important are in the space biome part of the map. Resources that don't spawn anywhere else, and the single ONLY way to traverse between the two halves. Them being blocked off means resources that can only be found on one side cannot be taken to the other.

If I am not mistaken doesn't it violate terms of service to block off important resources, artifacts, and obelisk areas? Why is this allowed?

Last server I was in where I saw this was GenTwo 952. A tribe that goes by Barry Seals has not only blocked off the entire space biome and tunnels to them, AND turreted 80% of the green zone with no actual bases there, (this is referring to player spawn points and mission terminals) but has placed their generators and some of the turrets they power inside the walls of the tunnels to the space area. Even the maintenance tunnels are turreted. There is literally no way to get between zones, to space, or to traverse the green side.

Please please please deal with this. It is making the map impossible to play.

I suggest making the tunnels into the middle area and a small radius around/above them a No Build Zone so that people can at least traverse in between.

The following is taken from your company's own code of conduct:
1. > Exploiting - examples are not limited to but can include:

Attacking from, travelling through, or building in unintended game-zones (under the mesh or above the map) --> As they have placed turrets and power source for them outside the map mesh ths IS a violation)

2. GRIEFING
Spawn Blocking
Spawn Blocking occurs when tribes intentionally block spawn points for the purpose of not allowing any new players to play on the server. In the event your base inadvertently or accidentally resides on a spawn point you will not be penalized.
A) Using spikes/spike walls at player spawn locations
B) Turrets located on or near spawn points
C) Aggressive dinos placed near spawn points in order to instantly kill players that spawn in.
As they have done this to nearly every single player spawn on the green half, this IS against the rules

So yes, there IS cause for action. The fact that every player who reports meshing to you gets ignored is unbelievable. You are actively allowing some tribes to cheat because they are bigger, while banning smaller ones and solos for trying to do exactly the same.

i suggest you compile proof of your claim and write an official report on the official forums.

ranting here and making claims of corrupt server managers is not the way to go about it and will get you absolutely nowhere

Oh I've got my proof alright. Screens, e-mails, etc. Just wanted to be sure people knew not to expect anything out of this power tripping **** nugget of a human being.

It is very ok for you to tell this here as well because people need to know about these things everywhere. I'm glad you said something because now I know what to look out for Thank You.

What things? Should i be worried?

Gm Reaper is allowing people and Alpha tribes to cheat, despite numerous tickets and reports about them meshing. He said that it is allowed in pvp, so no actions will be taken.

What is actually going on, is that he has several friends in game. Some of whom are in the very Alphas getting reported, so he just throws the tickets out. And the company allows it, (purely my opinion here on this part) because they feel if the alphas are properly dealt with, they lose a big part of the player base. But by allowing it, they will lose more.

And with a looming boycott on Ark 2, it's destined to fail. Gm Reaper is more of a corrupt Dev/GM than Sergey Titov.

I fully understand your anger and frustration, I would feel the same ...

Before more players read this, I suggest that you remove the GM's name, because naming and shaming is against STEAM Code of Conduct.

Otherwise not this GM gets in trouble, but in addition to your current trouble you might be banned in this forum. I keep my fingers crossed for you that this does not happen.

And did you submit a ticket reporting this GM **before** pointing fingers here?

Well yeah, of course. But here's the problem. If he's the only GM answering these, then it'll never get to where it needs to.

I appreciate your concern but the following was taken from the article on naming and shaming.

Naming & Shaming, or abbreviated as "N&S" is the term of when you post someone's profile URL / ID on a forum or any public board / area.

As I have not posted what is outlined in the policy, and instead have posted the very public and available name they go by when tickets are responded too, this is NOT naming and shaming.

Also, I attempted this with evidence and the proof you speak of and their response was to delete the post, and give me a warning for "discussing ticket results"

Screens are not enough of proof. Too easy to photoshop screenshots. Need to make a video at least.

Quite honestly the only way you will get any sort of change about behavior like this, by a GM, is to get a youtuber who does extensive video reviews, or reports on abusive developers, like Bigfry, Kira, Upper Echelon, Sid Alpha, Callum .... so many others. If they think it is juicy enough, some might like the chance at a good story that will bring them views and likes, and it will force WC to actually pay attention to it instead of just burying with deletes, and other underhanded crap.

Seems a bit ridiculous but it is really the only way to influence "blind" devs.

Or maybe not. Quite many of these threads are made by just angry players getting owned in PvP.

and thats exactly the issue with all games here , it can be true or just some angry guy whos grinding whatever axe with the company or gm for being disciplined. The real issue at play here is the no naming and shaming policy from steam. If you got proof and want to show it to the community so others can avoid a game or a server steams garbage policy is to shut down the thread because it hurts their wallet. Then again one should expect this from a owner/ceo who made their profit to create steam from illegal gold farming bots in wow.
