    Just one thing to add about trolls, this game is not F2P, if you start trolling people and a GM swing a banhammer to your face you can't just create another account, if you want to troll people again pay 40$, so I don't think trolls are gonna be a big problem (well maybe for the orks...)

    Trolls are a fairly small % even in F2P, its just that their actions cause a huge disruption for their size. I do think a banhammer should be swung wide and far to deal with those who disrupt the community to handle those trolls. (I am still glad its at least buy 2 play)

    Now bandwagon players are a healthy chunk, and imo ensuring the war efforts are protected from bandwagon players throwing balance mid battle is a huge factor.

    No one likes playing games that are one-sided, and thats what those bandwagon players create when factions swell during battles due to players joining the "winning" faction or one that has traditionally won the most.

    Snowballing gameplay is bad. The rate at which players can switch faction, if there is no Factionlock of some kind during events, would probably be much faster than that of Tyranids spawning or balancing...and if the Tyranids are too effective at hamstringing the #1 faction then guess what...those bandwagon jumpers will just keep shifting as necessary.

    So I guess in the end Tyranids win lol.

    As long as the faction lock is not too long I am ok with it.

    Speaking of trolls, I hope that EC bans them instalty, so the game doesn;t get too clogged up with them.

  5. Speaking of bans, we are all in agreement that admins play the game as Inquisitors, correct?

    How long would it be before they started nuking fortresses with EXTERMINATUS due to HERESY AGAINST THE GOD-EMPEROR?
  9. A mod would definitely have to witness the cheating or harassment first hand before the bans hit.

    That one flew right by you it would seem.:D
    Considering I (and subsequently you) are heretics an Inquisitor would have every right to ban us simply due to what we are. Hence we would need a different non biased role model for a mod. Like an Enslaver.
