Shit posters really do be out here wasting real potential.

One of the hardest things we've had to determine as Founders is where permanent weapons should sit price and balance wise on the server. This topic has come up so many times i've lost count. The current way weapons are set on the server is to allow base classes to thrive without being demolished by store weapons. With this in mind we lowered prices of the weapons from the previous prices by a large amount and their stats by even further. By making the weapons sit in tiers it allowed more freedom in player choice to pick weapons they were more comfortable with instead of just becoming a min max monkey and buying what's at the top. We still needed to add weapons that were at the top to incentivize players with large amounts of credits to spend them as this is our primary money sink(Hence the special tier weapons). These weapons are strong, but not to the point that some weapons sat before the previous balance changes(Looking at you Westar and E11-D). Current prices are for a more standard model of allowing players to prioritize one to two main weapons from the store instead of running around with an arsenal of twenty. Regarding credit wipes, unfortunately credits had to be wiped in the past because of various money exploits that were found and ran rampant in the community. This wasn't a group of friends finding exploits and keeping it to themselves. This was full on battalions doing this behind the scenes and selling credits to players which directly damages Synergy's source of income as well as devaluing players credits. With the most previous credit wipe with the weapon re-balancing we did everything in our power to alert all community members. We started with an announcement of the wipe two months in advance at a community meeting, where we stated that the weapon vendor would be set to 100% refund. One month from the date we started putting out discord announcements that went to every synergy related discord. We posted in the steam group, forums, and made constant global messages in Teamspeak. Hopefully we never need to do one again, but it'd be too easy to say never. We'll always do everything we can to make as many people aware as possible. Hopefully this helps a bit when determining the direction of this suggestion. As of this moment the Founder team is 100% against having a pay increase but not against giving players other interactive avenues of obtaining money. We've had some special projects long in the works that would increase interaction and credit growth in a stable fashion, but this isn't on our priority list as of this time.

That's a discussion best saved for an entirely different suggestion, I'd rather not derail your suggestion here.

Unfortunately I can't support this suggestion as I don't think you fully understand how the current class balancing works or why it was implemented. I'd recommend taking some notes based on other job classes and seeing why they are the way they are before making adjustments. It's perfectly fine to think outside the box and try to change things, just always keep in mind as to why things were made that way in the first place. Edit: If the concern is the Z-6 and it's performance. Why not make a suggestion regarding the Z-6 itself.

Can I say it's allowed? No. Just be smart and make sure you understand your surroundings, I can't really expect every channel to be monitored 100%. Think about it like this, If you were to ask me if racism is okay even in private I'd say absolutely not.

I'll try my best to answer the concerns and questions of everyone reading this, as I was not personally present when establishing the punishments or their severity. Although, I do agree with most of the punishment guidelines and hopefully I can explain why. Lets start off with the elephant in the room. Do I agree that someone should be punished harshly for a joke, absolutely not. Do I agree that punishment should follow someone for potentially releasing private information without consent or prior knowledge, yes wholeheartedly. When we have so many people in our community it will always be impossible to fully understand every persons circumstances or walks of life. Releasing personal information like an IP can be seen as a joke to most of us which is great in my opinion. But for the few, this can be considered a real threat for their safety or the safety of their loved ones. This is on par with releasing someone's street address to the knowledge of many, which is a blatant lack of respect and completely unacceptable in this community. Moving on. Can we as a team expect people to understand what a real IP is, unfortunately not. I'd love to believe we live in a world where everyone has the wisdom to know simple information as to what is real and what isn't, but unfortunately we don't. There are many things that can be considered to avoid conflict or punishment. Joking with your friends in DM's is a great way to keep things private and prevent it leaking in to something that could cause others concern. Racism, Peadophilia, death threats, Doxx'ing, harassment and advertisement. These are a list of things that are 100% unacceptable within our community and on any platform Synergy performs on. Joking about an IP isn't something I should consider adding to the list above, but it can fall under Doxx'ing, harassment, and advertisement in (most) situations. Therefore I believe a warning first is completely fair when addressing each case. The warning in this instance I feel is heavy handed as it starts with a one week ban. I'd personally prefer a verbal warning first, a ban second, and removal from the community third. After hearing general concerns from the community and my own personal opinions I believe a slight adjust to the ruling is in order. As most of you are aware, this will require further discussion with Leadership as a whole.
