Will I be banned?

[LinkN64]

I was walking in that forest area and I killed the rogue that usually has a crowd around it. Well I killed the rogue,and the entire crowd reported me....will I be banned? I did one thing,but what if people think that I did multiple things because multiple people reported me?

[Xordan]

I doubt you\'ll be banned.

[Suno_Regin]

I do these things all the time. It\'s called Competetive hunting, and if they can\'t keep up with the competition, they should leave. I was \"reported\" yesterday by some Enkidukai, and I was never banned. It just tells you not to take crap from people who think they own the place.

[Bereror]

As long you do not exploit any game bugs to steal kills, nobody can claim that they \"own\" an NPC or the spot where they spawn. You will not make many friends if you start hunting in the same place without asking first, but that is another story and nobody gets banned for it.

I just saw \"Link\" in a username, and \"ban\" in the subject of his post, and I just wondered...

[Drey]

:P Izzy.

As others explained there is little wrong with what you did... having faster reactions or something is no crime. Just remember the point about exploiting game bugs, also its always nice to ask to join the group before you just kill the monster.

It sounds like the crowd should be banned, not you.



NO ONE can own a spawn.

Yeah, but you use the arrow glitch.

I don\'t use the arrow glitch you idiot. Competetive hunting and KSing are two completely different things.

I\'d like to add onto what everyone else mentioned:

There\'s no owning any spawn by anyone, but I hope that if there was a crowd around a popular spawn point, you at least asked, or greeted, or did something to announce your presence before launching into an attack. If they would have denied you access to the spawn (verbally), the fault is completely theirs. But attempts at conversation first usually take care of misunderstandings and desires to \"report.\"

[LinkN64]

Thank you,it\'s nice to know that I didn\'t do anything against the rules. I think I\'ll just stay away from that spawn entirely.

[Izzy*dot]

Yeah well the point where that one rogue keeps spawning near the magic shop is camped most times I pass there, so I just usually leave it alone. Some people obviously have issues with others touching that spawn point when they\'ve just killed that poor rogue a couple of thousand times:D


Oh and

You too? Those were my thoughts exactly

 You should be tied to nearest tree and a cigarette put in your mouth and lit, then blindfolded, and tickled till you cry .

 Or put on a podium and hailed as a conquering hero.

 Lets break it down shall we:
 \"I was walking in that forest area\" OK so far.
 \"and I killed the rogue\"  Why?
 \"that usually has a crowd around it.\" Was there?
 \"Well I killed the rogue\" why?
 \"and the entire crowd reported me\" So there was a crowd.

SO that leaves me wondering WHY Did you kill it?

You would think that, but no.


me - \"Hi, can I share your spawn?\"

group - \"No.\"

me - \"We could take turns, or share the loot?\"

group - \"No.\"

me - \"Oh.  Well, would you mind if I compete for the spawn with you?\"

group - \"We\'ll report you.\"

me - \"Oh.  Well, that\'s nice.\"

[I then compete with the group, and win every so often.  They send off multiple reports.]

GM - \"What\'s going on here?\"

group - \"He\'s kill stealing.\"

GM - \"Is this true?\"

me - \"No, I\'m just competing for the spawn without cheating.\"

yadda yadda yadda.
