2. Play to enjoy the game
Do: value other players for their in-game contributions and activities, and respect their style of play. While we encourage competitive play where appropriate (e.g., player versus player modes), keep it friendly and respectful.
Do not: engage in behaviors that reduce or disrupt the enjoyment of the game for others. This includes spamming chat, griefing, throwing matches, boosting, win-trading, trolling, or spoiling the game by sharing unreleased or confidential materials.
An actual war effort puts the strongest in as an effort to win. Putting the strongest is kind of the way to demonstrate you want to win and NOT THROW. Anything else can be addressed with skepticism. The fact the company that owns the territory plans to leave, for the exact company attacking, is a little convenient isn’t it?

They are just giving lower level people war experience man. No rules against that. It will suck if the Covenant take it lol.

Doesn’t matter as it’s a fact that it’s being thrown to the Covenant Grove company. But please, keep shoving the lower levels in to a rigged match. That proves a violation of TOS.
Really should learn to read the TOS and game set rules that ALL players must agree to, whether they read them or not.

Yeah too bad they aren’t just throwing low level people in lol. They are just doing a first come- first serve to all marauders. Nothing against TOS there.

Who do you think looks worse here? The guy who brought the petty political squabbles of his server onto the General forum of the entire game, or… well, the answer seems obvious.

How can you come here and lie blatantly like this in front of everyone?
Im disappointed you guys try to fuck over a server like that and try to defend it like this.
You are Trading an Area, its straight up in the TOS.

You know that excuse would have worked perfectly if we didn’t have True admitting to throwing it earlier on lol
Not from this server but just letting people know to not count on Amazon to do anything. They wouldn’t even kick people out the early alphas in 2018 and caused this game to change direction to pve because the devs buddies testing the game wouldn’t stop exploiting and wouldn’t let people play the game and test it. These devs are a very weird bunch and the main amazon company obviously let’s this game division of their company run wild.
This haha,
The thing is, these snippets were part of a close to 2 hour recording and were towards the end.
The juicy stuff has been saved for leaders and Amazon CS.
Just bring this back to the bottom, in case people are having trouble reading.

Turns out this has been covered before and resulted in bans. Shame but if you break the rules you have to face the consequences.

I want to add in here and highlight that True (governor of Grove and soon to be part of Amber Vanguard, now named Groveant) kicked all Marauders out of the invasion 10 seconds before it started, leaving only Covenent members of Amber Vanguard remaining. How is this not a throw?
Look at the names involved here and the names defending Grove’s actions in this forum post. Guilty.

I don’t have a dog in this fight either, I don’t care about any of this, but I just wanted to let you know, your wrong. In the early Alphas they let players run roughshod because they wanted to see what real people would do.
This is not a test, this is the live service, and they don’t let anything slide. People have already gotten hit with the ban hammer for this. And I bet it will happen again.
My random guy two cents is it looks bad for the guild and that True guy. Some people in here defending him are not refuting some basic points.
The most important point: Is that guild moving to covenant or not? OP said their members mostly left and are all part of the new guild in covenant.
It would have been very easy to say “Op is crazy, no one left the guild or only a couple people and went to covenant”. But since it appears that is exactly what happened, sounds pretty suspect.
Guys. This is Serious. Business.
Oh, it’s real. All confirmed with evidence.
Most of the leadership swapped early in the day and started to exploit the Invasion Rep Gain bug. Using known exploits is against the TOS.
They took the gold from their second company, which can only be done by the Gov. of said second company. Done a couple of hours before they disbanded the second company. This is not speculation, but fact.
Pulling people off an Invasion, when it was fully stacked with faction/outfaction people, to ONLY have people from the Cov company that they are moving to is considered Griefing/Throwing Match. Both are against TOS and bannable.
Only filling the roster in a war with low leveled players “so they can experience war” is a cheap way to Win-Trade territories. Win-Trade if you are not aware, is when a company purposely loses a war to “Trade” that territory to their new company/faction. This is again, against the TOS.
It all comes down to how Amazon will handle this now and in the future.

That’s one of many issues when you put EVERYTHING under player’s control.
Explain to me how the devs telling only their buddies where to find the high value chests up north with azoth so they could buy the best land first and stop all testing of the game was what real people would do? That’s the exact opposite. I can understand if everyone had the same chance but they didn’t let it play out naturally so there was no useful data ever to work with. That being said the old version would of never worked out because the sweats would of figured it out and trolled the casuals anyways. I’m just pointing out what kind of devs run this game its a total joke and this game is already dying regardless. I’ve reported so many exploiters and I still see them running around taking 800 crits in light armor, while I hit non exploiters in full heavy for 1100 normal attacks.
This is why we need more pvp options aside from war.
After listening to more of True (Marauder) Grove Leaders chat last night once the invasion was over you can hear someone say “Ward already over they lost it” followed by laughing and Everfall dropping 5 levels including 3 defence.
Someone else then says “You were right True, defense did get downgraded”
So they even threw the invasion to make EF even weaker when they flip it.
Earlier on in the day True has also told Cov players the plan is to “Flip Everfall” which even if taken out of context still proves this has been planned.
He has been told earlier today before the war was even declared what he was planning is against the rules.
I even told them others have been named but they continued regardless and have even now changed the covenant company name to Grovenant because they believe they are above the rest and rules do not apply. This is why Marauders are glad to see them go but ashamed that their first legacy is that cheat and exploit the system with no regard for playing fair.
We are now forced to watch marauder territory get handed to the covenant without a fight, territory we have helped finance, helped defend and helped maintain.
I wish the Covenant on Folkrangr all the best and I wish you luck in dealing with these individuals.
