That is an utterly disingenuous post.
In another thread at another time "joining a good league" could be great advice.
You haven't argued at all why, the advice to join an active league, isntead of an inactive league, a league with more people instead of 1-20, is non beneficial.

In that context, replying that people should simply join 'better' leagues, implying that 'better' equals a major coining league and that their current league "weren't better" i.e. were bad, is quite clearly just flaming them and their opinion.
No one in these forum, or anywhere in any forum has made that implication. Even major coining league,have never made such an implication that a coinining league is better than a non coining league. I have seen it made in player level, but not in league level. A league is a complex unit. And coining doensn't in anyway make it better. As I once said to someone, ''A league is as powerful as its strongest hammer, but is not as strong as its biggest hammer, because anyone can be a hammer, you just have to fight a weaker person''

To the rest of us it's quite clearly an unacceptable response, especially for someone that is meant to represent Plarium.
I think we all know that coining and balance are serious problems for this game. People discussing the problem don't deserve to be flamed by Plarium or their representatives.
You chose to involve yourself in a matter not directed to you in anyway. My reply was to Lord Gadheras, and not to You. You chose to involve yourself in a matter directed to someone else, and chose to make that same matter hurtful to you. Lord Gadheras was not in anyway hurt.
To say you were merely ''discussing'' is a very disturbing. If you read your comments, the kind of words you used, hurtful and incitefull words. You know that you command a great deal of respect in these forum, and instead of using that skill to enhance and better the community. You choose to make a very small matter into a heap of a problem.

Condoning it just leaves a black mark against your integrity. What it says is that you will do nothing when you or your representatives break the forum rules. So why the hell should anyone else observe the rules?
What rules was broken. Is it a policy, forum or ingame rule. I can't find any rule stating that ''advising players to join ''better'' league is wrong''
These is a rule which address issues relating to league, ''or in-game organizations''
3.4. Use profanity, to include veiled foul language or vulgarity when naming in-game locations, objects, or organizations. Administrators may rename these in-game locations, objects, or organizations immediately and without notice.
The wasn't any bridge of rules.

You dig yourself a bigger hole by trying to defend the indefensible. At least applogise for the remark, even if you do nothing about it.

You choose to assume it wasn't intentional to cause offense (pretty strange conclusion given the offenders posting history), But allowing you to take that at face value, then you are concluding that your representative can not exercise good judgement and causes unintentional offence. That is pretty scary also, given they get to exercise that judgement over the rest of us in regard to determining which of our posts are flames/trolls and keeping the forum in good order.
Intentional or unintentional it's a problem right?
Next time the topic comes up you might want to discuss and argue why you think the game is appropriately balanced. Or if you have little or nothing to respond with, simply don't reply? But flaming the customers..... not cool.
So the CM should apologize for a remark, that
1. is not at fault
2. She didn't speak
3. Doesn't concern you
4. Is acceptable standard that has been culturally practiced since the dawn of these forum
While you on the other hand
Broke many rules,
in these one thread, you broke 2 intentionally and 1 by that post alone.
