And also what leech says, I'm not always on the server but I am on the website and I check who are online, I really see you online, maybe a hour on a weekday and 2 on weekends. It's odd how you find so many bases in such a short period
Areas that take up a lot of space are substantially easier to find than well hidden chests. Even if I suspect I know where a buried chest is there is the increased risk of being accused falsely of xraying. If I can find enough stuff in the easy locations i'll just move on rather than take everything, or i'll come back later when I need more stuff.
Also, the second portion of this statement is non-falsifiable and too vague for me to respond to. The fact that I make these thefts without xraying is proof that I have enough time to make these thefts without xraying, short of tautology this is really difficult to respond to. That said, I generally do nothing other than wander about looking for bases and have gotten better as a result of doing it so frequently.
Additionally this seems to be irrelevant to the ban, if you wish to ban me for being a successful thief I would be more than happy to discuss that in a different thread. Unless you can provide specific instances in which I have xrayed there is no justification for banning me for doing so.
I feel that it is abundantly clear that I have not used xray mods/texture-packs at any point during my time on Kiwike and that this and all previous bans have been the result of gross incompetence on the part of the people attempting to hide the items and on the part of the moderators who have adopted a policy of ban first, ask questions later.
These frequent "witch-trials" are harming my credibility on the server despite my innocence. Most of these issues could be handled quickly and privately. I (and I am sure a non-insignificant number of other players on the server) am rapidly losing faith in the ability of the staff to handle situations in a professional and rational manner. Additionally I am regretting the time and energy I have put in to creating an exciting RP organization that has been routinely persecuted by reckless and inconsiderate bans. If thieves in my guild are going to be banned for xray after every heist they will quickly lose essential anonymity.
Clearly a lot more than just my ban needs to be considered and revised by the staff.
