Due to how the purge was carried out, the process in how all of those accounts were auto-banned instantly. One of the main GM duties is to bot hunt, it was simplistic to us and overall probably Singham alone acquired more the overall bot bans than what came of the purge. Between the latest GM team that left; Lunestra, Yasham, Hideliet, between us we probably rid the servers of more bots than the purge also. There isnt really a critical need for another purge provided you have a good GM team, although that is something that no longer exists through no fault of us that departed.

ayyyyyyy ;)

money sinks were in the process of being discussed, the Focus Sash NPC was an example of that. However it isnt easy to create a money sink for botters, only for the purpose of botting - to accumulate mass money to ship over to a main acc. Its easy to spot however on a one by one basis, hence why myself and my other former GM colleagues so easily caught and banned (likely thousands between us) so many bots. Another mass ban like what happened a few months ago likely wont occur again. As stated in my other reply, the price of MS will eventually level out, but i doubt it will drop to the price it was (around 300k) and i also doubt it will drop significantly any time soon. Theres no purpose for it at the moment other than botters to claim double the money on their botting accounts and "get rich in 3 easy steps".

Botters banned = demand for MS dropped = no people could sell because no one wanted to buy (or very very few) = supply dropped = opportunity for price rise = opportunity taken ...and here we are, although now the price is so high, more people will be inclined to "cash in" and buy MS to try selling for this mega-high price, meaning it should eventually fall again, but i doubt that will be the case for a while.

simple, because there was so many bots which bought MS from their farmed income, so that they get the MS priviledges and rake in money twice as fast, with such a vast market there was no room for a price rise due to there always being another seller for cheaper. With the (more than) 3k bots banned, there was minimum 3k players less in one hit that sought to buy MS, resulting in less frequent sales, resulting in less people selling MS, resulting in the greedy players having increasing the price due to non-sales, resulting in everyone else doing the same until they notice the trend of MS rising like crazy, then complain to staff about why we do not regulate the price of MS even though its a player built economy.

former staff

You dont

I wonder why you're happy about the Flygon buff ¬.¬

Regenerator is a viable ability, it isnt rulebreaking to use more than one regenerator Pokemon. although inconvenient for the opponent, its a viable tactic provided the same Pokemon does not feature more than once in the team (for example two regen Amoongus would be rulebreaking, but a regen Slowbro and a regen Tangrowth in the same team is not against any rules.)

Its okay you can send me all the soppy emotional WOTs over discord, i wont tell Pixiu i got one ;)

I am a man of few words, I will miss you man and... THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING LUNEBAE! :Heart: I SAID MAKE IT PRETTY!!!!! Srs though best of luck with your future as PRO Staff dude, was a pleasure for what (short) time i could boss you about ;) Our very own Nurse Joy. We'll be staying in touch over Discord, tc <3

Apologies Fatman, privacy reasons prevent the exact events leading to the departure for us that left becoming public knowledge, its always been the case that staff matters remain staff matters. Although your concern is warranted, please try to understand that we cannot disclose any further information that what is already out there. Have fun with your future in PRO and i hope the staff that remains can work to keep this game as enjoyable for you as you may have found it previously. Also, i wish someone who's still staff would just lock these topics because it just turns into toxicity constantly, like the several similar posts prior....

ahh okay :P

Its a little thing called sarcasm. And no player is "happy" or "impressed" that so many staff left in one go but i can assure you there is a very solid and valid reason for it :) & Jahus it is a real shame for what happened, but what happened had to and did occur, PRO will rebuild without us im sure of that, it may just take a little time to adjust to the changes. Again as stated in my farewell post, im sorry this burden landed on you players, you guys have been nothing but great to us (the non toxic and/or botting players) and we had a duty to serve you guys in an appropriate manner, i'd like to think as a team up until this last week we had done that. I wish you guys all the best in the future and im sure new staff will come in and serve the game to the same level as some of the staff that departed.

my departure was just that tragic :( kek

We'll continue our United vs City rivalry on discord, i'll still be active there so stay in touch! Will come and beat you on Fifa too from time to time.

It's not a staff revamp, we choose on our own will to leave because something happened :) Although the speculation is fun to read :) PS - bb Qhinn, cya, babye. I'll continue to spam you with your catchphrase on discord every time i see you :3

You couldnt keep it short and sweet like me, Yasham, Hideliet and Qhinn could you hahaha! Of course your leaving post had to be a WOT. Well look after yourself Pixie-u, pleasure working with you. Watching you come up from a baby app to overtaking me in like a fortnight on forum posts :confused: you will be missed.

I might sing for you back (seen as i love singing too), PRO's crazy cat lady :Shy:

he means me... amirite? Love you hidey, stay in contact! you will never leave me :Shocked: :Frown: But yeah, basically as hide said, thankyou everyone. Y'all are great. EDIT: WAIT WHAT I DIDNT GET THIS SUGAR?????? I SEE HOW IT IS :Proud:

Take care Thor, will miss you and your memes dude :Frown: best of luck with the future of PRO!

Take care Yasham. We had some good runs together, kappa. But seriously you were an awesome Head GM and i respect you for your staff-work and the many months spent being your colleague was great. Best of luck in the future.

best of luck in the future Anduin, great working with you dude. Im sorry to leave you in it as the only remaining GM, but im sure you'll do fine with what you can do, real fine GM :Heart:

I blame you and your kiss of death xD ANOTHER STAFF BITES THE DUST

Players, Its been an honour to serve you as GM for my 8 months as staff. We have had some great times and ive grown so much since becoming a staff member of PRO. I have bonded with so many players and some good some bad, mostly good but the few bad, well.. i apologise, someone has to wear the police uniform :Shy: Im leaving staff due to some recent circumstances which mean i can no longer serve as your shiny mudkip loving staffer, unfortunately. However I wish you all the best in your futures with PRO, i may stick around forums but i will no longer be GM as of now. Those that know of me, feel free to stay in contact over Discord, those that didnt know of me, im that GM that you never heard of until now xD Best of luck aswell to all of my fellow staff, i love each and every one of you! Its been a pleasure working alongside you to make PRO a better place, sharing and adopting each others ideas, helping each other grow and develop and better ourselves time and time again, the banter we all shared was great you are all funny and interesting people and it was great to know you guys, im sure you will continue to serve PRO as the excellent staff that you are, you guys are amazing and i respect you all so much. Stay in contact! And as i cant WOT as much as Hideliet and Pixiu, and frankly im a man of few words (mostly) that is it from me. I just wanted to say a formal farewell before disappearing, i feel after spending 8 months here, this was required upon my stepping down. GG to you all and go catch them mudkips! :Heart: My final words are:
