Resonance GM/Player actual situation

While this thread is concerned with GM position that deals with CA and GA too, i posted a thread on Gamez asking to read this. I invite everyone to say his opinion because this is a serious matter, especially on CA.
With this discussion i want to "denounce" Resonance's actual position, because he's a GM and still uses his characters to play the game.
Like all GMs know, this kind of things is forbidden, and i wonder why no one said it before. I have been GM too on WoW before playing Aion, and i had to sign what i can define a contract with a great number to rules i had to follow, and i'm pasting here only one of them just with the purpose to inform everyone:
"4) Game Masters can use their characters only to test the game and to look for bugs or fixes; A restriction is applied only with specific announced events. Therefore, playing the game is forbidden for all Game Master."
Now, there's no need of genious people to find out the reasons of this rule, but still i'll show only a few of them:
*GMs can modify player's lvl;
*GMs can modify player's money;
*GMs can modify player's AP;
*GMs can add or remove items, weapons, armors (premium too);
*GMs can kill whoever they want with just a click;
*GMs can ban players;
*GMs can add or remove titles to players (and so on...)
One more thing to remember and of absolute importance is that every GM must be neutral and impartial with all players (that's one more reason not to make GMs playing the game). Now, with that i'm NOT saying that the rule in red i pasted right before should be valid here aswell because i'm not GM, but those GM permissions are valid. Therefore, Resonance could just make ******* favours to whoever he wants (friends, guildmates etc etc) or ruin someone he just doen't like without letting anyone know about that, even Ash or all admins, and there are 2 aggravants for his situation:
1- (this is more a game exp i and some of my guildmates lived) - Like 2 weeks ago, i was in heiron with Pimpminister and other guildmates to pvp in new heiron gate. It just happened that everyone of us asmos were killed by admin everytime we killed a elyos (with ap lost too) only because we were pking them, and we were announced by him to leave elyos in peace. So the point was: elyos could pk us and we couldn't pk elyos, it was just like WTF is that!? Then we decided to denounce this and later we got our lost ap back. This example to show everyone that favoritisms can be easilly maken;
2- Resonance is even the guild leader of an elyos guild (The Dogg Father), so he could just favour his mates or add them abg items or whatever. PLUS, things get even worse if we consider that some of that guild members (Sany, Snoop - Reso Himself!) are hackers/bugabusers and have been banned for that reason (i just remind everyone of heiron diety abusing by Sany because you all know the other "hot events"), so i just find strange that GMs (the ones who should make rules respected) are the ones on top who just can abuse of their role.
No matter if he is friend of someone important, no matter what, If rules must be respected, then Resonance should not be playing the game and be GM at the same time, and to be more specific i'm not sure of his neutrality too because of his friendships and guildmates reports. In any case, if Reso wanna be GM, his playing characters should be deleted, otherwise if he wanna play the game he just cannot be GM, and his characters should be checked by GM comunity for possible favoritisms and addings (otherwise we all could just be GMs and play the game -.- WTF is that!?!?).

 

he rly say that to u ? xD hahah

 

They can't use their GM character to pvp.

 

dude for the 1: noone of your guilt members take a video to show as evidence?
2:can you prove that?
3: personal opinion of me,anyone is able to play even if he is gm when he continues online with his char
the most gms helps for free and support the server with donations,you cant tell em to stop play cause they have gm

for those from what i see from jule that i start here

Now, there's no need of genious people to find out the reasons of this rule, but still i'll show only a few of them:
*GMs can modify player's lvl;------------->no
*GMs can modify player's money;--------->modify no give yes
*GMs can modify player's AP;------------->only admins can
*GMs can add or remove items, weapons, armors (premium too);---------------->no that why a lot of people cries when they steal their items and noone gm can do nothink about it,only to jail the other players
*GMs can kill whoever they want with just a click;----------->dont know
*GMs can ban players;----------------->with proofs yes and they post it at the reports
*GMs can add or remove titles to players (and so on...)-------------->dont know

i dont want to protect em but you cant say thinks without proofs my friend

 

Have you ever seen Ash playing the game with another char? -.-

 

Yeah, but for pve only. Maybe Ash doesn't want to pvp, dunno.

 

Do you actually need prooves that resonance is a GM? i think the whole server knows it with no video evidence.

 

anyone can blame someone,even you can blame me now for speedhack,how can you support your words right now?im from gamezaion and I dont know the situation in crystal,need somethink to see it and support you

 

i knowed that this will hapend sooner or later hahahas lol
aniway i dun care ...

