Resets...

(I wasn't sure quite where to post this)
As if things weren't bad enough with auto resets and resets from the sack and death by PKers, I was reset by Er1c today.

He had a reason, I had used a bug to level, the one where casting a spell could wipe the room clean of items, refreshing them and therefore allowing you to identify items an infinite amounts of times for EXP. I was level 10 when I was reset due to a sack bug. In a day or two, I had reached level 8 again. Okay, so it was an unfair advantage to level so high, so quickly. I understand that and I was reset when it got fixed. Even though I wasn't abusing my power or anything, the most I ever did was Kill PKers that were killed newbies left and right at the starting beach.

Great. Now, beyond the fact that I was one of the people who reported the bug and that this is an Alpha server used specifically for testing, and that I still did WORK for my exp...did Er1c HAVE to reset my items as well? My ap, my time, EVERYTHING? I had level 3 or 4 in physical, I earned that on my own right from killing monsters.
Then again, I don't think Er1c has the power to DO that though...

Besides that, when I said that DragonX and even Er1c himself leveled using that bug, he replied "We are staff." and "We are allowed to test the bugs." Then he reset me, then he ignored all of my PM's after that and logged off several minutes later.

Now, okay wait. So DragonX and Er1c can use bugs to "test" them but Player's can't do anything about the bug? I SAW DragonX and Er1c USE the bug and several other people use it. As far as I know, only two people were reset, including myself. So shouldn't the staff who were only "testing the bug" enough to reach level 8 be reset as well? Otherwise, wouldn't that be abusing staff powers?

Oh, I just checked on Graal 2k2. Er1c was level 10 with over 586,000 exp (I had about 180,000 exp when he reset me) and DragonX was level 8.


Don't get me wrong, I don't wan't Er1c or DragonX fired. They both do a great job with Graal 2K2. I just don't believe they should get any benefits from the bugs they are working on before they get fixed, whereas the players who abuse bugs get reset.
