Did I do the right thing?
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2017 1:06 pmAlrighty guys, listen up
I'm in a mining game, standard ranked with 8 players. A few noobs (but bought l2?)
I'm playing, and having a conversation with a newbie (blue) thats attacking me. The conversation goes on to another newbie (brown), who is allied with blue. I say something about brown, and blue refers to him as "me". Now, this is not much to base an accusation of, but, consider this:
they joined the game one day apart (Dec. 31 and Jan. 1), both bought l2 with zero game experience, and only one held conversation with me. When I asked about it to blue, he said that he was talking about something else when he said "me", even though we were directly referring to brown. There was a bit of an argument, an accusation of stupidity, and I informed the other players of the potential multi boxers. I told them straight up that this isn't guaranteed, and it's just a suspicion. Anyways, they took it to the next level, breaking all alignments with them. I then get a message from brown (like 10 minutes later) about the situation. It got into the pub chat with blue threatening to resign, then instead brown resigned and blue stayed in. I told them all that I was just expressing a concern, with my evidence, and blue and brown were all butthurt (which I understand, especially since they are noobs). I told them that I have played with multi boxers before, and the entire lobby got ruined by them. They said "well, you ruined the game for us", but I explained that its better to ruin a game for two people than have it ruined for the other 6. I apologized, explained myself calmly and accurately, but also explained that I needed to do it in order to maintain the game's integrity.
What do you guys think about what I did? Multi boxers have ruined my games before, and I was not about to let it happen again.
tl;dr: Two noobs in my game looked like they were multi boxing, they cried "it isn't true!" and one resigned because of it, leaving the other *potential* multi boxer in game and hating me. Did I do it right?