 

*GMs can modify player's lvl; SAMs+, golds and blues cant
*GMs can modify player's money; SAMs+, golds and blues cant
*GMs can modify player's AP; SAMs+, golds and blues cant
*GMs can add or remove items, weapons, armors (premium too); SAMs+, golds and blues cant
*GMs can kill whoever they want with just a click; With //kill perhaps but if this happens then it's an easy screenshot and report, yes you can report GMs as well.
*GMs can ban players; That's the purpose?
*GMs can add or remove titles to players (and so on...) SAMs+, golds and blues cant

 

Like Adieu said , Trainee GMs and regular GMs don't have most of the commands you've listed .

Not to mention that we cannot use our GM toons for PvP'ing , except for duel the GM events ...

 

Stop talking bullsh1t a GM can use their normal character to do anything. Including pvp. He can't give out gear because that's power abuse, and he never did anything like this. Stop talking about things you have no clue about. He's helping out with server bugs/problems and that's the payback?

His GM name is Fatal (asmo) and Ablazed (Elyos), not Resonance.

 

So what you are trying to say is that GM's can have no free time to play on a server that they GM on? Most GM's were once players on their respective servers and have invested a lot of time in their characters and many of them are not willing to just give that up on the spot. GMing is a volunteer position which means they can come and go when they need to so long as they do their job appropriately and are on enough to help the players, but eventually a lot of us get tired of just GMing all day and would like some respite to relax a little on our regular characters so we can also enjoy the game with our friends too. GM's would drop like flies if they couldn't.

I also once GMed on a WoW private server much like yourself and we had similar rules there. We could have normal toons to play the game but we were strictly forbidden from ever giving equipment to them. Plus Carl has a log of all GM commands used so if Res were to break any rules Carl would know and question him about it. Also as stated AM's dont even have most of the commands you listed. Regular AM's cannot spawn equipment, set levels ,etc.

Also never make an accusation without any sort of proof. You can say anything you want, but without any solid proof you just look like you are just angry at him for some personal reason.

 

^ Well said.

 

FYI members of staff are very much entitled to play here whilst they are not gm'ing that is on any normal account they may have.
Just because they have been given a title of GM doesn't mean they have to stop playing the game.
As for ppl saying that staff favor their friends/guildies over the rest of the community is very wrong indeed.
A gm or any other member of staff will treat every member of this community the same doesn't matter who they are or where they come from and thats a fact.

So tbh i think this threat should be closed as it seems to be a personal vendetta towards a member/members of staff.

 

Yes, for now this thread will closed. If you have any issues with any GM please PM it to that GM instead of posting it on the forum. If need be PM Ash as she is the Head GM of Crystal.

 

-GMs on Crystal and Gamez are allowed to have and play regular characters, this includes pvp and pve. Gms are not allowed, however, to use their GM chars to pvp or pve. The only exception to this rule is during Duel the GM.

-Most of the things you stated that GMs can do; As I'm Head GM of Crystal, I'm the only GM that can do them. AM's can port players for events, ban/jail/gag players, and mail prizes (that I add to them) for events. If you feel that I'm doing the things you stated, then please - by all means pm Carl and ask him to check again my GM logs, which he already does as Selik stated.

-Don't accuse staff or players without solid proof. It damages their reputation and makes you look like a fool.

-The situation in Heiron that happened a few weeks ago was taken care of by Carl. None of the current CA staff was staff at the time, excluding myself, and I guarantee you that was not me. Nor will I discuss that matter as Carl rectified the situation.

-There is nothing wrong with a current GM being a brigade general. As a matter of fact, I am the brigade general of 2 legions myself. As for who we allow to be members of our legion is our choice and our choice only.

-All GMs for Crystal and Gamez are volunteers. That means we get no payment whatsoever, including items, etc. We are GMs only for the sole purpose of hopefully making these servers better to play on. Now why would we so foolishly volunteer our time? We play on these servers with our regular characters so volunteering to be a GM is a great benefit to us. In all honesty, if Carl wouldn't allow us to play our regular characters, I can say for myself I would never have become GM.

-Before a statement can be made that GMs protect each other; If I feel that one of the GMs are abusing their power in any way, I will be the first one to report them, no matter who they might be. You obviously weren't around during the whole Hitkill situation & aren't a current staff member or you would know I have 0 tolerance for b******t out of fellow staff.

I have several regular characters I play. Very few players on the server know my character names or what legions to look for however. Before you ask - no I do not have to divulge that information. I keep it mainly a secret for two reasons - when I play my regular characters, I do not enjoy being bombarded with player questions and secondly, to avoid the very thing you are trying to accuse Ablazed of.
