3rd Person: A valid tool, or admin excuse to ban?

3e person Is indeed for players to give them a different look Into playing the character but you can abuse 3e person for example If you use 3e person to look through a wall or over a prop even If your character cannot do that IRl and that Is the reason for some bans that people get.

Again, I understand that. I'm not sure if you guys understand that as soon as you toggle 3rd person, you have instantly already abused by that standard. It gives you visual access to areas that you cannot see, regardless if props are involved. It gives you visual on directly behind you, it gives you extended ability to see objects past the 90 degree FOV it gives you a FOV of about 120 in forward direction, which is fair, but it gives you a raised angle, and extended arcs of vision that you don't normally have. That's without panning the camera or doing anything other that just toggling 3rd person.

This isn't about looking over walls, which you can do in cars, which people do do in cars, which everyone denies that they use the information but again, everyone is lying. As soon as you have seen the information, it has been processed by your brain. That knowledge is there and though a rule follower will say he can't raid for that, he will undoubtedly now know where to look and will "happen" upon it later. So that arguement is invalid as well.

If you want everyone to be in 1st person, make them all be in 1st person. Punishing a player for using 3rd person as intended by it's design is simply foolish. Wouldn't it be so much smarter to just remove it? Because at this point, it's only being acted on in case by case. This player is wrong, this player is okay, because of a person's opinion, not based on any system defined fact. It creates double standards, much like removing an RPP instead of giving ban.

I seriously would like more STAFF to come in as this is a legitmate problem that players are being banned over where other players are not, which goes against the idea of having an unbiased rule system.
