We really don't know which community is causing the issues and saying its the other one is just pointing fingers without having any kind of proof of it. We all know each community has members who dont view the boards and just do what they want. Active hacks or not you can still get banned or suspended but a simple petition and a GM watching you.
If you didn't think these 2 servers would be flooded with boxer all over the place you are just putting blinders on and looking the other way. We all knew it would happen as the community of MQ has been known and getting more popular the last 5 years. The longer people play and see the need to fill in their time with creating another account for 1 more box to add to their collection. They start adding up and this is what you get, people who box more toons because macros/plugins are widely available for all classes in the simple way. Back then, you had to teach yourself how to write macros and code some of these things to make it easier by adding another box. KISS Assist....MQ2Bot...
MQ2Melee... these are some of the things that have made it so much easier for anyone to add 1 more box to their belt, so please don't give me the "This Community is Innocent" BS.
We have all seen the recent news of them dealing with boxers and even tossing up the idea of 1 account per computer idea. Which will be very interesting to see if someone comes up with a fix for that but if not, some people will still box the old ways with multiple computers and still be able to do the same thing if they have the hardware. We shall see.
We all knew mages were powerful for this expansion so it was not a shocker as certain expansions and key classes were they are too powerful. Soon enough we will have Monks who are too overpowered, or wizards with mana burn crews running around, or rangers with headshot. This has been nothing new as we have all experienced this stuff from the past. Bring back old content you will get every person who knows the insides of it and run the server. Old quest that never got fixed for exploiting... it will be done again.
If they truly wanted the progression experience, they would of fixed the use of MQ2 itself being used for that server and a good chance none of these issues would be happening. Why haven't they done this?? good question. I think I even read some place that they daybreak made more money on progression server then with live for the entire year of profits because of Kronos being used to trade for gear and subscriptions they have for the servers
Anyways the point of it is that when the admins/devs of the site release mq2 content, they will have to accept responsibility/blame for it also.
