not everyone does it just to annoy people. Some people do it so they can quickly get back to full strength. What if mod is taken and I'm left at 0.5, do I have to go in and beg someone to kill me? Some of us take pride in not dying easily or often, so that seems lame to me. Besides that There would be a big devaluation of the death stat.
so much on this game creates the same "antisocial" environment. Stealing Gralats is antisocial, yet people aren't searching for a fix(yet).
|
All antisocial aspects of the game should be addressed at some point. There's matters of priority, but I'm responding to this thread and not a thread about a different issue in gameplay.
|
How will they monitor for that?
|
Computers are exceptional counting machines. Record sets of events that meet an weighted set of criteria (e.g. off-tag guild member kills on-tag guild member), provide a threshold (e.g. 5 times per minute), and report any activity exceeding that threshold for review. I will yield that these systems require statistical analysis in order to minimize false-negatives and false-positives.
|
What about those who don't do it to annoy other players? What if I'm a farmer who doesn't want to lose my bombs?
|
That's why I suggested a tie-in to AP. Farmers don't generally have low AP.
|
Would you like me to throw back in your face "maybe If you can't kill a suicider then you just should consider the fact that you suck at pking"? Probably not.
|
Maybe if you can't kill a suicider, the suicider is being antisocial, and the community deserves better.
|
But for a real argument, this update is mostly for the newbies who can't get suiciders easily. Do you realize that they do suck at Sards, so that indeed will be a problem for them? Noobs could and would get in death spirals at Sards because of this.
|
Everyone starts somewhere, and newbies are more likely to be turned off by antisocial behavior than level of difficulty.
|
All I see this doing is making Pking more annoying at certain places.

And I see this making PKing less annoying at certain places. If it wasn't annoying, nobody would have posted a thread about it.
