So I just took a shower, and while I was showering I got shampoo in my eye. It really hurt, and I thought "Wow this is annoying". I washed the soap out but then I kept thinking how annoyed I was. Then I started thinking about all the things that annoy me. Long story short, my ADD brought up the topic of the Peat Quest in Glitch. This was the only group quest I have participated in, and I LOVE group quests.
However, the first time I attempted the Peat Quest, it was bugged and would not give me credit (please don't ask if I pushed the button to start before hand, me and a group of 5 other people spent nearly an hour, it was bugged!). The second time I went to complete it, another Glitch followed our group and each pile of peat he would dig in so that we could not find any Peat Hills that were full. At first I thought it was on accident, that the Glitch in question had just been grinding for peat and was digging in all of the same peats we needed for the quest. But then he started yelling "Leeerrrooooyyy Jennkkinnns" before digging each peat. (Here's the link for those of you who don't know who Leroy Jenkins is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkCNJRfSZBU)
Anyways, it took us quite some time to find a full peat and complete the quest. My question now is what will happen when the game opens to the public? The game is free, and will attract a large number of people because they can play for free. This is bad though because there will be other people who run around purposely instigating fights or trying to make life miserable for the other Glitches. Thus far, we have been very fortunate because most people who are in testing really love the game and want to help each other out, but not all players are so caring.
So, what will be done to punish people who do things like this? Will there be a way to "report" a player so that repeat offenders will be noticed? Is there already a way to report other players? And what will be the punishment for players who do things like what I described above? Warnings? Suspensions? Banned?
I don't want to be a negative Nancy, but I think this could be a big problem when the game opens. Also, I am still relatively new and although I think I have a good grasp on many aspects of the game, the social aspects are still unknown to me. I am not sure what happens to people who "misbehave". If this has been covered in a previous forum, please post a link to it and sorry!
