It sucks. It's just that if most people are like me, they have come to expect it as part of Carrion Fields. Do you remember Golmagus? I expected to be flagged or attached illegally every time I wasn't wanted already and saw him on PK, and I expected him to "somehow" get away with it *wink* *wink* "Oh, he didn't break the -letter- of the law, really, really". That sort of got me used to the idea that Arbiters are meant to be flawed and abusive. Was I happy when they were finally dismantled? Hell yes. But now that they're back, my only advice to you is: Expect constant mistakes. But, yes, it sucks, and I understand why you'd want to come here and vent. The thing is, this kind of thing has inspired 70post flames many times before, and no good comes out of it, so it looks like you'll just have to hike up your pants and accept it.
Expect illegal flags and attacks from Arbiters.
Expect incompetence.
Just avoid them, don't play them, and maybe they'll finally go away, again, or the particularly damaging aspect (exp holes from guards) will be changed.
