So the mods of this game, are crazy. The devs give perks to certain people, and the list goes on...If all this is true. I'm at a lost for words.

Yeeeea... That sounds more like a butthurt kid making a complaining video and bloating the issue. Especially the last 15 seconds. Extremely unprofessional.

"This game isn't worth playing! Yet I have loads of premium characters and I still play the game constantly!". Sounds about right.

I mean don't know if it is true, maybe he enjoyed the game and all this stuff started happening so he voice out? When he found out.

If you really want to know about this player's reputation, you can see for yourself here:

Hah, there you go. I figured it was something like that... What a joke of a player.

What does that link prove or show? It's a bunch of redditors making wild accusations. Lets start from the top:

"Community weirdo." How? "On the spectrum." Um... no?

"Desperate for attention." I'm the SEO #1 ranked youtuber for this game. There isn't any more attention to get. I don't need SBI to promote me, they can focus on the 2k sub channels that upload once a month instead.

"Unfairly muted." Yes, yes I was. Literal calling a game master a "janny" (Janitor for short.). A member of my community received a 3 week mute because he called Lewpac (another youtuber who has close ties with SBI) a "hotdog." That's not offensive, that's preschool level stuff.

"He caused an arena meta I don't agree with." Man, what can I say? It works. Why wouldn't I tell people a valid tactic that works?

"He's a 4chan troll." Yeah so what if I use 4chan? It happens to be a great place with many different subjects. I frequent fitness, cooking, video games, and a few others. That doesn't make me a bad guy because I use a website?

"He is a troll." It's a video game. Since when is "horsing around" a bad thing? I like to have fun, so what?

"He teaches people to play as if it was WoW." If it works, right? Nothing wrong with yellow zones. New players go to red/black, die, lose their gear, and quit forever. I gave them an alternative.

"Greataxe is better than boltcasters." No it isn't. Not in any mathematical sense is it better.

"He tells people not to join a guild." Yeah, because a new player should make some guild islands, get laborers going, get some siphoned energy for some early econ boost. Sure the social ones or the ones that like being used / bossed around can join a guild. Doesn't make me a "bad guy."

"He's a trash player." Did I ever say I was some kinda pro?

"He typed out graphic fanfics." ONE time I recited the lyrics to Ram Ranch. So what? It's funny. Where's your sense of humor?

"Bad personality." Sorry I grew up in the worst ghetto and trailer parks? I find people that do drugs and drink alcohol have a "bad personality." Not everyone can mesh.

I happen to have a very cool, fun, and awesome fanbase and tons of people appreciate my content. I don't know what I did other than call a game master a "janny" to get on SBI's naughty list. Every other content creator gets codes to give to their fans for freebies but they've never reached out to me to set that thing up.

Rager, that video I made is true from my perspective. When I first came to Albion I made a video praising SBI for how fast they took care of bots and how awesome it was to be "controversial" in chat. Those days are gone, and I wait for them to return.

Well Look what happened here, something special happened today 1 of the jannies finally took his hotdog out to talk about the game for once. Ive been a part of the Swolebenji community for a long time now and fully get benji's standpoint. he started with helping new players and even brought a good bit of players of the WoW playerbase and make them try the game in the beginning. And then when he criticizes a aspect of the game he gets put on the bad side by SBI ? idk but that sounds a bit ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up to me. And what about the other youtubers who are on the round table, like lewpac for instance. Its part of Benji's personality to troll as far as i know.
So this also means that if you don't suck the toes of the game masters and never critisize the game you get on the good page of SBI wich i find pretty lame in the first place to be honest.
If you didn't want your game to get commented on or get any negative attention then you shouldn't have made a english chat in the first place to begin with. and if you wanna know I WHAS THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ THAT CALLED LEWPAC A HOTDOG but that doesnt matter because after this post you won't find nothing of me i will vanish, you can't track me down and perma mute or even ban me because lewpac is your toe boy ;) because i don't play albion on steam you little rat lords. So Benji keep up the good work m8 and enjoy the game while its still alive. Also do you like my bot name ?

Such a good representation of the kids (benjiwhatever) community. Bravo, 5/5.

Looks to me like he's just stating what happened. I don't really see how the last 15 seconds of it are "extremely unprofessional". He's making it pretty clear that the jannies (I'm gonna start using that now) only care to moderate english chat which is not only lazy, but just fked up. Moderate all the chats or don't moderate any.

I have thousands upon thousands of hours invested into Rust, not to mention well over $1000 in skins and I would recommend people never play that game ever. It's called the Sunk Cost principle. I have already invested too much time and money into the game to just stop playing it, but I wouldn't tell other people to do the same just because.

Also I got curious and tested in-game for myself. I used numerous very bad words in spanish, german and french, haven't been muted yet. Will update this in the future.

How can they moderate a chat if they don't understand the language, though. It's the same with almost every game; you will get instantly banned if you say the Nword in League of Legends, for example, but I can talk as much dirt as I can in my own language. No idea what languages they speak, but that's the basic jist of it.

Also, the unprofessional part comes from the childish laughter of saying is it "worth it", when it's your own enjoyment out of the game. If someone is like me, who just plays the game and enjoys it and have seen zero of the problems he's talking about, it's most definitely "worth it" for me.

If the player has multiple premium characters, plays it thousands upon thousands of hours, yet doesn't say it's "worth it" because the devs are mean to him, yea. That's not professional.

But, as it's apparently true (stated by many and by his own community member) that the players personality is of a troll, I don't put much weight into his words. There was zero proof of any of these activities, only his word.

Overall, I couldn't care less, I'm enjoying the game a lot, haven't seen any of these supposed problems and if it affects only a small handful, I continue not to care. So yea, the game is most definitely worth it, in 2021.

Oh, just a reminder; if someone is actively throwing dirt at your company and at your game, I wouldn't want that kind of a person playing it, either. It's a company, aimed to make money.
That reddit link proves nothing. All it does it shows some people dont like him. He has a perma chat ban by the mods in game for calling one of them a Janitor.

TBH feels like abuse of mod power to perma chat ban somebody.

Also this game has made over 100 mil USD, yet they reuse the same icon for over a dozen icons.

They also reuse the same map for a half dozen locations. I have also been muted for some really questionable things. I dont even use the global chat in game anymore. But I can CONFIRM you can say some pretty toxic stuff in other languages, but when you do it in English, you get in trouble.

Doesnt mean I support what the video creator is doing, but he is not wrong about some of his points.

Everwinter Gap and Cairn Glascore I think, are identical. Sure, petty issues, but I find it cheap, that the devs make 100 mil, but cheap out on these things.

Ok, the Mods on this forum are abusing power. Very Clearly. You engage in calling out players in unprofessional ways. Then you perma ban somebody on this forum for their PERSONAL PROFILE.

They violated nothing on this forum. If your so offended, report their profile. Stop abusing your mod status. So Ill be reporting the mod for abuse as well.

I mean. If you have a racist profile, you can be reported and banned, so...
Doesn't matter where the racism comes from, you ARE racist if you have a racist profile and people like that are hardly needed or wanted on the forums. Or anywhere, really.

I was just surprised because I never before seen that done and I am sure I can find about 50 other profiles that could get the hammer then. But he violated nothing on this hub, his profile has a report feature, just surprise to see the extra moderation. I been on steam for ever 10 years, first time I ever seen that.
