Why aren't Voter Weapons allowed?

[Hulkamania]

You're missing the point. The point is, the cross class spells don't give that much of a benefit, except to spellcasters that couldn't heal before.

Yeah, and try and cast a 1.5 sec. spell while a rogue is teeing off with all of his stuns. Say I stun him with HoJ and start to mount up, he can shadowstep to me and stun again, and keep on going while I'm low on health.

The idea might, and the keyword there is might, against a mage who doesn't know what they're doing, work in a duel (Which, probably wouldn't matter if you're dueling a mage that bad anyway, since they probably won't even snare you). But in anywhere else, especially Gurubashi, you try that stuff and you're dead. The only time I ever even attempt to keep Frost Resistance on is when I'm trying to get away from a frost mage who is trying to gank me when I'm on the arena floor from the rim.

If blinking to the top of the arena is illegal, I'd like to see some enforcement at least, so melee classes don't keep getting ganked by these unskilled mages.

And apparently nothing is being done about it. One of the mages in these screenshots even goes so far as to say "Everyone does it!"

I think Netherstorm is looked at as a joke or whatever, and its players are thought to have no skill, but at least enforce the rules. I've had a ticket open about this for hours, asking for GMs for hours, and there appears to be not one single GM online on Netherstorm, but when I go on Shadowburn, I find all of the GMs are hanging out there.





Not trying to undermine the authority of the Netherstorm GMs, but seriously, this is a highly irritating problem.

Yea but look at the fact that anyone can wear just about any gear.

Like for example I have S3 Rogue gear on my Druid. It makes me hit a lot better but when I was on my Druid today I noticed that SW was under attack, so when I found this horde, I noticed it was a Rogue wearing Priest gear. And then I realized that this was a Healing Rogue. He obviously had healing gems, trinkets, enchants and rings so that it healed him. It took me awhile to kill him becuase of the fact that when I got him down to 20%, the next second it was 88%.

I hope that is is still illegal, because other classes simply cannot get up there.

I've never heard of this rule before, and I have seen GMs on top of there many a time (the candy gnomes, for example). Rogues can get up there, with Shadowstep. I have tried it and it works if you're standing on the steps by the arch.

I see all these people on the forums talking about illegal items and skills, yet thus far I haven't seen a single post from a moderator (except yours that you made recently) detailing what exactly is not allowed. I know it may seem like common sense for those that have been on WaMMO for years, but new players make this server their home all the time, and they can't know what's illegal and what's legal just from hearsay. I like that you finally took the time to make those two threads in the SB and NS server forums, and hope to see it updated regularly. Because to me, unless a GM tells me in-game or a mod posts on the forum, it's not true. I tend not to believe hearsay, because I simply don't trust most people.

The players from that server nearly never votes, and therefor nearly never gets rewarded.

I agree, but the problem here is that you need incentive to go vote for a funserver. I vote all the time, but even though I play on both SB and NS, I always vote with my SB character. Why? Simple. There's no way I'll ever need a 100 gold on any of my NS characters. If I need more gold, I make a new character, do the welcome cow quest, go to the mailbox, and mail my other chars all that gold. It takes all of two minutes.

What needs to be done for this work, is to make a voting points system as was suggested in the veterans' forum I believe. That way, the GMs could make it so that 1 vote = 100g on SB; or 1 vote = 1/10th of points needed to get a really cool item on NS, for example. That way, the "Voting Rewards" vendor would have a place in NS.

If this were to be implemented, I'd like to see the deletion of all current voting rewards weapons, that people were able to buy at the beginning. I have quite a few of said weapons on my NS chars, but wouldn't mind giving them all away if a system that really rewards NS players for voting were to be implemented.

[Hulkamania]

I'd agree with you Diab, but I don't think you should take away the weapons that the users got legitimately, and tell them to get them back, they have to vote so the server gets more popular, because in my mind, it's a completely underhanded tactic to get more people on the server and ultimately to get more donations.

I think at the very least, we should be compensated for taking away the weapons.

And you CAN get up on top of the arch with Shadowstep, but if they get up on top of the arena, like the person in the last screenshot I posted can, there is absolutely no way to get up there. Also I'm fairly sure, but I may be wrong, but I don't think you can use Shadowstep on a friendly target, thus making it impossible to get to a same-faction mage on top of the arch.

I totally agree w/buxx on that or at least figure out a way to make it fair to the non mana classes in some way shape or form b/c to me its really unfair when the other classes can heal themselves and rogues are forced to vanish and run off eat food or use a bandage or for a warrior to run off and do the same thing while the others can just sit there and heal in battle....i know the books aren't lvl 70 skills but still its the principle of the matter really

The voting vendor was a mistake with the database. It was a test project not meant to be implemented or spawned. When it was brought to my attention I removed it. It wasn't complete, nor was it intended for release at this time.

We don't owe you anything. We're providing a free service and you'll never see me or anyone beg for a donation. Wowscape and countless other free servers make money on running their servers because of their crazy pricing schemes and ranking. We break even and have enough left over to run a 2-3 day adwords campaign once a month.

Once I feel the voting rewards vendor is ready for release, it'll be released.
