McGyver never got banned..McGyver didn't do anything wrong, Reck is the one who tried to scam someone

I'm actually surprised there are even rules regarding lending since most other games would leave the risk entirely to the player for lending items out instead of selling them

The reason is because Staff do not condone scamming. It's not needed and unethical. We enforce safety in whatever you do AS LONG AS A PR IS WATCHING! It's not hard to follow the rules.

Being a PR or whatever its called now, is the simplest job you can receive on the Staff Team. Without them monitoring lending trades, their job would be 80% easier =/. Then what will they do? They'd be a useless waste of space, so in case they haven't realized it yet, I hope they do now. The less you have to do, the less of a job you'll have, doesn't take long for people to realize, "all they do is answer questions now?! why not remove RC and FAQ?#@#?23!' And voula, you just lost your position.

So, stop whining.

Nah, they'd just cut back. PRs need to upload/do things with set attr (like for hack-related scams, or like house/car trades). You couldn't take their RC really. That's why there only used to be a couple GPs though, whereas now there's like 10 of them.

Like you said, they'd probably cut back 50-80(percent) of them. But that's just hypothetical, I don't think the policy on scamming is about to change haha.

I am sorry but a Pr needs to watch to be safe but they don't like for you to lend for longer then around 10 minutes. I normally just talk to squirt or Erik because I get told to go to squirt by others, or if I ask Erik he will ask someone else if he needs help on some Parnell of it. Needless to say I don't lend guns anymore and the only people who have access to my storage are ones who have no reason to steal my items or don't like the guns I leave in there. I don't wish to lose my pbp again

i never saw why people hated scamming...it helps makes everyone stronger and betters people as players

People hate scamming well for one theyve been scammerd, and two the scammer hasnt earned that item which the other person worked hard for.

I don't see what scamming has to do with lending.

If you're not sure if you can trust someone you probably shouldn't let them borrow it. Like I said, no other game I am aware of would go through such trouble, and if this is how it's going to work you might as well just develop a lending system rather than have it individually monitored

It would allow for the PR team to be cut down to almost nothing so of course they won't go for a system

You make it sound like there is so many PRs in the first place. I only like limited spots and compared to other servers our team is small. For example, Zodiac has around 11 PRs and we only have like 7. Also, we usually have way more players than Zodiac.

if my staff team consisted of 7 PRs HoudiniMan would of had my balls, lol.

I don't think it would hurt to have a few more, to be honest.

It's 7 PRs including me. In actuality that number is pretty low compared to the player count of Era.

If anyone is interested in knowing what that count is, in the last 2 weeks:

2084 unique accounts have logged on
815 of those have more than 100 hours
977 were trials

We've also had ~300 support tickets to deal with since its release (~2 weeks).
