That's actually so funny.

How does prison work.

Short answer? It doesn't. The Jury is just an excuse to troll and prison takes five minutes to break out of, so there's really no point to any of it.

Long answer? The server "randomly" picks five people to be the Jury (you have to complete a questline to be eligible) and they determine how much time you get sentenced to based on a report sheet that lists all of your crimes and notes by the people who reported you.

For example, my report earlier had a few dozen kills on it but they were the same three bots and all of the report notes said "just a bot" or "innocent" etc. Didn't stop all five members of the Jury voting me guilty with a 93 minute sentence (highest sentence on our server all week). One person on the Jury was actually one of the bots I killed and two others were in a troll guild that spends all day in Jury queue just to send people to prison. Even if the other two Jurors had been competent and actually did the job properly (ie read the evidence) and voted innocent I still would have gone to jail.

The entire justice system is pretty much just for trolling.

The giant chat box when you report someone? That says something like "Describe what this person did"? You must not have ever reported someone before because it's impossible to miss.

You have to be trolling (or attempting to). When you click on a footprint or a bloodstain you get a popup with the following:

Report Crime
Use <x> to report a crime.

[Description box]

Location
Time

Report and Cancel buttons

There's no other way to report and bypass the description box.

Honestly never bothered to look i just clicked the report button haha, funny. Went out and found a bloodstain just to see, cant believe i missed it all that time.

Anyway, stop faking that you killed some guys a couple times and got 90 minutes in jail, you've done a lot more then that to get such a long time in there. Sounds shitty about the guys defending the bots or whatever but pvp is pvp and the trial system IS a well known joke.

Oh my god, I've never seen a game with a botting situation like this one. People whine and bitch 24/7 about how they can't kill any quest mobs because bots are farming them all, right? So I experienced the same thing and decided to go Bloodlust and just kill off the bots that were farming the quest mobs I needed. There were literally 30+ bots in this one small area in Yny, most of them level 37-39 farming the level 30 quest mobs.

So I kill about a dozen of them and get my quests done, suddenly there's a group of other players that starts attacking me. These fucking morons - two of which were complaining in chat less than an hour earlier about bots everywhere - are trying to gank me for killing the bots. I currently have a group of about 7-8 people of my own faction trying to protect all of the bots in the area and camping me.

This morning I also got a two and a half hour jail sentence for killing bots last night. Literally every note in my report said "Killing bots" and the jury still voted me guilty because why the fuck not?

I just don't understand it at all. In any other MMO I've ever played you get praised for killing bots, pushing them into corners so they get stuck, etc. In this game people whine and bitch about the bots constantly but if you attack them those very same people will immediately switch over and defend the bots.

Faking? I recommend PvPing and getting some infamy before commenting on a system you clearly don't understand. Time sentences are based on the amount of lifetime crime points. When you're sitting near 3k infamy it doesn't matter how few people you kill; you're going to get a sentence that lasts hours or days.

There's a spell in your spellbook. It costs 25 labor to report a bot and if they get banned you get your labor back, if not tough shit. I used it three times and the same bots are still around so I doubt it's very effective.

lol, for real? That's like anti-anti-bot-measures: Ensure that nobody will report...

The report function was getting abused by people getting killed/griefed so they added a Labor cost to it to prevent abuse.
