Just because you are hostile doesnt mean you cant party.

What is this, Lineage II?

unfortunately, there's some people who think this is PW Arena and decide to KOS everyone lower than them.

this is one of their solutions to put them over everyone else.

the comaradie and etiquette that was in ns3 has not carried over well with no holds barred pking

despite the fact that ns4 offer soo much more. mass quests, much much more full developed areas and the like.

actually lineage 2 has hardly any pking except for a few noob pkers. Once you turn red and are a pk in l2 watch out. The masses try to pk you.

It goes to show you people will do anything they can get away with.

Thats why a bounty system would be good. Everytime a player kills someone from a faction they get a mark against them. Then town factions can set bounties on their heads. Maybe you can get special items from the gods. The only problem is making sure its not abused. You could even have a most wanted list or most bounties points collected list and give players a game title and prestige.

You could make it that when a player dies by another faction and they are on the bounty list they could lose a lot of exp and maybe some items. That would probably stop some people killing noobs.

well actually this is what you get devs.

and btw
whoever posted that quoted... it stays massive camping for a LOOT. not EXP. so technically... it is not against the rules. unless you consider EXP as LOOT.

I did mention that it did specifically say loot, but the spirit of the rule would seem to mean ANY camping, not just for items.

And I do consider xp worth more than loot, I'd rather get 5000xp from killing an enemy than 5000gold from the loot bag.
So you could say I consider xp atleast as loot.

I agree 100%, and indeed 99% of all your lovely flock of players do this, I have often met poeple from other factions who I don't know but team up with so between us we can go further but....

It only takes one jerk to ruin it all and answers like this don't solve that problem
