Hey! You KS'd Me....

I dont know about anyone else, but I'm getting a little tired of being accused of Kill stealing or seeing other people getting accused of it. I think people use the term a little too liberally or really just dont know what it means. If somebody is simply standing 10 meters next to a mob and is not actively engaged with it then it is not a Kill steal if somebody else actually attacks it. However, if the same person is engaged with a mob and then somebody comes along and also engages the mob and happens to out-dps them then that is a kill steal. Sorry, but its not like going to the movie theater and saving a seat for someone, I use this analogy because people think if they are simply in the vicinity of a mob then it is reserved until their entire clan shows up. Well, not in reality. This is first come first serve. If you are not actively attacking a mob, then it is free game for somebody who will attack it. People sound like 12 year old children when they start shouting "Ksr", dont KS, or "you KS'd me". Seriously, if your one of these people grow up. Either kill the mob or get out of the way. :twisted:

Actually... not to burst your bubble but it actually isnt ;) We (well, most of us) just prefer to be a bit more civilized about it. But the game Is Currently Designed for the strongest to win. Even your use of the term "KS" is subject to each world's definition - e.g. if a 2nd group "joins" in within 15 seconds of starting a boss fight, it's actually defined as FFA in Rhiannon, not KS.

Omg stinky +1000000
You have said this and perfectly.
People dont understand, its happened to me hundreds of times:
Ex. Im at chillmist waiting for my group to show up and another person is there with half of their group. If i start first and get the kill its still ks, if they start its still ks, if we start at the same time its a ks!
Newbies, if you get ksd by a higher lvl its not a ks get that in your brain! It bugs me so much

In any game, generally, a kill steal is when someone kills a mob that is initialy attacked by someone else. Stinky is correct.

Our free for all rules aply to bosses. It's only a free for all if another clan attacks within the first 15 seconds; a kill steal taking place anytime after with a result of a loss for the initial clan.

LOL That's my point Blaze; that's how Rhiannon Defines those "acts". They're not necessarily universally applied. Heck, if another clan decides to not follow those rules, AND can make Their act stick (i.e. be able to beat everyone else), what we gonna do, report them to Admin for not following PLAYER rules?

Oh wait... that's why Target lock is coming :D

i agree! its so annoying. and when u said u act like 12 year olds when u say that, i laughed, because 12 year olds do say that. i honestly dont think ksing is bad on a boss, i mean the strongest will prosper, and so if someone kses me, i shrug it off, and train my rogue to kill em :) :D

Dread the day brother, dread the day. Someone came up with a good target lock idea though;

1. Group 1 starts attacking.
2. Group 2 starts attacking.

Target Lock Rule: Group 2 must achieve a higher percentage of aggro than Group 1.
e.g. 60% aggro vs. 40% aggro.

If Group 1 can't achieve that low percentage of aggro, my God what are you doing there?!

So ya, anyway, this isn't my idea I just can't find the link XD
