The rules say “not intentionally” and “on purpose”.
So when I lock onto an enemy jet and my AIM-9L flies past it and hits a friendly, then that was neither intentionally nor on purpose.
So far so good, that would also cover the low level players who buy a Top Tier premium and start learning through that…
What I’m concerned about is, that @Stona_WT stated: that a TK is a TK and therefore that even accidental TKs count towards a banable offense.
So what is it now Gaijin?
Your rules say that a friendly fire accident has to be on purpose yet your CM says all TK count and people affected by the ban have no means to defend themselves.
If you can’t pinpoint specific incidents for the banned people then that ban wave is nothing but arbitrary.
AHH, sorry, yeah i guess i replied to the wrong person. But yeah, I still do stand by what I said. But I currently still only TK people who attack me first.
Will never report anyone for Teamkilling, but will bring one tank in line up and just leave game after one death until they decicde to ban people for doing that.
It is a very tricky problem it seems to separate the unintentional from the intentional teamkills.
By tricky I mean that it involves spending time, money and resources to investigate and ascertain with context the incidents, something that Gaijin will not or cannot do due to budgetary constraints or sheer uninterest.
Team killing is not a good thing as I have mentioned previously and all the other griefing that goes on, passive play is a bit subjective, overwatching an area to protect and provide cover may be construed to be passive, maybe the games idea is we all charge forward like mindless lemmings to ensure short games and short queue times. Gaijin’s god and the hill it has chosen to die on is queue times.
It almost seems making a mistake is not allowed, anyone who has never made a mistake has never actually done anything.
Maybe that is the answer to not do anything, maybe for a week, two weeks or a month, until the ambiguity over the subject has been resolved.
I see what they are saying but is there a time aspect to this, how long do the incidents stay on the players record ? I have not been following this very closely but is there any official statements or figures on this ?
I have had infractions on my driving license that expire over time, get too many in a short time then points make prizes, or a more serious incident gets more points.
I can hear any reply from Gaijin about if people know they will game the system and keep points just below the threshold and when they expire carry on as normal.
All I want is transparency and a framework, will we all eventually be banned as over the years we accumulate these infractions ?
Seems the best way to avoid this especially if you have spent money is not to partake, then you will not suffer any of the punishments. As I have previously posted why now and why so heavy handed, Gaijin could not be bothered a few months ago, now all of a sudden it is a major problem ruining the game ?
Once again inconsistency and no structured planning or ideas, just lurching from one knee jerk reaction to the next, do they have any planning meetings and quality targets ?
I dont think the GM’s know since it is an automated system, but they have confirmed they fall off after time like they never existed (which with the amount of TK’s I have had over the last decade seems true otherwise I would have been thrown a while ago)
Overall positive change, will remove a lot of the toxicity present in air rb lobbies, and before anyone jumps down my throat about how it’s unrealistic and the likes… The game’s community is nothing like it was even 2 years ago, there are far more kids and idiots present, ones that resort to TK for political/toxic reasons or to lash out over chat/decals/actions of teammates; it has been a stain on the game mode ever since top tier was flooded with children.
No, more this widespread thing of just killing teammates for minor provocation, even become a trending thing among WT ‘creators’ on tiktok to tk enmasse for content, who were recently and rightfully banned and removed from the cc program, imho tiktokers should not be able to access the cc partner network since a majority of the content on there is lazy, misinformative or bluntly political, something which all other platforms in the CC scheme require limits on.
