Snail games is ruining ark official servers

[VoX]

Snail games cheats/hacks and abuses admin privileges to get an unfair advantage on players who play fair, protecting corrupt tribes and protecting their own, if they keep this up Ark survival ascended will be ruined very quickly if people still even want to play it at this point.

Yup, they’re sinking their flagship game.

Some children of someone high up in SG probably owns the Tea tribe in Conquest, I can't see normal employees doing that, it seems childish to perma ban over 90 players at once because they raided you, and drop/rollback the official conquest server a dozen of times in a row because they killed you.

This story is doing the rounds again, when it first appeared here 6-12 months ago, the claim was that the COO and CEO of Snail were involved and people were buying into that ridiculous story. Can you imagine an executive leadership team member working 80-90 hours a week, top priority in the limited time they have off is to PvP in Ark. LMAO.

People truly have hit peak gullibility

Dont pedestal erroneously official ark servers. The majority of the player base play on the 70,000+ unofficial servers and not the 1800ish official ones. We've been telling people not to bring their preconceived expectations from other games for official servers for 8 years and it'll hold true with Ascended as well. If you ignore that, that's on you.

I cant say anything about snail games as I only just heard about them a few months back, but I Have worked for blizzard, and while I know its frowned upon, and officially denied for PR reasons, I can tell you stuff like this DOES Happen.
Yes, even CEO's or other top of the ladder higher ups working 80+ hours a week, Do find time to get on game (frequently while they're working mind you, they do working at a game development company after all), and not all of them are as morally grounded to follow the rules of the game as others.
There have been cases where a regular player puts in a ticket because their entire Guild/corp/tribe (W/E version of a group the game your playing calls it), puts in a ticket after their entire group was banned, and the admin looking into it finds that the individual that caused the ban has an employee ID code only given to the top members of the company.
In instances like this, there is Absolutely Nothing, regular admins can do but hand it over to the PR team and hope they can talk some sense into the guy or girl that did it.

In all honesty the vast majority of Ark players never use Official servers and don't give a crap what happens on them. The best thing they ever did was decide to remove them altogether. I would think the same trend will continue with the forthcoming new versions of Ark. Official servers are invariably cesspits.

Not kidding. I have been looking around reddit and there's this tribe called TEA in the conquest servers ( servers get wiped monthly ) and they get super hard to get engrams and mutated dinos like hours after server wipes, and there are posts complaining about it as early as 2018 in several forums. In the latest case, it is documented because it was streamers live streaming the raid. They got 90 people to come to the server Tea was and raided them in full force. The whole tribe got banned at the same time.

If they are shady enough to do this, makes you wonder if they are shady enough to cripple Ark so that we would be forcd to bue ASA if we were to want to keep playing.
