Nasomi is definitely biased, he fell off the fair admin bandwagon about 2 years ago. It was put to me bluntly back when people were exploiting CHARids on his old autoclaim setup. Him and nabutso both attacked me for reporting it as an exploit, I was even told to shut up about it. I've only reported 1 exploit since then, which was ignored, never fixed, still there to be abused by the people he wants to share with. I'm not going to exploit things but as I come across them, I'm not reporting it, he'll have to earn that knowledge, or he can nerdrage.
People that have been around have watched this thing get more and more biased to certain groups. Those that come off their ivory towers to see what it's really like anyways. People like sapa have beeb enjoying the bi-product of nasomis favs for awhile now, rarely ever see them out mingling with the noobs, and seeing what it's like for 70% of the server. People been waiting 3-4-5 months for him to fix their accounts so they're not stuck, but pops in within minutes of his favs messages that they're having trouble, kinda made that apparent at DA didn't he? That's not the only time it happens though. Having a guy banned within what 3 hours? of Aeroo reporting him for MPK is pretty quick, others been reported that took weeks to get around to. Not defending anyone here, in a perfect world Rixx would have been banned as soon as his cast got off, just throwing out comparisons. Low level content remains a mess and the only fixing that gets done, targets what is considered worth fixing by him and his. They have their little circle and if you're not in it, you don't matter.
As far as skipping entry on dyna bubu, that doesn't prevent anyone from anything. People have done that for years. Pulling an ownm to the zone to crash the zone however, prevents people from experiencing content. He claims it was fixed, but it was unfixed.
There's tons of more obvious biases though. He killed Riverne exp parties soon after the maats caps started showing up. He killed pet exp soon after the 1st 100 or so 75s got reached. He had a page so ToDs could be autoscraped by tools. Knew it was hapoening, It was taken down on the NA page, but he left the JP version of it up for people to scrape, once the JP page became public knowledge he crashed it too. He added Kclub to LoO and only a handful even knew about it, the drop rate was stupidly high until everyone found out, then soon as there was competion he "adjusted" the drop rate, still too much competition so he "adjusted" the spawn times. He nerfed ranger killing 1/2 the woodworking market to keep people from being able to zerg their nm's without Kclub, once he realizes what a working latent on rune chopper will do I'm sure it'll magically get broken. Still no bcnm60 for a zerg weapon, still not able to get the chart for a semi zerg weapon. Ksnm and bcnm loot got cut after the higher ups got theirs, but ksnm99 got bumped up a notch. When they're done with that, expect it to get cut also. KA after what... 6? Years just now drops the Speed Belt, but so does KSNM 99, so every belt is money now, and I can only assume it's because someone needs to recap their gil, or get more tradeable belts to feed their ls haste. The track record on this server has been like this for years now, only fix it when more than his handful figures it out, then nerf it into the ground.
I could go on and on about these things, but I guess it'd be more worth the readers time to buy him a beer. I was fairly disgusted to see him plug his donate button on the stream, I've lost a fair ammount of respect for nasomi and his decisions. Does that mean I'll stop playing? No. Does that mean I don't enjoy the server? No. Does it mean I'll stop helping people? No. What it does mean is I don't expect to ever be considered worth listening to, and I only expect future updates to cater to the demands of his top donors. I agree he's fair in his discipline, he doesn't ban people for no reason (intentionally) and I understand he needs the automation of not so perfect tools to do the bulk of the snooping. I agree with you on that, but when it comes to directing a roadmap and to which audience he leans towards, he's more than biased, he's downright elitest, and like I mentioned before, if you're not in that club, you don't matter, neither does your time and effort.
