RoW spawn rate? and the gear situation in general.

Ban length on each individual banned account is set, but there isn't anything like a list of rules with breaking this rule = this punishment, so two different players can receive different punishments for the same crime.

That was the old staff team. Some stuff has actually been done since Tig got manager position.

Like...?
I haven't heard of these updates.

That's true... It's just supposed to be common sense and not being abusive with it...

A decent suggestion will present an alternative to the present system in question, or an addition to "repair" or upgrade. An example "Anti-Suggestions" might be... "The idling on GK sucks" while a suggestion might look more like "The idling on GK sucks, we should enforce disconnection after extended periods of inactivity in addition to scipts to detect and report macro use".

To be blunt the sort of statements such as the one I have quoted strikes me as quite stupid. I have previously asked for players productive input and I found it was hard to find; between the lack of interest I had to deal with anti-suggestions. The results were useless.

I welcome suggestions, but that doesn't mean they will be developed. Any people serious about their suggestions may want to take the time to refine it.

One suggestion I have anyone who wishes to express their disappointment might be to avoid sweeping generalizations like "the staff"; there is no burgeoning force working around the clock to develop new material for GK. There is only Tigairius and myself with the exception of the few kingdom related staff - who are typically idling.

First try playing the game on a trial account.
Do you like what you're getting?
If not, change it.

Now try playing the game as a newbie with Gold.
Do you like what you're getting NOW?
If not, change it.

Repeat this process while you're going through the levels, as well as take ideas from players if they have any good ones.

That's called incentive. It's so users have incentive to upgrade. Cyberjoureurs utilize irritation for incentive, much like Microsoft does with their "Genuine Advantage" scheme. There are other equally effective means, but that is the one they chose for their server. I don't think we have much play with it.

This is called a challenge. You do not like being new because you have nothing. The challenge is to get stuff.

You have only offered a process for deriving ideas of my own, I am still very happy to hear yours. But don't forget that I did not simply walk on GK one day and suddenly become staff - I had to play, and that was long before there were as many nice people as there are now. Things were much less "friendly" back then.
