Hello, I am a returning player to Exile mod and I am looking for a new server to play on. I figured I would ask for help from the community to find what I am looking for faster. Below are a list of criteria I am interested in. Please, when providing a server/community name, specify some details specifically about which criteria the specific server does not meet. I am aware that there is no such thing as the "perfect server" as it all comes down to personal taste but providing a more detailed list I can build a more effective survey for myself. Please also specify the map(s), slot numbers and if there are multiple servers on the same shard. 1. No tanks, jets, artillery , Lamborghinis, zombies, no RP or extended rules regarding raiding and such. Socially enforced rules are not my thing as they are hard to police and I do not want to be the one following the rules and have to deal with people not following them. 2. A tweaked economy. Making money should not be easy, looting should only help when starting up or gathering stuff for a base. 3. Polished/Custom missions, hopefully as a way to concentrate PvP, make money or get rare equipment and vehicles, encourage grouping. 4. Ideally no safe zones but this is not a must. 5. A long shot to ask but I always dreamed of playing Exile on a populated first person only server 6. Stores should sell low to mid tier stuff, high end gear should be harder to obtain. Alternatively: NO stores. I would love that. 7. Money lockers should be limited 8. Additional, less futuristic weapons, both in stores and drop tables, bonus points here if shotguns and bolt action rifles are available, even more bonus points if the standard Arma 3 stuff is NOT available at all 9. A reduced list of extra mods, no redundant stuff. I want to thank everyone replying in advance.

I have already stated why but I have no problems repeating myself. What your staff has done was unfair. It is on the internet, it is about a game server, but ultimately its about people interacting with people so it does matter. Moreover, as far as I am aware, we are all adults. There is no excuse for throwing away any and all rules of society, just because of this specific medium of conveying information (the internet). I am 29 years old and I have been gaming for the better part of my life. Never until now has it happened that I would be banned from a game server. I hope you can see why I find it revolting. I always play by the rules and try to never offend anyone. You dont see me insulting other players in side chat, saying things about their mother or their sexual orientation. I do like the teasing that directly derives from gameplay, but thats just good rivalry in my oppinion. I can accept that your group decides they dont want to play with me, I can also accept they dont like me, everyone makes their own reasons. But going ahead and fabricating a lie, and then clinging to it to infinity just to justify your actual and considerably less honourable motives is simply unacceptable for me. Attempting to convince ME of this is even more preposterous. The outcome of this, is, however, clear to me. Should potentially new legion players come across all of this they can correlate this to their own experience. If things stay the same with you guys, then these players were given a heads up at the very least. If, however, in light of all these events you all decide to treat your player base better, to change your ways such that, when said players compare their interactions with you to those I describe here, they will find that the admin team is not at all bad, then what happened to me is unlikely to happen again, a result with wich I am also happy. I hope you can see how, at a macro level, my actions are an attempt at producing a certain social outcome, one that I personally consider positive and beneficial for everyone, maybe not so much for myself, but still better overall. You may call me a keyboard warrior, but, if it takes 5 minutes of my day to present to a somewhat large audience information I consider valuable, I see no reason to not do it. And if it also results in a few people ultimately shying away from hotheaded decisions and subjectivism, then that is a clear win situation in my book. As a side note, because proof has been mentioned many times around, anyone interested in some tangible evidence about this matter can simply request it from us. Cherno kept recordings and screenshots of everything. We were gonna make that information public on reddit initially, but decided, while maybe justified, that would have been a preety big blow to the community we once were part of (note that being part of a community does not simply mean clicking a register button), so as a sign of good will, we will only provide it on demand. EDIT: One other thing. You guys said I am a troll. Let us assume for a second that is true. If so, then why do you keep feeding me? Something to think about I guess...

