I find it hilarious that someone actually thought they should waste their time on this update. Granted, this privacy excuse is BS, but the excuse that the flag is meant to inform is also BS. Neither this game, nor anyone in it cares what country you are in at the current moment. The flag actually is/was meant to represent the player, not their location. I understand other games use this current location aspect as a way of simply showing you where in the world people are playing, but we all know that this isn't the case on Graal. I can't believe this is even a discussion considering this is a giant joke. As a note: I don't care that much about this to the point where someone sensitive will be offended by my statement and go on some rant to provoke a response. Honestly, the flag was just a way of expeessing yourself, and is pretty stupid in a game like this to use the location feature to show where players are playing from.

Where does it state any of this on the game?

Helps spot those who use VPN. That alone is enough reason.

state what? I never said anything was stated on the game. It was my truthful opinion. I realize some people need everything written out to understand something, but I'm sensible enough to understand a concept without it being clearly stated. This is the case of the flag being used as expression.

They already have access to your IP Address, they don't need your flag to be displayed in your profile to do this.

Okay, so it's your opinion that the flag was intended to be used for expression. It is the staff team's opinion that it is to be used to identify where people are from.

I live in australia, but have gypsy blood.
You see me complaining for a Romanian flag? no. It doesn't show where my family is from, it shows where i am.

Really like this update.

Not everyone is a sparrer (i consider myself one, but I don't use a vpn and I don't spar actively anymore for reasons I can't be bothered to discuss)

It's so the players know, not so the staff knows...

There should have been an in game poll for players to decide whether they felt this way. Because realistically the feature was entirely unnecessary.

You don't need to know, scrub.

Firstly, you can already tell based on your poll that it would have been done anyway.

Secondly, LOL.

You could say that about any change that has been met with disagreement. I don't see the need to make a poll about a decision that has already been made. It won't be an issue in a week.

woah

This makes for an interesting debate now that there are two strong conflicting arguments
(Pig and rofos)

What if everyone quits because of this?
(Joke btw, it's nowhere near that serious lmao)

Poll Results: Should we be given back our choice of flags?
19.51%	give us the choice of flags again
23.17%	Give us a hidden/no flag option
57.32%	Don't fix this because I'm concerned where strangers are located
Voters: 82. You may not vote on this poll
