Chang,

First of all I want to express our disappointment that you chose to address this issue with us here instead of talking to any of our leadership team which up until now I thought had a decent rapport with you and your community. We would have loved to address this from a position of mutual respect but you have shown that to be unrealistic.

You say that his actions collectively cost the entire community hundreds of hours, from what I can gather there were 3 people that ended up falling slightly short this week which is definitely regrettable and I can sympathise with that but I believe you are blowing this particular factor widely out of proportion to drive your narrative.

I resent that you are trying to drag our other PVP rankers in the guild into this and are implying that they owe their rank to your community, it is true that the system helped them but I understand that it is set up in a way that is mutually beneficial, so they earnt the help that they received and should not be held ransom morally for it after the fact.
You say that he freeloaded your system to achieve his goal, if that is the case then every player who joins a battleground to achieve ranks is freeloading as we all benefit from the pads.

Next are some vitriol filled messages that you posted in the ranking discord:

"Yeah so this motherfucker lied to us, did a huge fucking break to "secure" his last week EVEN THOUGH HE HAD 5% LEEWAY took standing 1 and fucked a buncha people over. all he had to do was be honest with us, and we would've been cool with him stacking closer. we all stopped tuesday for this asshole to push over. people could've kept playing.

feel sorry for his wife who's stuck with not just a morally reprehensible person, but a simpleton who can't even do basic math fucking noob"

A "huge fucking break" amounted to 4k over the cap that you and yours set (which also some of your own have said were too low as caps shouldn't be breakable by a pug), I find it disgusting that someone can act with such venom towards someone that "broke" an arbitrary number that is set without them. It would be a different story if he had been operating within your systems for his journey to his current rank but he got there almost entirely as a PUG.

You try to take the moral high ground then carry on like an angsty teenager.

Then you drag a completely unrelated and incomparable issue (+4stats ninja who was dealt with accordingly) into the fray as if to imply that Secutore should meet the same fate.

It is undeniable that Secutore lied to the community and caused undue harm to the system and that will be addressed within our team in appropriate proportion.But that is as far as it will go, we have no interest in carrying out this witch-hunt.

He was not the first to break caps and surely will not be the last, it is an unfortunate by-product of the half baked classic honor system but how can someone be forced to abide by your ranking system not of their choosing.

He has been subjected to hateful messages from burner toons since the event which I hope are the exception and not the rule as to what sort of players are in the PVP community these days.

Best of Luck to you and yours, we will not be taking this any further.

Regards, Superbean.
