I rarely check the forums so sorry if im replying pretty late.
Btw, obelisk was not ksd by us. Pres was alone died and reset it. Unless this is a different incident.
I have played on different servers where different rules exist, have also played on a server with a detailed ffa structure quite a while ago and even rosmerta itself evolved like clan banks etc. but any set of rules is based on some social construct created in that community. It is not game supported, just moral fiction..choices that people make because theres no game engine restriction. So i think thats why theres differences because it is largely based on varying points of views.
Rispetto is far from a perfect clan. We may have lapses of judgment, admittedly so. I myself have engaged in a ks battle with awakening a couple of times i gave a go signal to attack and have regretted it because id like to try to be consistent. So i apologize about that. But yes our policy is no ks others, no matter what clan, to try to be consistent. It is our choice to be different. And i would like to keep it that way, for the most part have been able to.
If everything was fair, i would love competition. But currently fair rules dont exist where a healthy competition can thrive.
I wrote the following, a post to be read by our clan. It is my own personal opinion and may not reflect what everyone thinks. I wrote primarily to win them over, and prevent taking from the smaller clans. But i might as well share,
"I know that if im challenging someone who is 50 levels below me, its not competition. In fact id be a coward if i tried, where is challenge when i know 100% i will win?
I know if im ksing someone who doesnt own the gear that i own im a jerk. That is like me shooting a wrangler with a space gun. Where is challenge when my space gun could make the very ground he stands on disappear?
No when the stake is so little, it is not competition What it is to me is an unncessarily misplaced boost in self esteem. A third grade bullying another kid cuz his momma feeds him an insane amount of dairies.
No it is not the way of the game. And it shouldnt have to be. I choose not to ks cuz i want to make a difference in rosmerta. I want a gaming environment where people dont need to be uncivilized and barbaric. Isnt it logical to wait for ur turn? It will spawn again, Why would u take something that is already claimed by someone else?
Idk about u but i feel good when i know i can ks someone but i stop myself cuz i know its not an even match. And i win over my own selfish nature. That i think is the bigger challenge. Why dont people try to battle the devil inside of them?
Its just a game. Who are u kidding? Then why do u spend time bothering to make friends? Admit it. Its an online niche for real people. Why shouldnt we act as we would in real life with real people? "
Kind of cheesy i know. But that's just me.
Ps:
Rispetto's no ks policy:
If someone else hits first, it is theirs to finish UNLESS it is reset. Upon reset when the boss is still, we attack first, we finish it.
No ks on mobs u level on.
