Claim System + Call for Help Code = Win

Oh you. 7890

Don't act like it is not true. I used to post on bg (until i left because i was outraged with all the cheating), so i know what it is like over there. Don't think you can fool me.

personally ive only had a nm taken once me and 4 other BLM were manaburning CC and for some reason i dont know why when he droped down from the bridge he went unclaimed for about half a second which was enough for a solo ninja to use violent flourish to take claim luckly not even a minute after that CC charmed the ninja and we nuked his ass into oblivion and took our NM back and killed it . but yes sometimes nms go unlcaimed for reasons i dont know we werent out of range of it and lack of damage wasnt a issue we got it from 100% down to 20% in less than 2 minutes not sure what happened there.

Most cnyics are cyncial because of other cynics. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Try being nice sometime. You might be suprised at how helpful it can be.

actually, I'm extremely nice, to everyone... until you burn me, once. You will never be afforded a 2nd chance to do it again, as you forfeited my trust in the possibility of you being a decent human being the 1st time you burned me. You get the respect-or lack thereof-that you earn in your conduct with me. Don't want to be treated like a jack-ass? don't be one.

As to the guy calling anyone that allows a mob to turn white "garbage", if only any of that were true. The common complaint here is that you shouldn't be allowed to benefit from the work of others. Discussing it brings up what are some apparent flaws in the system, like a mob losing hate even tho' it's still taking damage from the poison or whatever you put on it. The game is supposed to mimic a real world; who in the real world do you know that is not going to be pissed at you after a poisoning, simply because you are 30 feet away? The players here that are complaining are complaining about things like that which simply is not realistic. "You jackass, you poisoned me!!! I'm gonna kill-oh, wait, you're over there, never mind", doesn't seem that realistic to me.

For that matter, 18 guys in plain view have been wailing on you for some time, inflicting thousands of points of damage, 1 dies/is charmed and it takes only a couple seconds for you to decide all the bleeding and stuff is no biggie?! When you can see someone standing not 35 feet away holding a weapon coverred in your blood? Again, where's the realism? Are we all just trying to kill one of 28,000 incarnations of Jesus who's busy "turning the other cheek"?

If you screw up, you lose rights to your "work" (however hard that actually is, Abyssea is fingerlicking easy and no one has any right to complain about lost effort in that zone). That's it. You screw up, you lose, you die, you potentially lose claim.

You do things right? You don't lose claim. Funny how that's overlooked so often.

When claim is forfeit? Better someone kill the monster than no one at all. Otherwise, that would just be a waste of a Heqet. You know what I say when I screw up and someone gets my NM?

"Well, at least someone got something out of it."

For all this talk about vultures and justice, the general mindset here is horribly immature.

^ because everything in the world is Black & White and there are no grey areas amirite?

like i said. if players were not garbage they wouldnt lose claim. we run with 12 people in the shell. we never lose claim. why b/c we r not garbage players. so once again someone hating coz they are in turn garbage as well.

This argument and others like it are completely irrelevant. It's like saying "You're stupid for taking South Street home and getting mugged as a result. I'm not stupid because I take North Street and don't get mugged. North Street is so easy to take home, so you deserved to get mugged."

This argument doesn't change the 'crime' of mugging, which is the point here. People playing the game shouldn't have to worry about their own time and effort going 'yellow' and some amoral person stealing it, regardless of game skill level. Period.

I hate your posts because they are unreadable.
