I was driven away because my needs weren't catered to. I've already stated all my "whining" and don't feel like regurgitating them again.

Also, many times when I brought up concerns I was subjected to snide remarks and accusations of whining, usually by smug, superior people who didn't understand or did not care about my difficulties and saw the need to belittle me.

Can't find my own post.

Anyway. I disappeared after several frustrating weeks were I was mostly playing by myself. Also I am dealing with a heckload of personal problems right now. My dad's cancer has relapsed, and my sister was just diagnosed with leukemia. I want to log in, but I mostly don't really have the mood or the patience. This isn't goodbye

Dealing with alot of personal issues right now. Dad's cancer has relapsed and my sis is currently in the isolation ward getting a bone marrow biopsy.

I really don't understand why shitty summons don't have longer life. I wouldn't mind having a whole tier of "lousy" summons that do nothing but act as distraction and protection for the caster, but they last a very long time. This would actually allow wizards to travel solo without being invis 24/7

Honestly don't know if the server is more toxic than it was before. It was pretty damn toxic in years past. However, things are much more equal these days with DMs being held to higher standards.

Spelling out CUNT to the KING is rather suicidal though

Think the only way this works is to have a 3 individual parties holding power, with some reason to cooperate, and other reasons to work together. Splitting power is the only way this works, and there has to be some incentives to get people to work together most of the time. For example, there has to be some sort of checks and balances to power, which can be performed by PCs in game, as this is a LAWFUL and GOOD country where coup de'tat can't really win.

So there has to be some form of INTER-dependency for all major government factions to survive. Like, a circular dependency between Courts, Ministry, Militia, so while they can "fight" each other, they also need to cooperate to some extent, or each has internal problems.

For example
Militia might need funding from the Ministry to make payday.
The Ministry needs the Courts to support their legislations and laws.
The Courts need the Militia to run the jails and keep order.

The PDs might be dependent on the Ministry for food and logistics, the Court to judge law in the country, and the Militia for special investigators, since the PDs are good at fighting, but not finding criminals.

Everything should be a balancing act, and doing things should have CONSEQUENCES.

I remember being told about another player making use of an exploit, and that this player only revealed it to them DMs after profiting from it immensely. Like, enough to make a difference in PvP and in-game events with far reaching consequences. Unfortunately I was not able to tell the DMs about it then due to the problems I was facing in game.

Grinding is something I loathe in CoA. Its why I struggle to log in some times, especially during off peak hours, where there is nothing but grinding.
