How many staff members are we talking here?

From what I've seen personally 3-4. There really needs to be a tutorial on how to stealth, when Admins come into towers, they pretty much make their presence known.

We don't have that many staff who are invested in 'tower' guilds.

Nvm, theres probably only about 2-4 actually in tower guilds, but from what I've seen there's about 3-4 Admins that usually respond to tower issues. Im not sure how they respond to reports, but they should make sure they're not go ring to get damaged right when they warp to.  

Wow I think I actually agree with Thallen for once lol. I don't know if this is what you're thinking but basically Admin guilds have 2 advantages. First one being EXTREMELY easy recruits and admin guilds fail to acknowledge this when it's obvious, second is if an enemy guild is glitching, lagging, hacking, or anything else like that they can simply ban them as they please, while other guilds have to send a bunch of reports and most of the time by the time an admin gets off there butt to help, the enemy stopped. Not to mention, I've seen admins use there admin account to scout towers lol. My point: Look at all admin guilds, take the admin out of the guild, and the guild would of failed miserably.

Another point I realized I just forgot: You signed up for your staff position, it was your choice, therefore you should be doing your job a bit more and stop taking advantage of your admin rank for your tower guild.  

As of right now: Aster, Envy, Neo, Furryamigo, Queen of <3s, Reemas, and several others are in a few of the more competitive tower guilds. I'm sure there are more, but those are just some names. Not saying that they've all done or even been accused of doing stuff they shouldn't.

Check Abel's profile right now, his status complaining about being banned for "lagging." His guild pic even shows Aster PMing him about it before apparently banning him. I'm sure this was when Abel was attacking her guild at a fort, coincidentally. Let's assume that he was lagging himself or whatever, that seems to happen at every fort. Vintage's advantage is immediate access to that admin. I could report the same dude for lagging 20 times and not see a thing happen.

And then there's this girl:


She literally goes completely invisible to scout out forts and apparently (saying apparently because I didn't see this part) kills people and attack flags. I confronted her about it and told her I'd be talking to other admins about it and she starts guilt-tripping and changing up her story from "WUT R U TALKING ABOUT?" to claiming she was lagging. When stuff like this is happening at forts, it sucks.

I can't even block a doorway vs. guilds like Vintage because I am literally fearful that I will be banned. It's almost like a strategy to recruit admins now.  

So vintage took castle from SON, they knew they couldnt keep for long, so they needed a way to stop it. I found this unfair, because they spawn back in the same space in that area... we then took back, having to heal inside and regroup. I then had the idea to do the exact same thing she did, and i got warped and a warning €.€ see the problem?

Staff aren't allowed to use their powers in forts. Nor are they allowed to have a "presence" there by standing on the wall or whatever or showing off around others.

Okay.

Pidgin history screenshot of me talking to a guildmate, just to show you that we literally have to strategize against admins:

Similar story: Aran, Ramone, Exalt*, and myself were defending Swamp fort from Vintage. We were all on a subtag slashing at the entrance and literally killing everyone before they even got into the water. On screen, Aster starts threatening to send us a warning for "boosting." ?!?!?! Boosting because you're running into our swords as we strategically defend a fort? This all occurred right before Envy turned into The Invisible Woman and helped her guild steal the fort from us.

After they took it, we go in to attack and they are doing the exaaact same thing that Aster had just threatened to warn us for.

Stopped reading here, no **** they would ban if someone is hacking/glitching..

You're posting this as if your guild didn't get 5 of us banned on day one and proud of it, but alright brother!

What a joke.

Ok raging kid, the hacking/glitching stuff I mean an admin guild can ban you instantly, as a normal guild has to report and sometimes once the admin arrives they stop and get away with it. That's what I meant lol, made it fairly obvious. Once again, that was a time reports worked because you guys were stupid enough to continue lag/chat blocking even after the admins arrived and even warned some of you, not my fault. The blockers were in the hallway spamming emotes and talking in front of the trap room door, you were all banned for an actual reason. You fail, talk to me when you calm down a bit, and actually make some sense k?

@Thallen Not many people even know Neo is an admin lol and he only helps sometimes, most of the time when he's on he's with his guild Scarlet. He is not like a perm/leader in a tower guild so he's not really taking advantage of his admin rank like others.  

I think what he means is that the admins are allowed to block and do not get in trouble, and when players see their GREAT ROLE MODELS they mimick them when the admin guild loses the tower. But because they have powers, and some immature or just unfair, they warp bann or warn you.
But yes i agree about how admins have a right of passage to immediatly drop the bann hammer, or to warp you, when we have to wait, or its overlooked.

How about not hacking/glitching?  

The problem is that this discussion has nothing to do with glitching or hacking. Idk where goten got that from. The problem is that admins abusing, or being hypocrytes. They block, they lose, it gets over looked, we block, we get banned to benefit them .

Since you are actually smart and apparently staff:

Can you explain to me why that is illegal? People were literally banned for taunting another guild by doing the AFK emoticon while blocking and saying stuff like "EZ," I don't get it. This guy seems to be under the impression that it is illegal in some way, and whichever admin handed out the bans seems to think so as well.

Are these people under the impression that hitting Ctrl+A somehow extends the length that you're able to block in a doorway?

If you're referring to lag/chat blocking it's the same thing, usually after reporting it's too late to catch them in the act.

@Arann Also 2 of my members were also banned on that day for blocking back. I realize this and I don't complain about it because they broke a rule and got banned.

They were also talking on purpose in front of door which was extending there time. I think someone got Male on video clearly doing it and it was taking hits forever to recognize on him. I also know that Hikaru wasn't doing the emotes, he was just straight up chat blocking.
