[World Boss Ardeth]

Oh I would beg to differ with you on this point... There is discrimination alright and now there is even worse, Retaliation, such as someone posting a bullhorn message stating that my main was banned from all faction things.  and for what?  Because you didn't like that I complained about being discriminated in this game because I was, and it was because I was in the Mythical legion.  I mean in reality my main doesn't need anything from those WB anymore anyway and is fully geared already so not much really needed anymore there so what do you think banning me NOW from all things will accomplish for you other than feed your hatefulness even more.  I also have many level 85 characters that no one even knows who they are,  so what do you hope to accomplish?  You going to start banning all character names you don't recognize or are not even in a legion?  It's hatefulness and harassment too, and because  I complain about the injustice of what you and the legions are doing to exclude good people and players from participation,  the damage you are doing to our already suffering game and how you treat other players who want to participate is really sad if you ask me.   I think all the legions that are in the league for Ardeth have many good people, some of them are friends of mine who I like very much.  But as I have learned in the last few months there are bad ones too, and if bad ones didn't exist we wouldn't even be having this discussion.  There would have been no reason to complain about what you are doing to other good players in the game.   It's not simply for myself either.  It's for all people not only in my legion but other legions who are not permitted to participate, simply because they are not in an approved legion. I'm concerned that we  even have to have arguments about allowing someone to join an alliance and to play in a game they may be paying to play just like you, and can't,  because there are people that are blocking or gatekeeping in this game and who knows maybe its your thing to be mean I really have no idea.  But what I do know is that after a week of returning to the game, I got into your alliance for Ardeth,  I know that I got kicked out of the alliance after fighting the boss and right before it died so no credit.  That was a pretty dirty thing to do if you ask me and no way you will ever justify what you did or what you are doing.  I was told it was because of my legion or my BG said this or did that. 

In fact my BG you complain about I have known for years in this game and I can tell you straight up that she is a better person than the hateful people trying to block or ban us from participation.   She and even myself have jobs, work for a living and she struggles with taking care of her elderly mother so please don't judge people with the limited knowledge you have.. No amount of anything you can case will ever make what you are doing to this game Okay!

 

I don't judge anyone, and I don't have any power in the game at all, I only read your comment, where you talk about discrimination, religions, race and other things, where first nobody knows anyone's face or life, we only see a character that was created on an NCSoft platform, so you can hardly talk about discrimination, I don't know who you are and you don't know who I am, I just know that all the BGs were talked to and if your BG didn't want that problem, fix it with her, I don't I don't belong to any league or anything like that, because really I only go in to play, not to cry for things that are irrelevant, I also have a life like everyone else, the game is just that... I play, it's not another life, As I see that you take it, if they wrote to you with a megaphone or I don't know what, it's not my problem, you want to solve the problem that you and your BG cause, so solve it as it should be, act like an adult that I think you should be, if not you see it now funny, I feel sorry for you. And then tell your BG to delegate his position to someone who does know how to carry out the role of BG and who cares about the members of his legion, and to continue taking care of his mother that nobody prevents him, and as I said at the beginning no one knows anyone's life in the game and do you know why? Because it's a game, I'm sorry you're upset but that can only be resolved by talking and if you don't want to understand, it's a pity for you, because those who are in the game, it's because they have never stopped playing it and are up to date on everything.

Hello Everyone,

First off I'm hesitant to even post this because of all the hatefulness out there.  But for the love of the game I have, the only game I play, I really feel I need to do this.  Not only for myself but for other players  paying or not, who feel they have been discriminated against and being cheated out of game content and rewards when it comes to trying to participate in the Apsa world boss Ardeth league.   I have removed the names to protect individuals privacy but this has been a big concern of mine after returning to the game after a 1 year absence.  I do not think this is fair and I do not think that I should be told if I want to participate in Ardeth world boss I need to leave my legion and join one that is allowed in the league.  People this game is meant for all of us to enjoy,  excluding entire legions or "individuals in those legions" from joining an alliance or League is not okay in my opinion. 

