You mentioned the player was already hero 50,so was well past the level 40 required for the vultures helmet.
What was done, unfortunately in my opinion, isn't against the rules, but I think is ruining new kingdoms, and unfair to people who might believe everyone is starting off on an equal basis.
He is probably already part of a huge clan, and in a short space of time will likely have a stronghold and a stranglehold on the kingdom, and if the rest of his buddies, who will have helped him make the current progress, haven't already novice jumped/teleported as well, will do so when the waiting period is up.
unfortunately there lies the problem while players spend soooooo much money plarium will not take action against players that find ways to abuse the system, the game will eventually suffer and die off as many games do when the creators place money earned before the best interest of the normal players, this isnt the first game to go down the drain this way and wont be the last, greed takes over every game at some point before they die offL*Yes I know only Malory Archer has one but the amount some players spend is beyond belief.
I can speak from some experience.
After playing for over a year, I have not made as much progress as the player mentioned.
You have to know your way round the game,but you are right, you need mega amounts of energy to be able to kill enough invaders to get the equipment, which means lots of real money or lots of gold.
There are other ways to get materials for legendary equipment, but it still requires a lot of energy and/or help to do so.
He has to have palace 12 for a Shaman so will have had to speed build once he arrived.
Levelling up Shaman also takes some doing, more time, more resources, more energy to kill lots of ghosts, or again mega bucks.
So you have been smart enough to compile a list of specialist items that can be forged with just standard equipment, and suggest the post initiator was in error.
It is easy enough given the information to find the player and check on the facts.
What cannot be above usual or rare.?
If you mean gems, though its true you cannot combine them to high levels at palace 5, this doesn't me you cannot possess,legendary equipment or legendary gems.
You only have to have a usable novice jump to move kingdoms, after that you can boost build and learn.
If the owners are happy with the way things are going(making money), they are much less likely to change this situation.
There are other ways to change this without the draconian measures you suggest.
Just because it is possible to do something in a specific time frame shouldn't mean you are compelled to do so.or face some kind of sanctions for not doing.
I they changed the rules on jumping previously ,possibly over a year ago,however,I think the kind of jumping under discussion here was going on well before the introduction of the Drakker system ( which in my opinion was a huge mistake), so they are not really circumventing its current rules and restrictions.
Though it is possible that things may have worsened because of the introduction of the drakkar.
