It wasn't a bug. Therefore, they weren't exploiting a bug. Therefore, they weren't cheating.
#275 - NoLuCK
Thank you for the ad hominem. It really helps your case.
Well, what any argument from either side boils down to is "It was a bug" or "It was not a bug." However, NCI intended for Pandora to buy prats for 100a. They may not have intended for people to sell mass prats to her to increase taxes, but that has nothing to do with the coding--it's about players' behavior, which is another matter and does not fall under the definition of a bug. They may not have intended for people to use houses to 1v1 mops in the doorways, but they did intend for houses to exist and for the doorways to be 1 square, so using houses to 1v1 mops is not a bug. It seems NC Korea knows this, because they listed the new change in prat price as a change and not as a fix.
I take offense to being referred to as male. Being male is a terrible disease to have, and I don't have it =P
I never said whatever is the opposite of what one believes is real; I meant that believing something does not make it so.
I suppose Lineage is not Lineage now and pretty much never was, as the rules have been broken almost constantly. (No, I don't know that for a fact, but I'm making a guess that, for example, many people have always account shared.)
Ignoring opinions and falsehoods is not necessarily a bad thing. Blindly acceping opinions and falsehoods because many others believe them can be a bad thing.

re: Public Service Announcement
Prince Drathen,
You said, "Would it really be so much to ask to have one or two Monitors on each server (Whisper on) 24/7 to solves things through the game?" In short, Yes. People would take the GMs time asking for free items, help hunting, or just to be friends. How could someone who has a problem ever be able to communicate the GM if he is flooded by other people just talking.
If anyone has a real problem, they can take the time to email support. If they won't take time to email for help, then they obviously do not need any help.

re: Public Service Announcement
Someone,
I cannot remember who said that there is a tax cap. Your right, the tax cap is 50%. On the other hand, there is no cap on the absolute value of the adena gained from the Tax (Unless - it is constrained by the type of variable in memory. This value is most likely a DWORD which means it could contain up to 2^32-1 adena.).

re: Public Service Announcement
Weathersmurf,
You get to be first, and I am honored that my humble opinions may be shared with, and perhaps thrashed by, you. You have posted, by far, the greatest amount of ignorant, stupid, or just plain wrong, comments to this discussion. I don't suppose it helps when you just can't stop writing.. On the other hand, how well thought out can an arguement be when it is just plain wrong? Ah, I love a good flaming..
You said, "I have to agree it's not a bug, by definition." You then go on to discribe a number of things that are not bugs, which I must say you did beautifully.
Please allow me to further develop your idea about non-bugs. Adena is not a bug, it was put into the game with the intent that it could be used as game currency. The great thing about currency is that you can buy or sell things with it. Castle owners are then entitled to a percentage of the cost of the transaction (as intented). When an item is bought for 100 adena, the cost of the item is 91 adena, and the castle gets 10% tax or 9 adena. Now, when you go to the store to buy an item and pay sales tax, it heads to the government. However, when you sell the item you get all of your money back, even the tax. I tend to agree that these were added into the game as intended, game features, and are not bugs.
Hah, I see that you are scratching your head, you must know where I am going with this but do not yet want to admit it. An unintended (BUG) thing occurred when adding this last feature, the tax adena was not being taken away from the castle upon refund. Sit down, I have some disturbing news, this was a bug.
Now, in proving that this was a bug, I have disproved just about every one of your statements that where you build your arguement from the false conclusion that "There is no bug."
What you believe is not what is real? Whoa, slow down son, read some books on ethics and morality of thought and ground yourself. Are you really so caught up in being above it all that you have forgotten what it is to just be? You are, I am, and all the nonsense in the world cannot save you now. As unbiased as you think you are, you refuse to follow in the very idealism that you say you are, "I'll stay an ... open-minded, reasonable person." You may have read Lao Tzu or Nisargadatta but I can see that you have yet to take the time to think about what they are telling you.
Nontheless you have thought, and in doing so have realized a great deal of things about what IS. I can tell you that 1 + 1 is 2, even if you think that it is 3. If 1 + 1 is not 2, then 1 is not 1, or 2 is not 2, etc.
In any case, we play by the rules that govern us. If 1 + 1 is 2, we cannot change that. So are the laws of the universe. By playing Lineage we submit our mind to a new set of rules, different, yet similar, to those of our current reality. These rules ARE, and to say they are NOT is ignorant. Without the very rules that hold together Lineage, Lineage is not Lineage. When the rules no longer apply, the rules have changed, and when that happens Lineage is not Lineage, it is something different. Fortunately, the people who broke the rules are those whose world has changed, and those of us who have not can continue to be ignorant to change. This is good.
I am willing to continue this discussion, however I fear that my philosophical prowess is much weaker than I believe. And so, to end this arguement, I apoligize for offending (or complementing), for pretending to be better than (and I do, at times), or just plain being mean (or nice), to YOU.
My final thought is that bending rules and beliefs can expand your knowledge, but ignoring the collective belief of others, or what IS, is just plain ignorant.

re: LoA Dragon Armor - 10% Fire Resistance
i believe most of the ppl who call it a newb server call it that because its easier to start on loa. We have skel boots, mage cap, etc. But what virtually every high lvl seems to ignore, is that they are a HIGH LVL! whether it takes them an extra day to get to 40 is not a big deal. You dont see newbs complaining about loa being for noobs because noobs dont come to these forums to say so. Who cares if we can pass the first lvls quicker? So what if i spend a day or two less leveling to 40? Does that really affect the long term?
