So my question is why make an agreement as the EBA but not have everyone in said alliance agree to the terms? If Phaeros did not agree to the specific terms of the policy then fine all the power to them. Phaeros did however get to enjoy the benefits of the agreement which was no banditry and no tower capping. The treaty did not affirm their borders and claim to the hexes though and there was a mutual understanding that you could and would be killed if spotted pveing or gathering in our/their perceived territory. Phaeros finds some xelians pveing in "their" territory drives them out and takes a KB tower thinking that it might intimidate them enough to change their actions. Xelias being confused about Phaeros breaking the treaty attempts to seek clarification with the EBA about the seizure of the tower while at the same time mobilizing troops to retake the tower. It is revealed that Phaeros was not a signatory of the treaty which is fine and we stop applying the treaty that we had in place with the EBA in regards to Phaeros because apparently they did not agree to it. Thus we begin a campaign around phaeros and advise the rest of the EBA that did agree to the terms of the treaty to steer clear of the area. The rest of the EBA then decides to break the agreement we had in place because we are "Killing citizens in EBA territory." And here we are.

So to sum up apparently there was no agreement with phaeros, it is realized that there is no such agreement and Xelias does not apply the agreement to Phaeros. The rest of the EBA breaks their agreement saying that xelias broke their agreement.

Gaskon I don't know what you can't understand about the story here. People gathered in EBA territory, phaeros drives them off their land. Should have ended there. Phaeros decides to take an Xelian tower despite having knowledge of an agreement with xelias and TEO/KP to leave towers alone in exchange for no banditry against their settlements. Xelias had no agreement with the EBA in regards to sovereignty only that if you were spotted in enemy territory you would be killed. Golgotha drives phaeros off of their tower and begins killing citizens near phaeros for their agression and advises rest of Eba to steer clear. Eba comes to aid of their ally and seizes the majority of Golgothan towers one night. Golgotha expands banditry to rest of EBA. Phaeros took the actions that they did to try and bully the whole of xelias for doing some pve/gathering in "their" teritory. When they got driven out and attacked around phaeros they called for help thus having the rest of the EBA break their agreement.

So is gathering/pveing a declaration of war? If it was I am sure the majority of the map would be at war. (Which would be cool mind you)

Lol. All we said was that most players were as safe as anywhere else. And based on the alts that various people had looking for you, that was pretty much true.

Please elaborate on your idea that the south is as safe as anywhere else on the map. Is there any where else on the map where more than 10 people are getting killed every day? Is there any other place where people are saying "don't go there because of bandits?" What you are saying is dishonest and factually incorrect, I have yet to hear about a bandit problem near Canis Castrum, is the south truly as safe as the west and south west? No it is a war zone and believe it or not war zones are not safe.

This evil is on a whole different level.

I don't think were playing victim, we are just letting you know exactly what we are doing.

Well I have heard it all now I suppose, if it takes a more than a week to let everybody know that Ustalav Knights are not working as intended and to have this news trickle in from a third party counts as "letting us know exactly what you are doing" then we must have a different definition of transparency.

The crux of this argument is not how much damage 10 people can do to one Ustalav knight every 3 seconds, it is whether or not people were aware of the problems associated with the Ustalav casters, nothing more and nothing less. If this game is to survive we need everyone to be on board constantly providing feedback so that GW can fix any bugs as they arise and not keeping them quiet for a week and then down playing the whole thing because we don't want to lose out on easy silver/recipes/mats.

And as far as playing the victim goes...

It just so happens that your opinion is accusing others of exploiting. Others that have supported this game much longer than you and like you (hopefully) want this game to succeed. Excuse us for taking offense to that opinion which was obviously released here to make some kind of statement and perhaps tarnish reputations. Not a good look.

As long as you continue to try and defend the farming of Ustalavs you will be criticized it is as simple as that. Your reputation is your own and it is reflective of your actions. So are you willing to push the limits on rules despite the implications it has on peoples opinion of you as a whole?

So that was chasing you around killing me last night? It seems you caused all my deaths that night than and I tip my hat to you. But I sure hope no one had any problems clicking on me considering I was standing there with a longbow lol. As far as the pvp went I hope everyone had a good time, I know I did (Went from 21pks 50pks). Don't see any need for all this drama though you would think this game had perma death based upon some of these forum complaints.
