In my last post, I discussed about Terms of Service and how games like wartune refuses to enforce portions of it.  Not too long after I posted that article, I came across this:

 I initially was quite annoyed and appalled that one of the top cashers in the European servers is deciding to throw in the towel on wartune.  By quitting, you will lose 100% of your investment.  I bet this person has spent over $100,000 on this game.  Course by quitting you wouldn't spend any more money since wartune keeps adding junk to the game that forces heavy cashers like this person to spend in order to keep staying far ahead.  Selling an account would be a logical choice to at least get some money back.

 

However, the TOS on R2 specifically states that you are not allowed to sell your account and share your password.  Since R2 rarely enforces sharing of passwords, I can see why this wartune character wants to sell their password.  If this person does sell their account, I believe that all of the players on the eastern server will be scammed assuming R2 completely ignores this. Let me explain.

 

Since everyone has to agree to follow the TOS/TOU when you start a game, I expect the game to fully enforce it.  If they don't, many people will get an unfair advantage or "cheat" to get ahead thus affecting other players.  It could affect them positively or negatively.

 

It is quite obvious that people that this person does multi-player activities would benefit the most.  In group arena, the team that this character is on would probably win most or all of the battles (while the losing team being scammed in this case by losing to someone who should be inactive).  In other multi-player activities, the team that this character would run probably would get much further and get better rewards than if they went with someone else.  Again, this benefits the team but puts a disadvantage to other players especially people from other servers (which I will attempt to explain shortly). 

 

Many disadvantages on the server this player would be as follows:

- If the character plays an activity that the whole server gets to play and the rewards are based on damage dealt; all other players WILL get less rewards as this scammer is taking in some of the rewards.

-This character would steal a rank in arena thus everyone else would be ranked less and get less rewards because of it

- In guild battle, if this character plays, the opponent guild would have a harder time winning their battle (or if they can win at all) thus getting a loss where they should have won and getting less rewards because of it. (This would benefit the guild this character would be on)

 

Many disadvantage from cross-server include:

-If opponents would run into this character in cross-server arena, they would have a loss instead of facing a different team

- If you would run into this character is battleground, you may end up being an opponent which if you would have to fight this character, you would probably lose instead of fighting someone else

- This character will take up one of the top spots in class wars taking someone else spot which all other players would have a lower ranking than they would otherwise have

- This player would take up a rank in sylph arena where everyone else would have a lower rank because of this character

 

Do you see my point as to how this will negatively affect other players?  It seems to me that I am the only one bothered by this.  You say that this is a "game?"  Why then do you invest money onto this game you hypocrite (or time but I should talk)?!?   So I hope I convinced you to stop paying for a "free to play" game until they offer superior customer service.
