Jail in WoW?

It’s when people get a temporary ban. They go there :rofl:

A jail like that would be filled so quickly in WoW :grin:

In you go scum, now reflect on your actions and learn to behave!

Though… I’d expect most would just be repeat offenders anyway.

It would be like visiting the forums when on a ban :stuck_out_tongue:

Heh, the stupidest idea ever. Why would anyone pay money for this?

I like the idea but the “works really well” and Activision… not gonna happen!

That could be cool if implemented right, or bad if implemented wrong :smiley:
For example, I am all for something like this in SW/ORG where the wrongdoers spends their time:

why need a jail when you can lock them up in goldshire

Well, no. Hopefully they’d go straight to the executioners block instead.

Send them to the Maw instead, with no means to escape, and the highest eye of the jailor level.

Nah. If it’s literally you have to spend time afk in game on the char to live out the sentence, then yikes. Bad behaviour is bad, but forcing people to be able to do nothing for a product they pay for is stupid. At least with a ban the idea is you’re out of the game, so you go do other things. With this you’d be encouraged to be in game, but not at the same time. Dumb as all heck.

If you want to impede people in game with punishments, make them deal out a “penance” or something. For example for the next 24 hours of played on your character, all material rewards are massively slashed down, but completing anything that awards a reward reduces the penance timer depending upon the nature of the activity.

Example: let’s say penance imposes a 80% reduction on all honour and conquest earned. You can literally afk in game for 24 hours. But each time you complete an activity that would reward honour or conquest, the timer ticks down a bit more.

Id get behind that more, but still, eehhhh

You underdps in M+? Believe it or not, jail.

In ArcheAge if you grief, PK, steal, etc. you leave “crime spots” on the ground. These can be reported and you can get caught.

When you get caught, you get summoned to trial, along with I think it was 5 or 10 jurors. The jurors are players. Your trial is broadcast to your entire faction on the entire server. You get to plead your case, and the jurors get to determine your sentence. They can let you go, if they decide your crime was justified.

The community is controlled by the players. But because the entire trial is broadcast to the server in a specific chat channel, and everyone can see what everyone is saying, including the jurors, and nobody is anonymous, there’s very little griefing. Everyone’s reputation is at stake. The populace makes their voice heard in the /nation chat and they can also affect juror’s judgment.

When you go to prison, there are activities you can do - kill rats, clean up, act right - to reduce your sentence. And of course… you can break out, too.

It’s SUCH A GOOD SYSTEM that feeds so well into ArcheAge’s general theme of you doing whatever you want and then facing the consequences, be they negative or positive.

Dude, thats great :’ )

This would put the ragers from PuGs in check and RMT booster/bots from doing anything.

Just ban people for X amount of hours, what is the point of being put in a “jail” ?
Also who decides what is “bad” to say ?
Sounds like Twitch trust council all over again.

Implement this for Pallies, at least 2 minutes of jail time per Bubble/BoP/Sacri after a BG/Arena. Don’t forget to make these jails as public instances so they can be made fun of while rotting in there.

“So, what are you in for, punk?”

I farmed herbs with 20 druids using a multiboxing program to overload the market and take all the gold for myself.

“You…you sick freak!”

I remember The Jailer’s Libram that paladins could get in Ashran, that’d actually sent enemy players to jail. One of those things that sometimes makes me stop up and wish I was playing a different class.

But they didn’t scream “STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM” while using it, 0/5 :frowning:
