I've only been playing for 2 weeks and know that being in a faction will most likely result in getting attacked from people much stronger than me during wars. If it took this guy over 7 years to find out, then frankly, I can only feel sorry for him.


Edit: TH3xMUT4NT disliked your post.
Well, someone's salty lmao

I think there are a lot of players playing this game who shouldnt be in a faction.. If you feel like throwing your toys out of the pram every time you get attacked then you cant really be in a faction..

With ranked wars themselves, i think the code does need to be adjusted.

I know there is a system in place to adjust the match up so they become fair, but how long is that going to take to come into effect?

At the end of the day the matchup system should be matching factions within a close stat range and similar activity to each other.

I can see and understand why the best factions in the game maybe concerned about this, ie its just going to be wars against other top 10 factions.

But we do have to think about the field mice as well.

I think it would be great if there was divsions/brackets or whatever. Yes league tables for ranked warring. Yes with promotion and relegation.

The thing with the mismatches are LOT of big factions maybe not that engaged with ranked wars, i think there should be a league system :P

The communication is toxic enough to warrant a player report. However, I wouldn't waste staff's time on something this minor. Checking the player's activity, he hardly plays at all.

This is Trip's old faction, they're good people. I would ping Alrena and let them know they've got a toxic member. Most factions don't want that sort of person on their roster. Exceptions might be made for a top hitter with a nasty mouth, but something tells me this guy is just leeching.

I also recommend just blocking the guy. The roster's locked til the end of the war, right? So not much Alrena can do immediately.

Bottom line, a player with that little activity isn't going to do much of anything. He's not a threat, just a bag of hot air.

begs the question, did he get laid off during covid, or is he at threat of being laid off from his faction at any moment?

STOP. And read, please

So since this was brought public despite me explaining and dealing with it with Sacrifice's leader Mary, I have to shut this down real quick, as always people jump to guns way too quick before seeing the bigger picture. I'm disappointed with Mary not handling this situation better and discriminating this player over his real life struggle.

TH3xMUT4NT has Asperger's Syndrome, from the time in DarkHearts, he hasn't acted like this, otherwise I would have tried to guide him off this behavior. This is the first time I see him act like that. For anyone even slightly aware of what Asperger's Syndrome is, you should try to see and understand why he is behaving that way. Yes, it's not nice to see these messages, and they are not welcome, but are we really going to discriminate a player trying to just have fun with the game and learn it, while dealing with Asperger's Syndrome? He is lashing out, because he's being attacked and in his eyes, bullied.

From what he told me himself after I asked him about this and try to ease him out of this behavior, he said started acting like this because he has been getting bullied and he was receiving gross messages from Sacrifice members.

I've said this to Mary and her response was that Asperger's is not an excuse. I mean, what? It literally is the sole reason of him misunderstanding and misjudging the entire situation, and lashing out. Since I've been made aware of his behavior, I've told him to redirect all bad messages to me and I will deal with them, and to block people being mean to him, while explaining attacks are part of the game and war.

Mary instead asked all players from Sacrifice to spam report him and get him banned, regardless of his Asperger's. And now this thread is made up to frame him and discriminate him even further.

When within literally 10 minutes of the war, Teutonic from Sacrifice was going around personally insulting all of DarkHearts players in DMs, with demeaning and rude messages making fun of them, I've asked Mary to put him on leash, and her response was that she knows he does these things, but she's drunk and will deal with it another day.

Are we for real people? This is the worst hypocrisy I've ever seen and a disgusting discrimination.
