But but but I already rescheduled all my vacations and days off and my wedding! Put it back to the new date now 😡

Well that's wishful thinking isn't it? I wouldn't consider writing prompts on generative chatboxes thoughtful or effortful. I get the appeal of using those tools to assist on stuff but let's not kid ourselves here, ChatGPT does a lot of heavy lifting on your posts it's not simply assisting anymore. I lowkey kinda hate it. Putting your AI slop guides on par with genuine helpful guides is big slap in the face to anyone who actually took time and effort researching, experimenting, gathering data, translating and writing their guides. And by the way, in your "guides" you tell people to interact with suspected bots- You shouldn't. People should stick to reporting them if they have reason to believe someone is botting and let staff handle it. Meddling with bots you're causing more harm than not. I think your heart is in the right place, it's just that there nothing much to be said on the topic than has not already been said.

Zehkar at the bottom of the GM list, yep that checks out

Aye, an automatic repel reuse button or item you can toggle on and off and it consumes repels in your inventory without prompt to confirm if whether or not you would like to use another repel every time you run out of steps. Just gotta refuel from time to time like you already do now Toggle off and it saves your remaining steps, or if that’s too broken just scrap remaining steps and next time you toggle on consume a new repel idk

Yes please, I have too much social anxiety to ask the new names in my friendlist their previous username Does anybody know who Gosu is I’m too afraid to ask them 👉👈

😄

I'm sure this is not even the trade that got you banned and is totally irrelevant to your case, you probably accepted something shady that you shouldn't have over real money. It's been over a month since your ban I'm sure you got an answer in your appeal and got denied. Just don't break the rules

Ayo that feature exists?!

Listening to people here and on other tier discussions, you'd think TC members are unable to form an opinion of their own or have any free will whatsoever and and only rely on gb to lead them, as if he was some kind of puppet master that pulls the strings behind the scene for his own agenda. Not only is disrespectful to the TC but it's also not true. It is appalling to see the state of this thread. Tier discussions are an opportunity for the community to voice their opinions on current metas, fostering constructive dialogues in order to offer different perspectives to the TC before taking a stand. From my point of view, these discussions seems have devolved into an echo chamber where the popular majority tries to control what kind of opinion/speech is allowed. As if any differing opinion is by default wrong and should be disregarded immediately without any consideration. God forbid they share their own opinion on a thread about sharing opinions. Nothing of value is ever achieved in an environment in which people only confirm preexisting beliefs by repeating over and over again the same talking points. They be whining about caoix and gbwead posts contributing to "derailing" on tier discussions but they be posting memes with no substance or relevance. It's as low effort as it gets and serves no purpose other than attacking their character and not the content of their posts. But I guess it's fine when you do it as long as you're on the majority side? Gb is no saint, there is much to criticize about the tone he uses and remarks he makes but at least there is some effort in his posts and provides arguments, whether you agree with them or not. Same for Caiox. At this point you ought to charge them for rent because they been living rent-free in your heads for a while.

I’m not sure if I understand your point correctly. I don’t see how it would solve issues your suggestion would create nor do you seem to understand what money sinks are. Money sinks take away money from players while never redistributing it in return. And to be clear, we are talking about the ingame currency here. These are important in MMOs because it helps control currency circulating in players hands. In an environment where money can be generated infinitely, you need money sinks to counterbalance this, otherwise over a certain period of time there is going to be an infinite supply of money which will make it worth nothing while most item will increase to accomodate with the inflation it’s going to create. On PokeMMO we have a few of them which you might have noticed already. GTL tax, breeding braces cost, mail costs, pokeballs, lures to name a few. Non-reusable TMs as well. If you start tweaking and nerfing money sinks, you affect the rate at which money is taken away. If not enough money is taken away, then there is more money generated and in circulation, more money in circulation equals more consumption of goods, more consumptions while supply of goods is unchanged equals inflation yada yada I think you get the gist. Reusable TMs means that after a while nobody is going to spend anything for them because there won’t be any need for it. It would effectively render this money sink useless. HMs were already reusable and it makes sense because you need them to make progress in all regions. Ocarinas are only a way for players to move around without needing to carry several Pokemons that know HMs. You can call it of you will a quality of life feature. Using HMs doesn’t cost money. While yes Ocarinas cost RPs which are acquired initially with real currencies, they don’t take away ingame money, and those that are resold on GTL just make money circulate between players. It’s not the same as TMs.

There are so few money sinks in this game, simply eliminating one of them will tip the scale of balance of the economy and overtime create more issues. I understand it's unpleasant but it's a bitter pill to swallow for the game's sake.

I've played PokeMMO using Opera's mini-player feature on top of the game before without any issue and it's also chromium based. Client tampering refers mostly to autoclickers/automation programs and virtual machines or programs to run multiple instance on the same device. Some benign software used trigger the anticheat before but I think they mostly don't anymore. Beside, I highly doubt that Chrome, the most popular browser in the world would trigger the anticheat. I think there's something more to it.

