    I say, for the 1st offense = perma ban

    Why?

    This is considered as bug exploit and exploits like this is bannable even if you say that this bug is on server side. We all know that flying in the prohibited areas are bannable and why still abuse it? Because the user intended to fly and kill and I say perma ban them all. 1 hour jail is just too lame even a 3 days ban wont make them learn their lessons. Give them perma ban and im 90% sure they wont do it again.

    i personally like fly abusers as a ranger ;) no matter how high they are as long as u can still target them and ur underneath them (on the minimap) u can still shoot them lol.. and if they're flying their range is still normal, so its really free kills for me :p but i still agree we should push harder to get bug abusers the hell out of here.

    I know what you mean but you have to understand, there's always players abusing parts of the game that are allowed but they just want to overdo it, about flying, if one flies then another gets pissed off after getting killed and decides to fly too, and since that system really doesn't work players are just going to find an easy way through it. I don't think banning players for that is a little drastic, because somehow over the time many of the servers' would be gone. The system should not have been implemented if not to work 100% properly but I guess they did not think well enough.

    Pretty much this. All it's done so far is give GMs a shitload of work, bloat forums with flight abuser reports, QQing about the flight abusers being *******s and that they should be banned, it's broken rifting completely (broken rift caps in eltnen/Morheim, now broken PvP in belu/heir), and it did NOT give people the ground pvp they asked for.

    Although I must say being dive bombed is a thoroughly creative way to enjoy pvp.

    It would make a lot more sense to remove the flight restriction until a time it can be implemented correctly, but sense isn't that common on this site. Hence why suggestions like "ban the abusers" are being taken seriously while "Remove the restriction till it's fixed" is dismissed as lunacy/QQing.

    Also, I would love to see how people will access Alukina's palace once the "fix"(borders) is implemented.

    borders never worked correctly. should just clip wings in restricted areas. It worked for a while on crystal before it was removed and replaced with a horrid new system which was easy to bypass also

    No matter what fix they implement, it'll render alukina's palace unreachable.

    jailing is not enough... taking away ALL their AP hurts more (is that even possible for a GM?) :rightful:

    We have a set AP command, however, it's use is iffy so it stays a lv3 command. Basically, instead of setting AP to a number, the AP command either adds or subtracts AP. The command won't be given to the lv1/2 (AM/SAM) GMs for fear that they might accidentally have a math fail and set someone negative. Bad things happen when people have negative numbers.

    I am personally trying very hard to get a strict and effective flight abuse punishment system approved and running. I'm also unhappy with the jail time and I would prefer that just the first offense will make players never want to abuse the flight glitch again. The fewer players that do this, the more time I can put towards catching hackers and keeping trades safe.

    flying

    You are referring to places out side the fortress correct

    in belusian/herion flying in the fortress is allowed and is not abusing the bug

    if ur referring to people that are are flying out side these areas then a harsher punishment should probably be implemented how ever if your referring to the fortresses then the gm's are not going to do anything about it because it is allowed

    that is not true. if you run the the entrance of alukina's palace, right next to the wall/door you can't run through.. just relog and you'll be able to fly straight up and inside. because the "allowed fly zone" runs just a little bit outside of the wall.

    just sayin

    Just wanted to make sure all the img's wont load for some reason and no one was specifying where these illegal fliers were abusing the bug....so i thought i would throw it out there seens no one had there may be some one reading this forum that didn't know something like that

    i wasn't accusing the crater of the thread of not knowing what he posted.
    but on that same note there is just as much of a likelyhood of creater being misinformed by fellow player as i am to be misinformed.

    If the information i provided is usless to you then ignore it and move on but there is a posiblity that some one read it and did not know

    "educate the newbs and knock the experience players down a notch to remeber what it was like"
