If this source is correct, NCsoft paid people to gank lowbies in TERA's CBT. That seems pretty stupid IF it's true, since only the PvP crowd rolls in PvP servers.

I am not saying that this is reliable, so take it with a grain of salt if you want.

    It seems pretty dumb to me too, but why post it then?  I do not completely trust this source, but who knows? Are the admins of that site trolling?

    Sounds pretty awesome...in some way.

    I wouldn't be surprised corporations would do such thing, cause yes they're still corporations.

    It could be true, and it could be false. I think we should estimate this somewhere around 99.998% false and 0.002% true.

    This balance could change a lot if someone can give anything to show this website's credibility.

  • morbitangelmorbitangel Member UncommonPosts: 70

    yes i do believe coorperations would do this kinda thing.

    would they use some random ppl like on that doom forum though? i very very much doubt that i mean why would you pay these random ppl if you could just let some of your own ppl do it lol.

  • kevjardskevjards Member UncommonPosts: 1,452

    sounds like something EA would do but ncsoft..no chance.

    How random do you think these guys are and how do you know that?

    To me they're complete nobodies, but that doesn't mean they truly are.

  • Sector13Sector13 Member UncommonPosts: 784

    Why would they pay some random guild when they can get their unpaid interns to do it for free? or even get the low paid CS people to do it? It's illogical from a financial standpoint.

    LOL'ED HARD

    Silliest thing i've read today.

     

     

    This is a combo with the other conspiracy about NCSoft paying Gamebreker.tv to bash Tera.

    Where did they mention anything about getting paid, earlier? I thought the term they used was "sponsored" which could be in more ways than only monetary. No?

    Absolutely shocking if this is true , and the Doom guild need to be pk'd on sight in TERA , there is no excuse for this type of behaviour.

    They took it down :(

    Someone should have copypasta'd it.

    FFA PVP is one of TERAs major features, why would NCSoft pay someone to promote that in a competitors game?

    "On behalf of DooM I would like to thank our sponsor NCSoft.



    As many of you already know, thanks to the support of NCSoft, both supplying us with tera beta keys and money towards our website. I think we did you guys proud, I'm sure many people wont buy Tera now, due to the amount of low level ganking we achieved on behalf of you.



    For the people that don't know the full story to keep things simple. NCSoft paid us to annoy and put off as many people from playing Tera as possible. This was due to both guild wars 2 coming out around the same time as Tera and the law suit they currently have against blue hole.



    once again thank you NCSoft, you know where we are when you require our services again."

    Whether its true or not, we may never know...but to think a guild stupid enough, would post and blatantly advertise what they were "paid" to do. Is just plain silly...

    This can be looked at in so many ways...

    Well I've been looking around now since this was posted as I'm interested if it is true and I just come accross this which is a bit suspect.

    Who cares?, I would of loved to seen some PvP action from this if I was playing at the time this may of taken place. I'd have a blast.

    Even if true, people who role on a PVP server should expect to get ganked by asshats even if they aren't paid, all part of the service as they say.

    And I suspect few were really turned off by it, too easy to roll on another server or even go over to a PVE one if it bothered them that much.

    I wonder if they really have got those beta keys, the pictures look kind of real.

  • UnlightUnlight Member Posts: 2,540

    This is a good way to make NCSoft look like the devil, especially with all the publicity surrounding the Korean court proceedings coming out.  In fact, it looks manufactured to do exactly that.  If NCSoft is actually not behind it, I think a libel suit is in order.

    since when does anyone outside of korea give 2 shits about whats going on inside of korea (obviously south not north)

  • KehdarKehdar Member UncommonPosts: 441

    Bah it sounds like bulls.

    I don't see NCSoft paying someone to gank players in another game, especially not some charlatans who then write it on a public board.