SEVEN ADMINS. I was underlining the fact that the server had more admins than regular players for a long time. If you are going to reply please read every word of my post, as I do yours. We did not put Starbright up for anything, he chose to do so because he felt that what happened to us wasnt fair. We told him that if he even touches side chat he is very likely to get banned, as that seems to be the norm on legion. Everything you said about those items shows you have, in fact, never used them and never tested anything. I have tested that vest in virtual arsenal and it could never survive a lynx shot, tho I did manage to survive 1 shot, once, on the server, and it was most likely an issue of slight desync. One occurance is not consistent data. As for the shotgun, a 1 shot kill weapon when using slugs at up to 200m with nothing but iron sights, something like 200m/s travel time, drop off similar to lobbing grenades, and a 8 shot magazine, if that is OP because it stacks so well against a navid or an spmg or a lynx then you are just naive. The truth is none of the latter weapons are easy to use up close, the shotgun is. As for the last part, let me reiterate, this is not about being banned or trying to be unbanned. I am not some 14 year old, for me your lack of moral values is a no go, even if you would unban me, publicly apologise and admit all the mistakes that you made (tho if you did that you would be the first 100% decent person on the internet, lets be honest it wont happen) I would still not want to have anything to do with the legion crowd. What this is really about is that you get to be the bully of your little corner of the internet because you gave yourself admin powers, and this ongoing thread upsets you because its out of your reach. It servers my purpouse because, in your reach attempts, you show your true face, as some other forum user has noticed a few posts back. You keep trying to discredit me and call my posts childish, but you cant even put enough effort in the few sentences that make up your replies to correct the everpresent grammar and spelling mistakes. Instead of counter-arguements and proof, you only bring attacks to my image to the table, and, where convenient, you misinterpret what I write so you can call me out on the topic from the angle of your choice. The bottom line, is, bob, if you, as an admin, cannot deliver information in a neutral, believable and concise way, because you cant or because you wont or maybe even both, then dont be surprised when players question your actions, dont get upset, and dont start banning them. That should cover why you banned Starbright and Spunk. As for banning myself and Cherno, well I have no arguements that can counter envy and spite, at least none that you would understand.

Lets remember you advocated transparency (gratuitously). I know exactly why Starbright a.k.a John was banned and what he said in chat because he was in TS with me when he did it. He mentioned my name in sidechat and he was told to shut up, then he asked why the legion server entry on exilemod server listing was removed so he was banned right away. Way to deflect on that one tho. I dont like internet bullies, and I dont take kindly to threats either. I will present all the information I have on your community for whoever cares to read it. If it is portraying your server and community in a bad light that does not mean I am a dick, it means there is something fishy going on over there. You still havent mentioned which server rule I broke, and you never will because it never happened. In fact, since you stated you dont even play, and we have also never interacted on TS, how do you even know what I am like? Perhaps your oppinions came in the mail? This all, by the way, helps all your players, old and new, who never got any information about what happened other than "internal problems" shed some light on the situation and form their own oppinion. And I am NOT good at the game, just a bit better than some. You are completely right with this, you determine who plays on your server. You made rules to ensure a fair environement, and then you used your admin privileges to get rid of the people you or any of the other 7 (yes seven!) admins didnt like. Solid admin job. You have no actual proof to support what you are saying otherwise you would have posted it long ago, like you tried with those logs on the server reviews page, the so called "proof" that showed nothing more than Cherno trying to get admin help and explanations (outrageous, i know!). There was a single ban appeal, if you can call it that, related not to this last ban, but to Cherno's "metagaming" ban, another admin mistake as legion is not an rp server, you made a "metagaming" rule right after banning him, the people who accused him of it did it out of spite, and the admins performed no investigation (not to mention he got a seven day ban compared to the guy that broke the no kamikaze rule and then told the admin to F himself who got a 1 day ban) As a side note, on my first interaction with you personally, I asked a question about the server mods and you proceeded to yell at me, say that the gear items i was asking about were "glitched" (you also called the shotgun OP because i had racked a few kills with it), somehow blame me for that, and preety much made me leave the admin help channel in a less than friendly way. That was the very first time you and I have met and interacted. But I kept playing for another 2 to 3 weeks despite the server dying and me being one of the 5 players that would still log in daily. I figured it must have been just a bad moment. I guess I was wrong. But what do I know anyway, I am the child here, right? As far as playing arma3/exile goes I have moved on, no need to worry about that. But my sense of justice (and disgust for your less than mature behaviour despite your age) is enough to keep me posting, and even having to derail this thread, because, due to censorship, this is the only place left where I can do so.

Your pop has grown because you sponsored on A3L, you banned us for "being dicks" but you fail to explain that by that you mean we are the group that has been killing everyone. Repeatedly. Including the admin team. On a hardcore pvp server, go figure. You banned this other kid the other day for merely mentioning my name on sidechat. He used to run missions with us didnt really join in on our pvp action, yet you did it anyway. I reccomend you look up "trolling" on google, urban dictionary or what have you, because using ingame tactics and available gear such as UAVs to hunt players down and kill them, and then keep killing them when they sheepishly respawn at the nearest spawn point and bambi swarm for their corpses is NOT trolling. It is tactics. Oh yeah, you should look up "tactics" as well. EDIT: If Still was indeed in the DayZ Mod dev team, then its up to him to prove it, not to the rest of us to disprove it. We've known Still for longer than you. Keep that in mind. EDIT2: For a "hardcore pvp server" yeah your pop went up since you banned us (and sponsored on A3L) but look at the kills board? Me and Cherno were up there with over 60 kills, which we made in a couple of weeks (1 week for me actually, coz Dark Souls 3 came out after) on a half dead server. Now you have so many players doing what? Hugging their teddy in their base, or better still, at the new safezone?
