I would hate a first hit lock as many would this would completely remove competition. In this game as it is small compared to many others competition is what keeps it going and if its removed the game would've completely boring. As for ks only time a boss is ksed is if the boss was started dealt decent amount of damage then another group full dps comes and takes it no other situation is considered ks imo and many others. Also in all mmorpgs there are ppl who view ur way about ks and there are also ppl who view the other way so saying its a general thing for ks to be shunned this isnt true it's the same as this game. Although most of the other games have much more things to do for players therefore its not a huge incentive to take another groups boss or they have pvp servers just for boss competition.

I'm glad OTM didn't give Elvra a vote then .

It's very rare to see an experienced mmorpg player ever complain about ks .

I wouldn't mind if target lock was on bosses only.
If you're gunna cry because I killed a mob that spawns every 5 minutes then you need to play another game.
Just for the OP first hit target lock suggestion I suggest you ks him if you're on his server. :D

First I want to say, everyone out there who thinks kill stealing is OK, or is part of competitive play, is just over the top in my book. Please don't get me wrong, you kill steal me on purpose I will make sure you don't get to kill anything as long as your in the area or I get bored. Now with that being said, it is a long standing mmorpg "rule" that kill stealing is wrong. Now I know, for most of you this is your very first game with other people and you have a hard time figuring out how to properly act. However, I'm here to tell you kill stealing is not cool, is not good sportsmanship, and is just rude. In another post someone compared the supposed competition of kill stealing to the competition of sports. No, sports have rules, sports have sportsman who for the most part play by the set rules as well as the unwritten rules. There is no comparison. They aren't even in the same ball park.

And with all that, it is my vote to make target lock happen at first hit. You want to get rid of kill stealing idiots... Lock the mob on first hit, then all you wanna be mmorpgers can go find another game to wreak your ignorant havoc in.

Making it a first hit would be a terrible idea. Not every class attacks at the same rate for one thing. But a HUGE problem is Internet lag. I have low lag but many people suffer up to several seconds because of where they live. This would prohibit people with leggy connections from ever competing for camped bosses again. Not so fair...

Target Lock does not affect game play that much, truly. People are over-reacting. They act as if the game is turning into a carebear game. But it really is nothing of the sort.

I agree. It's not as bad as people are making it out to be.

That's not the reason why people are against. The way it is now is that one clan can control everything by making players go through them for important things. If a player or group of players get big or become influential, then the are bought out, or invited to join controlling clan. If this system works out and puts the power back to the game then the clans will not have monopolizing capabilities. Then it becomes more to where it is up to the individual to succeed or fail.

Im completely against target lock. There's clans for a reason. If theres a target lock, whichever clan is most active will get the kill usually. The thing is, when you get to a high lvl, you don't need to play as much. Itll completely screw up FFA kills though
