N it seems a lot of new players like this stuff, it's fun to them seeing bags like u used to see in gms
Except that players with bad intentions also try to do this to afk high level players, where they'd lose over an hour or 2 of hard work to some kid thinking he's being funny.. or a safety charm.. either way, it's just plain lame and childish and sure we could shrug it off.. But then they will just keep doing it forever.
Killing people or being killed yourself with a summoning bag (think Lith Harbor Ship) == #feelthenostalgia. You can think what you want about it and everyone can have an opinion but don't say it isn't nostalgic lol.
Ok those r so rare. Almost all pple would not go up to an afk high level n spawn a boss bag for no reason lol. People do it in mass groups for the reaction most of the time u don't have that happening to higher lvls. N that problem can be solved by simply keeping the bags at a low level (rombots as highest maybe) . And the people u r mentioning R also very rare. 90% probably of pple do this without bad intentions. I just don't know how u can fix this thing that's not really a problem imo Besides if ur really worried about that % at high lvl just afk in fm
IMO things should stay how they are. Sure you lost some EXP. It's part of the server and old MS. I personally can't stand them, and have never even used one to kill anyone but removing them / banning users wouldn't help nor FIX anything. There will always be that guy.
I don't recall ever mentioning I was in a party with you, or explicitly calling YOU ignorant. I was just pointing out the fact that there are worse problems with the community. Sorry if you took it personally.
I had no idea, I apologize. I wouldn't consider it worse, like I said I don't mind 1 person being afk in a 6 members party unless it's like 2+ and then it becomes an issue. @Gangsta I can see where you're coming from but I don't wanna lose my hard worked experience just so someone would be able to feel nostalgic. Either on Gags or my mule, it doesn't matter. You're taking someone's time and effort away. Yeah, some people might be abit more elastic on these kind of things, some high levels even die intentionally, but I do no tolerate that, sorry.
If you are so afraid of losing exp by dying by someone who uses those bags just sit in the FM whenever you afk.
If you click "OK" in that map you get revived and instantly killed in it. It will NOT revive in the nearest town.
I think youre exaggerating, a loss of 10% below level 51 is minor in my opinion. I died more than once by those sacks at LPQ, and I just laughed while watching all the others die aswell. I guess there are many kinds of players, some are more competetive and some enjoy these stuff, even as "victims". And lets not forget, it's just a game. Dying here and there, it happens, specially as low levels. It's a part of the game.
Nope, you're still completely tunnel visioned on the example that had been given, rather than the concept. I can safely tell you that in the last month 3 or 4 ppl have tried to kill my 17x mage on purpose when I was afk just because I didn't /hide/ in fm. I didn't cry about it, but I can fully understand when people are annoyed by it, or maybe even hurt.. In the end, we're supposed to be a friendly community, I don't see how hurting each other's progress on purpose fits in there.
Griefing is meant to be. Stop this nonsense about whenever or not the community is corrupted. It will always be there, simple as that. I remember in the old days of WoW (back in Burning Crusade) where the Horde took over the main cities of Alliance. New players couldn't return their quests because of level 80 Horde players stood in their way and couldn't do shit. Neither could Alliance's level 80 players do anything because Horde was overwhelming. Even the GMs had to step in to take care of this. It took them weeks to clean it up before they got their cities back. Even today, there are still people trying to do the same thing what occured years ago.
