Is it normal to get defamed for no reason?

You can get around 280 fame or so from quests, especially the ones that involve killing an area boss.
You'd have to buy fame if you wanted to be on the fame leaderboard whenever that gets fixed lol

 

Just collect defame, s'all good. Piss him off more, so he uses his time and effort to help your defame collection. If he suspects you are collecting defame, he will probably start to fame you instead, then you say thanks everytime he fames you, his mind will be blown. The key is to make sure you don't say anything when you get defames though, this step is important! Actually, respond negatively so that person will think you hate the defames and in return, more defames coming your way! If eventually he gets bored defaming you, do something to enrage him and he will continue mule defaming you haha. Ultimate win, then rinse and repeat with someone new.
