Griefing Devilsaurs

Recommended Posts

You are playing the role of a member of one of two opposing, if not outright warring, factions.

You should try reading the thread before commenting. The complaint is about griefing from member of the same faction. This should, obviously, be a bannable offense.

ofcourse it shouldn't. if someone mess with you, using spam sheep for example, you can sort this minor issue, by bringing more friends, to kill the target fast enough. if it's that important to you, it can still be fixed and countered with other ingame mechanics. If you can't fix it, you can still buy the items on AH. You are not 100 % prevented from ever getting these drops.

No, that isn't obvious to me, either. Sheeping a mob someone is trying to kill is just a funny thing you get to do as a mage. All sorts of things you can do to avoid this:

1. Leave
2. Play another game, read a book, go for a run
3. Play on pve where there is less competition and thus incentive for these cartels to timesink in such a way. 

If the cartel found a way to extend its influence across factions, then you'll have to do the same with your counter-insurgency. This could also be independent actors, simply trying to get you to leave so they can reset the mob and tag it. That seems like a crafty way for a mage to control his or her farm spawns, to me. Figure something out, choose anther spot, or out-compete, out-wait them. 

I have read lots of replies saying this sheeping thing is "clearly" or "obviously" bannable, with zero citations of explicitly stated rules nor precedent. Only anecdote. And I would argue the above point as to why it should not be, were this the case. 

Frustrated about a gameplay matter with in-game resolutions. It's ok to be frustrated. But trying to take some moral high ground and plead for authoritarian intervention is just pathetic. 

And no they are not necessarily china farmers. Like I said, these people are doing you a favor. They are giving you the kind of immersive gameplay experience that you can seldom find in any game. I'm actually excited for the servers to be up so I can level and get to ungoro and see these cartels operate because that is some classic and heavily player-driven stuff.

So when you're proven wrong and uninformed you just change your argument rather then admit you were wrong. Got it.

And no, it isn't "funny", it's griefing.

If you have 4-5 players attacking the same target, no mage spamming polymorph can ever stop you from killing that.

So what, grouping to fight the other faction is part of the game. Grouping to fight other players on your own faction is not.

The reason staff isn't doing anything should be obvious, some of them are part of the cartel.

Yeah, i also heard GMs spawn devilsaurs for them and uses the .kill command.

This gotta be the most retarded comment ever. Why would a GM spawn devilsaurs, and kill it instantly, rather than just handing out gold or skins then... seriusly dude, this is beyond stupidity
