First of all, I wanted to thank everyone

[blowfin]

Greetings, everyone!
First of all, I wanted to thank everyone that has participated with discussing the claim system in this thread. Unfortunately, it seems that the conversation has gone quite off-topic, which is why this thread will now be closed. I understand how heated these discussions can be, but the main purpose of these forums is to discuss matters in relation to the subject of the thread. I understand how easy it can be for tempers, as well as the point of the thread, to be lost as the thread and the number of participants grows, and when things get out of hand, that is where moderators have to step in. I hope all of you continue to participate in thoughtful and civil discussions about the game, since it will benefit all of us as a community. Take care, and good luck!

So does this mean the Dev team plans to circumvent people who habitually try to gank mobs of people?

We would like an answer.

Thanks.

I don't understand the point of this.

He's raging because the thread that was horribly derailed was locked and sees it as proof that the dev team supports stealing mobs. Contrary to popular belief, forum moderators are not members of the dev team and they don't speak for them.

I don't understand how the thread went off topic, then again, I didn't have the privilege of seeing the posts that got deleted.

Either way, I see the answer as being "NO, WE AREN'T PLANNING TO CHANGE THE WAY THE CLAIM SYSTEM WORKS, ***".

But i'm not raging. Just seems a bit silly. We should at least deserve an answer form the dev team, even if they don't want to touch the issue with a 10 foot pole.

People can only take a mob if you fail and should have the mob taken if that's the case.

What's wrong with that?

Now if there was a game mechanic where nothing you could do and from no fault of your own could lead to the mob being taken thats fair enough but the stuff you are on about is user fail. I've never had a mob stolen or taken from me ever, unless I died and at the point I lost the fight and the mob isn't mine anymore.

Considering apoc atma and infinite reraises it's nice to have a mob being able to be taken from you if you suck.

If they suck enough, they'll never win. At that point they'll be forced to give up or they'll time out, and that's when you get to claim it. Stealing while they zombie it and wait for 1 of their pt to run and get a brew is for losers. If it's a NM that you can't pop multiple mobs of, and so you're sat there waiting for them, send them a /tell and ask them if you can help them to kill it so that they can move on and you get to pop yours faster. Obviously it's their mob so they get the drops. Doing this then stealing their drops is also for losers.
If you steal mobs, or steal drops then take this: ---> L ... and wear it on your forehead for all to see.

If someone messed about with a mob for upto an hour making me wait then tried to zombie it I'm taking it and killing it asap with no procs or anything just to destroy it infront of them.

I don't do it often cause I usually offer to help but sometimes it's nice to have the option if people deserve it. Thats the point of a community, be nice or be bad? If they sterilise the game too much they will remove any and all personality that made/makes it great.

I don't see anything wrong with the claim system in the first place. If it goes yellow, you probably screwed up somewhere.

[Korpg]

Apparently not.

BST is supposed to still lose claim during pet swaps.
