The fact that what he did wasn't specfically designed to KILL YOU immediately makes it one of the less impressive dick moves available.<br /><br />The only reason why what he did is even memorable is because by poking your mob, he increased its health... I don't like that in situations where I'm soloing a mob either. However, in the process he's actually providing a service to OTHER people... making it live longer so others can arrive and get tag credit. Under other circumstances, he may have been trying to keep it up longer for a buddy. That isn't cool from your perspective, obviously, but it's a natural extension of the way the multi-tag mechanic works on the lesser rares.<br /><br />In terms of my own personal guidelines, the only mobs where I'll do the "poke and avoid" are ones that have a fixed health pool and that are more than 95% likely to kill me (for example, Acherus on a melee toon). In that case, I'm not hurting anyone by doing it, the small amount of dps I do is still helping. Otherwise, I'll normally try to kill things ASAP so I can move on to other things.<br /><br />There is definitely an extra ring of hell for those who grief in ways that will kill people, though. As Anon mentions above, players kiting the crabs to the flight paths and one-shot folks who went AFK while flying over (which considering the very indirect path isn't uncommon). Players kiting mobs below Ordos over to join the Ordos fight itself, often causing a wipe in what was otherwise a clean attempt.<br /><br />I get that the Island is supposed to be dangerous, what I don't like is that at this point 90% of the danger is caused by other players, even of my own faction, who generally aren't PvP flagged so I have exactly zero potential for any sort of payback. What can we do, complain in General? Not likely to help anything. Plus, most of the grief/troll things could theoretically be caused just by sloppy play... getting a bit too close to a mob while running by vs intentionally getting too close. Kiting the crabs into the group so you get help from the guards rather than doing it in order to kill other players. Intent can be hard to fathom even when you saw exactly what happened.Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168597614461308610.post-34146314760865841882013-10-23T17:03:15.820-07:002013-10-23T17:03:15.820-07:00Other nasty stuff:
