The leadership at warmane remained silent and let everyone guess what was going to be accepted or not - a rule that is not enforced has no power.
Blaming the players for an implementation made by the leadership is awful. Absolutely cannot respect people who do that. If you guys implemented a system that STRONGLY incentivizes your community to break rules that went unenforced for weeks, that IS on YOU and not the players. The players have no power over what the developers create as incentives. It's like saying ununionized workers have power against massive corporations. We aren't capable of making the rules. You do - even if it's implied but the systems you implement. That includes perverse incentives like what you're seeing now. Think of this situation like so: you created a system that STRONGLY incentivizes ONE kind of play, while leaving up rules from years ago that say WELL no actually you're not allowed to do that. This breeds confusion. When a system strongly incentivizes play that is against the rules, you SERIOUSLY need to reconsider the system.