Yeah well I'm gonna boycott US-bought RP items in GTL and only consume Canadian goods from now on

Damn the tariffs already do be hurting us Canadians even on PokeMMO 😭

Let me preface this by saying that I have no dog in this and that I don't care if you are from one team or another. First off, you are all assuming that this video of the match between qqqianx and GopherPro is the main evidence used in the ban as if it was factual and the result of malicious reports when as a matter of fact, nobody here knows what exactly led to the ban. For all we know they might have been investigating these players for a while now regardless of what feud may be happening between these teams. Maybe they weren't even aware of it until now. Nobody here is in a position of knowing what exactly transpired except for the people involved which may as well be telling another story for god knows what reasons, and the staff team who have yet to reply. You can analyze the video all you want, you most likely don't have everything in front of your eyes to come up with the same conclusion as the staff did. You can come up with your own conclusion and it is totally fine, but stop pretending you know better than staff of the little that we got. There is likely more to this that just a replay of a match (or I would hope so), stop acting like staff are clueless or colluding with X team. Nobody knows yet it doesn't prevent people jumping on the bandwagon yet again (this feels familiar, uh?). Free this, free that, bad staff grr bad staff. Allow me this opportunity to remind you that a bunch of people demanded the unconditional unban of ArtOfKilling as soon as it happened and without knowing if they were innocent or not (spoilers: he was not). One's good reputation has never prevented them from breaking the rules and you should know that by now. Give them the benefit of the doubt but stop demanding to unban X players even though it's not even clear if they're innocent. I sincerly hope staff doesn't cave in to popular demand again. If the guy is guilty keep him banned, if it was a mistake unban him. Malicious reports should also be punished if that's not already the case

I think the main issue at hand is how hard it is to tell apart which case is a genuine case of a player engaging into deceiving practices and which is a player having sellers' regrets and also at what point a low offer/estimate constitutes lowballing in an ever changing economy from the point of view of the moderation team. Because it's too much of a gray area, it leaves too much ambiguity and subjectivity to make clear-cut decisions, and in this situation I personally believes and it pains me to admit it that the status quo is just the better option.

I think we should ban arena trap on Caiox and ban Diglett from posting on forums aw crap did I mix it up

I think there definitely needs to be some restrictions surrounding these raids to make it less enticing to spam on multiplie accounts but I don't think OT restrictions is the fairest and most accurate representation of what endgame is. People pay other players to breed for them all the time, OT does not mean much for non-casual, having many boxes of comps does. I mean sure you can probably pull if off with non-perfect pokemon but raids are very challenging, you kinda want to go with the most optimal option instead of brute forcing your way in and praying for good rng with subpar Pokemon. Also these raids require some specific Pokemons sometimes with specific natures that you wouldn't really use elsewhere otherwise. Having to breed them and level em up on short notice at this time of the year nonetheless doesn't feel right I'm spitballing here but what if instead of OT requirement, Pokemons that have been used in a successful raid cannot be used by another character until next cooldown or something. This way you make it impossible for people to trade the same team between alts and/or teammates and make it so everyone has to spend money to breed or buy the necessary comps elsewhere, money they had to spend time to farm prior.

To me I think the worst part of it all is not that it's simply the fear of missing out, which in itself is meh, but it never being clear whether or not it's a one-time occurrence or if it's going to comeback next year and whether or not I should focus on this particular thing vs other stuff that are also available. Most of the time I find out a little too late that it was disclosed on private discords I don't even have access to via screenshots. FOMO on something that is going to be seasonal is fine I suppose no matter how difficult or restrictive it is because it's going to return no matter what and you can prepare for it. On the other hand FOMO on something that is definitely never going to return, is very hard and additionally has harsher restrictions is something I may have issues with personally. I get that they are testing stuff but I'm sure there is a middle ground somewhere.

No we are finally getting endgame coop related content PokeMMO lacked. The main feature of raids is player cooperation. Allowing the possibility to make solo runs just defeats that simple purpose. Why bother to link up if you can cheese the raid on your own? It's bad game design. In early WOW extensions you just don't show up to beat the crap out of the Lich King on your own for instance.

No, keep adding link features it's an MMO goddamnit

it's 23:45 at the time of writing this in the east coast, letting you know that once an appeal has been denied the decision is final

I don't think anyone is being particularly toxic or is glazing the devs. I just think that old players have been here long enough to understand better the thinking process of the devs and how they want to balance the game. If you've been here long enough you've probably seen your share of complaints on forums, heck we all probably did complaint at some point in time, whether we were right or not. The point is, and I think what Suigins here is trying to say is after all these years the game is still doing fine player-wise, at least it certainly has gotten bigger since I started playing almost 9 years ago and most likely the same for that old fart. Sometimes, the devs listened to our complaints sometimes they didn't, sometimes we were right sometimes we weren't. Ultimately, they have the final word, and so far there has never been a massive exodius as a result of their decisions. Now I'm not a huge fan of the Darkrai orb myself but I also understand where it's coming from. Releasing legendaries with uber-like qualities pose threats to the balance of the game. I don't believe the slow release of HA or few gen 9 mechanic update has disrupted the balance of the game permanently. Obviously some decisions are questionable (Sharpness Gallade) and we can debate whether or not the priority in which HA were release was done poorly but arguably the slow release of new stuff allowed for the game to adapt without just breaking altogether. The devs were most likely never gonna give you Darkrai at all before they came up with the temporary orb feature. They came up with a feature that would allow to have access to it without breaking their game too much
