The idea is that, a server owner has, at their own level, a right to disallow people from playing on their servers that they don't want to host. Whether or not that person should be banned, or if it is fair to ban, is not that big of a philosophical discussion.
It is a multiplayer gameserver. It is not a freely elected government of authority or nation of individuals collaborating for the sake of a larger group of people and necessities.
It is a server host providing spare CPU cycles to the game at their own discretion.
Sure, it may be wrong to ban people who have not actually done anything truly wrong.
But it is also at the freedom of the server owner to make that choice.
The community may choose to play, or not play, on these servers. You are upset that they are using these servers, and yet you are forbid from joining them.
I hate to argue on behalf of them, but it is quite foolish to me that these threads keep coming up when the real solution is pretty clear - don't use those servers.
Also, I do understand the issue completely, and I wouldn't be offended if they were removed from the MS.
But the reality is that this incessant soap-boxing about it is just a waste of time...
Said imho...
No you are missing my point.
On a private server one can do what he wants: correct. But MS is a public service provided by AC community. Is this correct too? So servers that are on MS should satisfy some standards. I suggest that one of these should be giving public access. You want a private server? Keep it private: no advertising on MS.
I am not "upset" as u say. I am banned there from a year or so. I never really cared of that: you clearly do not know me. I never rage or worry about stupid things around me. But in these conditions - with not so many players around - keeping in MS servers that are not really public is stupid and counter-productive for the game itself.
Community may choose you say. But information is the first condition of a free choice. Do people know that playing there they will not be able to play with many other players? No, simply no. So they do not choose: they go there since EU players have a good ping. That's all.