Hoarding the rewards by certain elite groups/legions and trying to make up your own rules of the game I really don't think that is okay either.   I'm not doing this to cause anger but in reality we all play together and should do that fairly without discrimination and bias.   There are actually organizations out there that have been getting more involved in this aspect of discrimination, doxing, hate, harassment, religion, color, gender identity against large groups of people in online gaming.  This practice seems to be a bigger issue than most people think and in some cases even led to suicides etc.  

So all I'm doing here is trying to get  you to open your eyes a little and respect other people also want to participate in all Aion game content and it should not be closed out to anyone.  I hope for your support in this matter rather than your hate.. but do what you must and I will keep fighting the fight to make our game experience better than this..  It's not very friendly or fun to be putting together your alliance and league and have to worry about what legion name is next to a persons name... a person you may not know anything about except that.

Hello Senior GM ,  

Well thank you very  much for responding and I can only hope that during your investigation and looking into your rules of conduct and user agreement that you do have provisions in there that protect users rights. and to protect groups of users (or legions) from discrimination or bias against other legions.  One group of people, should not be preventing other groups of paying players (or even free to play players) from participating in game content, Good people who have invested much time and money in this game, Everyone should able to join an alliance league without worry of being discriminated against.  Such as being prevented from doing Ardeth a world boss in the game, simply because you belong to a legion named "XYZ" or any other legion for that matter. 

 In this day and time we all know how discrimination, bias and doxing, hate or harassment can be damaging on so many levels and honestly it should not be allowed at any level.  I certainly hope that Aion/NCSoft would not be supportive of this kind of bad in-game behaviour by certain individuals.  It doesn't matter the reason, to disallow certain individuals or groups of individuals from participation is not okay.   This game is open 24x7 and sometimes a legion can not always participate or have an alliance in every single time the boss is there and up. 

Also I understand if there was someone from a legion that was ninja looting unfairly then that person needs to be dealt with individually (you do not discriminate against a whole group of people).  In fact it seems to me that "BlahBlahBlah" and his minions have ninja the whole Ardeth WB boss away from many players. You do not ban entire legions or close out participation and only let those you like into a league.  This should be an open option to all players regardless of legion name, color, race, gender or any other discriminating factors.  

 

In closing, If you do not specify this in your rules of conduct and leave it up to players like "BlahBlahBlah" to decide who he/she likes or who he/she doesn't then who is controlling the rules of the game?  Is it Aion/NCSoft or "BlahBlahBlah?

I realize these things take time and my expectations on something like this is that it should be simple "DO NOT DISCRIMINATE OR HOLD BIAS AND DISALLOW ENTIRE GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS OR LEGIONS FROM PARTICIPATION IN GAME CONTENT THAT IS MEANT FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY" "CEASE AND DISMISS THIS PRACTICE IMMEDIATELY".   I do hope that Aion will do the right thing and not allow this type of Bias or Discrimination and that all players should be treated equally, fairly and have the same opportunities as everyone else regardless of their legion name.

I do hope you do the right thing going forward with this matter.   But how will I know that I can apply for the Ardeth WB in an alliance or even start a "XYZ" legion alliance without being told "NO" you can't join.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess we will see how this turns out in the end... 

Thanks in advance for your support... I really look forward to being able to play the game fully and not limited to doing certain things because of the legion I'm in.
  

Hello, first of all, there is no discrimination, or anything like that, the problem is the lack of collaboration from the legions when they want to conquer Apsa camps, just as they do not participate as a league at all, they have spoken with the BG of the legions and always They remain the same, in that they are individualists and do not think about the well-being of their members, you want Agent for example, support in conquering camps, but they do nothing, if you are participatory it changes, but if they have existed what the ninja are, and by doing so you can't later claim anyone because the BG doesn't care if it's a game so keep taking it as it is, you haven't played for a year, so first update yourself on what's happening, asmoses are conquering camps, That's good, only they are the same or worse, because they don't set up a league or anything to do anything, because they are still more individualistic, the P2W only play to do PvP, don't you want to change the legion? don't do it but then be a BG of your legion and speak as such for the welfare of your legion, because here I actually see that you are crying for yourself and not for those of your legion. And in your logic, you see it as easier to change the faction than to change the legion, we talked to your BG and he did not want to participate, so the problem is with your BG, not with those of the league... for the same reason, investigate the problem better .

The WB participate from everywhere and we don't know what they are like or anything
