What's considered extortion?

  1.  question above, i.e. is asking to drop an rs considered extortion or nah?
    Could email support but I'm too lazy.
     
  2. Dropping rs, club tags, etc aren't considered as types of extortion; or at least that's what support is claiming. :roll: it's not accurate because they can "intervene in special circumstances" whatever the hell that means.
    Edit* Just refrain from speaking to farms in the first place to avoid all this crap and stop hitting when you feel like it. Problem solved.

  5. We cannot tell you op. Pimd cannot even tell you. They say somethings ok then tell you you're gonna be banned for doing it. The best thing to do is do whatever the hell you want. Its your game you downloaded on your phone. If the apes wanna ban us then let them. If Im banned I already know what game im putting on my phone with all the free space i get from uninstalling this pos game thats forcing us out the door for playing the way we always have.

    Rant complete

  10. but not lazy to reply?
     
  11. I don't even get this. I don't get anything lately. Stupid age. Stupid beer. Stupid forums.
     
  12. I think anything that involves ecs can be considered extortion. You can't make people spend their real money on stuff. Again each case is handled individually. I don't get why this is so difficult for people to understand.

    As for spamming jobs and the wheel, that does take bloody forever to earn enough ec to actually do anything.
     
  13. It's not difficult to understand. What's difficult to understand is why ATA has gray areas with everything and why certain cases are "special" and therefore handled differently. The confusion therein lies with what ATA tells us VS what they're actually doing. If people are gonna be punished for doing something that ATA originally deemed as unpunishable, they should've told us from the start rather than saying "there are gray areas."
     
  14. I think I'm going to save this for Copy+Paste purposes.
     
  15. I think there's grey areas because there are different extremes of how far people can take it. They probably "intervene in special circumstances" when things have gone too far. Since extortion is by definition, "the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats", I could see how in extreme cases that could be carried out on this game. Even blocking that person, most of us have the abilities to make alts or other ways to still talk to and potentially harass people that have us blocked. But changing a name or making someone drop an rs is like a bully stealing a kid's lunch money in my opinion. No one is going to charge that bully with extortion. I do completely agree with you though, they should not punish players who are doing things that they said was ok.
