  1. Ever since the start of the 2.5 patch, any remaining users that had once owned bots with Siel's Aura converted over to utilization of trial accounts en-mass (something like 20 accounts at once, all level 11 characters) to extract the lucrative event pass materials. These users are raiding the event pass system without paying their dues to NCsoft. This must stop, it is hurting the game. These users should be banned just like the time(s) action was taken for this in Aion Live. Just because NCsoft made a new business decision does not mean these users can extort NCsoft into reverting back to an imposition made by our users for better drops.

    Well, they better fix that for NA... not sure if Siel's Aura changed in KR too to give them 150% instead of 100% too. Point is they changed it for us and advertised, so we should get it.

    Pretty sure the shop function is working as intended, just the functionality of the shop. I'm sure they will have an answer soon in regards to if they want the relics to have a bonus on them or not.

    The new AP relic exchange NPCs not honoring the 150% AP acquisition bonus in the Siel's Aura like the 2.4  relic exchange NPCs.

    I believe it's working as intended since it was changed to a shop functionality. Shops don't reward bonuses.

    They could allow for ingame addons, like WoW, for dps meter if they bothered to care and this would have made the need for any 3rd party scam programs obsolete.

    I wanted to try it one time and saw it required me to open the meter before I would login my char so that was a red flag for me and I never used it in my life.

    I wasn't really talking about password stealing. I was more-so talking to how these programs can be used to cheat by the ones who wrote the program or their "friends", or spread disinformation. Less obvious stuff.

    It's weird how all of you are cool with timestamping every moment of everything you or people near you have ever done in the game, including those who didn't consent, and having it show in search engines. Oh, and installing a program that literally has control over your network traffic, along with a closed-source program that gets blocked by SmartScreen. This thing is a security and privacy nightmare. I just assume the entire community is computer illiterate. I think [he] is right for once.

    It's also absurd that the anti-cheat allows sniffing the game's packets and cracking its packet encryption, the initial step in hacking. Why was this program allowed to exist.

    Yes, that would be against terms of service. It is also against terms of service for these programs to give players advantages past the intended limits of the game. Even just crowd gathering information of nearby players from users of these programs to one person or more in real time enables the possibility of such information being used for gaining an advantage past the intended limits of the game and thus should be against terms of service.

  6. One thing I commonly see while gaming is how common these seemingly harmless player-made programs are used for malicious acts.

    Below is not an exhaustive list:

    • DPS meters are used to provide disinformation to change public opinions about players. It can provide the wrong measurement if whoever wrote the program seeks to alter the measurements of certain players to change public opinion about them to cause positive or negative actions to be taken against them by other players. Another way this can be used to provide disinformation is if the measurements are uploaded to a database and the data is altered by the users of the program or the data is altered by administrators of the database. These disinformation methods can be used for any variable such as damage per second measurements and animation speed measurements.
    • DPS meters are used to provide administrators with exclusive extra features such as giving them information about characters they normally wouldn't know in game or in-real time. It can provide information so that administrators that use the program are given information outside the scope they would know in game to evade strong players, follow players, or attack weakened players.

    Surprisingly, most of the time, no one notices these things. I advise you not use these programs, as most of the time there is some ulterior motive to players writing these programs for the community and they have ulterior functions for the person who wrote the program. I advise you not to let your guard down, especially in this our community with many players who aggressively exploit everything - talking about both the NA and EU player base.

  7. I believe in these values of which I have spoken of and approve of the discord operations as it stood as said in the initial post. Unquestionably, Vashiro is one of the best candidates to lead a discord and operate the discord mentioned rather than someone else. If this wasn't the case, I would have not said anything about the discord in the first place.

  8. My posts do not contain jokes and are quality publications that are proper and balanced. It is true this discord is superior to others and will help Aion recover from the tainted environment it become before this discord's existence.

    Harassing support isn't going to change the answer you get from support. Harassing the community team afterward also isn't going to change the answer. Support said NCsoft is aware of it and is handling it. Learn to wait, it hasn't been that long.

    Lying about lack of moderation is unfortunate but agree it's nice to have a new home

    The new discord has considerable moderation. Corruption isn't tolerated. For example, all fake opinions are removed from the discord, uprisings from unsavory characters are quashed, and inciting to-action speak is carefully monitored as it should to ensure continuity of rule.

  11. With the North American discord server dead from the lack of moderation, passion and desire to thrive, the current only choice has emerged for the North Americans to find refuge in - https://discord.gg/aionclassic. This discord may be for the future European Union servers, but I've seen North Americans joining this discord and there are no other serious discords for Aion Classic that exist. They do have security in their moderation. Lawless behaviors are not allowed there, such as passive aggressiveness, toxic rhetoric, attempts to overthrow order in the Aion community, etc. Personally, knowing the discord owner for sometime, he has a sense of absolute control, unbounded ambition, unquestionable authority, and I don't see his excellence over the Aion discord landscape changing anytime soon - it is highly admirable and should be respected. This discord is also recognized by Gameforge, so it must meet their qualifications. This discord has the best chance to fill the power vacuum and provide a new discord order for Aion to thrive in, I suggest you join it if you want to join any Aion discord.
