Abusing the Trade feature to interrupt, etc

[Pinkie_Pie]

HOLY CRAP NECRO, why bring this old thread up. >.<;

Moral of the story.

Tell them stop then just /busy or blacklist them and move on.

/thread and lock this

omg you guys...really? why are you getting so bent out of shape over troll? and to go so far as to ban these people for it clearly you have too much time on your hands /busy teleport then/busy again to take it off boom done. Yes it makes you laugh when you do once to another person or several (friend that was trying to run away from hug emote lol) but if you keep bothering the GM over something stupid like this they might just turn around and ban you for bothering them making them waste their time tracking down some guy that opened trade while mid teleport when they could be helping someone that got they're money/account taken by hacker. Now caster trying to survive by using a healing spell before mob gets closer to them during leve that's a different story then they are just being arseholes.

I just interrupted someones teleport last night after killing an S rank. Log into forums today and see this thread in full swing again. Maybe it's a sign. W/E, no remorse felt!!! But yeah, I also +1 that trades should not be initiated on players involved in combat, teleportation, or any duty with a timer (maps/fates etc)

over a year later, why is this still a thing?

Considering that this happened to Yoshi P when he was in Tonberry, I'm surprise that they haven't tried changing it.

Come back after people use the exploit to get you killed or fuck you up while doing something important.

My question is, how you get away with this word, but I get suspended for a few days for masking it by only using asteriks?

Honestly I don't see the harm with trade interrupts, I mean if someone's done it to you over three times in a row then yeah it just becomes annoying, but you can just set yourself to Busy status. You can't help some people amusing themselves.

It adds a bit more to the way we can interact at least. In DCUO (forgive me for the reference to this...ahem...'game') you have a Trinket that could turn you into a Gorilla and throw barrels at people, which would actually knock people around, send them flying or a way to push people who are AFK into another area. Just engage in general jappery.

Look, there should be a punishment for trade interruptions, but a permanent ban is far to harsh. That's like... me getting the death penalty for poking my sister and not stopping when she cries, "Quit touching me".

Someone reported you, no one reported him

The point is it should be an easy quality of life fix. And its still not done.

While there are workarounds with Busy, I would like to offer a different point of view.

As someone who was bullied a lot in school, having teleports interrupted multiple times in a row give very, VERY uncomfortable flashbacks to feelings of being unable to escape someone who wishes you harm.

A single interrupt just to be teasing? I'll shrug it off. Having someone effectively lock me down (I didn't KNOW Busy would stop trades and let me teleport in peace) made me log out of the game and not come back for three hours thanks to a panic attack.

If you weren't bullied in school, or if this doesn't affect you, good for you. For others it brings up very bad memories, so please keep that in mind. Having trade not stop a teleport does nothing to make your experience in the game any worse - unless you're the kind of person who only has fun by taking away fun from others, I guess.
