It often feels like this game is being administrated and controlled by people who don't even understand, experience, or enjoy it

everyone enjoys the game differently, nobody gets to decide what form of playing is 'experienced' or not

also @ everyone saying it's about having 'inexperienced' admins - it really isn't, maybe in other situations it is but in this particular one the issue was there not being any admins online, not because they were inexperienced or whatever

This is true, but I have no doubt that there are those who still can't discern between normal and very slight speed, as well as those who attribute speed to lag or a good computer. Just my 2 cents.

You always try to find a way to argue, it's cute but annoying.

I'm not trying to argue though? I would hope everyone would be able to respond to the post in a way that Fulgore did, whether they agree with me or not.

Only person that looks like they're trying to argue here is you. But since I don't want to flood this thread with flame, I won't make anything of it.

This thread... pretty much what's wrong with the game... outside of content.

1.) Make a waiting period for 'new players' (or accounts) to be 'activated' of 24 hours.
2.) Make a time limit on spar (100+ hours for actual battle arena/gs and rated stuff).
3.) Give more experienced/respected players some basic powers that would enable them to judge/stand out in some way when reporting and potentially warp/warn other players when their lag is off the scale or their hacks are showing.
4.) Hire some staff.
5.) Watch the complaints roll in through feedback.

If everyone watching reported this person, I find it hard to believe the staff won't check out the situation.. Unless there were no staff online. I personally report every instance of cheating in spar I personally witness, and I strongly encourage others to do the same. It is our best course of action against this aside from complaining about it without decisive action.

If the lack of online staff is an issue, perhaps the administration team should look into accepting another application. But it isn't my job, and I won't say I know what's going on behind the scenes.

Everyone in the room reported him multiple times, he was on for hours in the streak line.

Increase the hours required to spar from 24 to ... or make some speed limitation, if exceeded it will warp you from the spar (idk if this can be done.)
Also theres a time period when no admins are online for up to 8 hours, this probably isn't helping

This would probably be a pretty good option, just similar to the old auto detection system but give it a larger cushion above the actual max speed(to reduce false alarms), and it just warps the person over 1.5x(just random number) speed out of the arena or something. The only thing I can think of that this would cause problems with is people that have that lag where they freeze for a couple seconds, and then speed up really fast and run around the arena slashing might get warped out.

the fact that people think the suggestion is ~so crazy~ when there are players who are actually willing to do this who aren't being hired is the problem
GP don't actively monitor the arena or towers and it's not even "LMFAO" to suggest that they probably should

if you're willing to waste your life away staring at a pixel room waiting for someone to "speed hack", maybe you're the problem.

Admins should be mature and have experience with game mechanics.
Not experience with social guilds and roleplay, that means very little.

if you say a bad word banned for 2k but if you hack you're fine

I just said it would be productive to have a GP or two dedicated to the general spar area- because that is where most of these people are abusing speed toggle anyways.

I find most speed hackers tend to hang at Master Li's dojo. The Battle Arena is second while Balamb Arena and towers tied at third.

Now if GPs were to monitor an area permanently, it wouldn't recommend Master Li's or the Battle Arena, but rather the exterior of Burger Refuge. Speed hacking is an issue. However, it is a harmless crime when compared to the amount of sexual predators soliciting underage photos.These deviants number tenfold the amount of speed hackers. While hackers are more or less spread out, they all seem to be outside Burger Refuge.

the issue wasn't that "admains dun care xD", it's just that no one is on during those hours.

Name every single GP you can think of right now
Then ask yourself why the majority of them have no experience in actually playing the game itself

Currently:
- Jarace
- Dread
- Milo
- Feorth
- Vafara
- CatInaBox
- TeeDee
- MarshMallow
- Snow Noob

There might be more but those are the ones I can think of currently
