Cerberus Be Warned!Follow

#1 Aug 10 2005 at 6:26 AM Rating: Decent
Hello friends and fellow players, something has ocurred tonight that must be told. My LS and I were out hunting a few HNM's last night,we happened on a small group camping Sin up in Rollanberry Fields. We decided to stay and within a few hours that small group turned into a full LS by the Name of "Flying"..Needdless eventually Sin popped and our group got claim. Not more than 10 secs later all the mebers of Flying begin bringing mobs into our battle.Not to mention everymeber prceeded to stand right on Sin as an attempt to i guess lag us out or possibly make it diffcult for mages to target. Well unfortunately they were succesful. An almost full alliance died due to the actions of Flying. In all of my gaming expiriences I have never witnessed this type of game play.I dont know what else to say except I hope none of you ever have deal with what us 14-15 did. Lastly i would like to give you the names of the people who did us wrong, I hope if you encounter them that you will be aware. I am not one to complain.I just think people should know. Sorry for typos it is late. Thanks for your time....Ezeus

Unfortunately I was unable to attend simurgh tonight but i was on the phone with Aphrini,Moreana,Gorgeous,Shiinobu, and Kaliki. This LS "Flying" was also responsible for the recent MPK attempt on the LS "Whirling Winds" about 3 days ago on serket. They kept pulling weapons and undead to try to kill Maury, exceed, igneous, and lipeza. They were unsuccessful due to my ls throwing ourselves at the mpk mobs to try and minimize the possible damage to WW's pt. This event that took place tonight with simurgh is truly a sad one that reflects only on how dishonorable and selfish this "Flying" LS is. Then after they had the nerve to say things like "Too weak LS" and they were cheering. My LS members started shouting to get the attention of GM's which ofcourse was pointless because they care more about your online etiquitte as far as cursing is concerned than Mpking and gil selling. "Flying" you are truly a pathetic linkshell that needs to learn how to get claims for yourselves. HNMlses of vanadiel please take warning. The names of the LS members were stated above in ezeus' post. May the **** come raining down on you all "Flying", You will get yours!

Last night at 5pm i started camping Mee Degi in Castle Oztroja, after an hour of killing yags in the spawn point Calala shows up and /checks me, he then leaves to the higher level areas. Couple minutes go by and he comes back with a train of about 15-20 yagudo abbots and lutenists. There really is no need for this type of thing. I've wanted a set of kotes since i was level 34 and now at 57 i still haven't been able to get drop because of people like them. Its this type of thing that hurts this game.

Wow, I've never seen such a horrible display of discourtesy even in a game, that's just horrible. MPKing is wrong










Unless your a BST.

Flying should all get a ban, but I am sure that'll never happen :3

The best thing to do when such things happen is just simply GM call immediately. While GM call, use apporiate language and remain calm and patient with the GM. If GM gets there fast enough to witness the harrassment, may be he can do something on site.

Being abusive and rude to GM is bad... Would you go to courtroom and start swearing at the judge if the judge is not favoring you? That actually is a crime (Contempt to Court) and you can go to jail for that. (And yes swearing at a GM and GM can kick you to GM jail too)

I have seen people getting angry for "GM not doing things". If GMs are not doing things then why there were that 500 bans and why was there a change to Valkrum Emperor and Leaping Lizzys? GM has limited power to enforce their power for good reason -- to prevent power abuse and remain fair. Sometimes to do that it will require patience for the result. I am not saying all GMs are good/bad, but they can be handcuffed and there can be pretty reason for that.

PS:

About how to deal with people training linking mobs... I am not sure if this helps, this is what I will say:

First thing if you see that is coming, immediately pull the mob you are fighting away from the train, and do not act on the train. If I have not mistaken, as long as trainer has hate or aggro, the train will not aggro you.

Watch out for water around the area, certain mobs track by smell, and moving across water will cause mobs lose aggro on trainer, and link and attack you. Also do not /heal... That may cause mobs in the train to aggro in unexpected manner.

Damn man that sucks, but there is something you should know....that "LS" is actually gilsellers...formerly of Ordelle's cave. I used to run into Calala, Thin, Sidest, and Renuu in there all the time and they were in there 24/7 aside from when their inventory got full. Now granted they did not or could not MPK me as I was lvl 60+ but that is beside the point. With the changes SE has made to Chyme, Lizzy, and Emp. they have decided to "farm" else where, and unless those accounts were sold to unsuspecting people I can only assume they are the one and the same people/group. It sucks that with the changes SE has made pretty much forced the gilsellers to end game stuff or diffrent NM's to make thier gil but alas SE didnt really solve the problem...they just made it worse.

GMs are pretty responsive to MPKs. If you stay calm and collected as Ama mentioned, they'll be more helpful than you think.

Make sure to put in your reason to call something like, "Player trained many aggressive monsters to me to MPK". They play the game (most of them) so they know the terminology. Just don't start with cussing or outbursts and you'll be fine. They'll investigate and take the appropriate action.

If someone has died from the actions, it is more serious to them. It's like calling the cops on a drunk driver. If you say you saw someone swerving in and out of the lane and they "almost" hit you, they'll "investigate it". If they DID hit you, you'll probably see a cruiser pretty quick. LoL

I am confused, if you are a level that can camp and fight Sim, then you should in no way be threatened by any trains in the area. Serket is a different story but Sim.... Yah, if you catch aggro from a train in Rolanberry I can't see how someone could take on Sim. Just my observation. It is wrong that they even tried but I don't see any immeadiate threat from training some Ochus, Crabs and Bees near a group camping Sim.

Some of the yags on the top floor will still aggro us Dahl. Those are the ones he/she mentioned being trained to that area. Goofy PLD, reading's for elvaans. :-D

He's not referring to the Mee Deggi story, He's talking about Simurgh~ He pops in Rolanberry, and I doubt it's likely for anyone under 50 get get aggroed by a mob there, I also had this thought in mind. They shouldn't have possed a real threat and unless you were using AOE, it shouldn't have effected anyone in your alliance. However, it's really a moot point, in the fact that even the actions of this LS are not to be tolerated. MPKing is for pansies.

They probably died from having a hard time targeting because of people standing on top of the mob and other members. That is what I draw from it.

I have been MPK'd 3 times last week in sky. Gil sellers have made it to sky and will pull weapons to your party for AoE attacks.

Only thing i can think of resolving this & i think i seen it in a real old post about LSes cooperating with 1 another. like lets say LS(a) wants to do sky or camp an HNM than when its time for battle, have another LS(b) that's cool with LS(a) watch out for MPKers and/or links & dispose of them. As for the MPK take care of the danger than report it to GM a.s.a.p. than LS(b) can have their turn at Sky/HNM & LS(a) protects them.

Dunno if it worked with cooperation of LSes in the past but it seems that now that gilsellers are reachin that point it might be time to think about cooperation. just an idea might or might not work but it just might be the only choice left or quit the game & move on.

wow i never wrote a post this long XD

As I said, if someone tries to MPK, you can call GM. For an exp pt, the event usually last long enough for a GM to come to watch.

However, there is one thing, there are no rules say one cannot camp over another PT (there is no "ownership" of camps). However, there are rules against MPK. In a lot of cases, it is not best interest to camp over someone as they reduces the mobs to pull and start a conflict with other existing pt. That is why one do not fight camps. If someone decides to fight camps and use illegal method to take over, it is legitimate to GM call.

It is best to take actions in within the bounds of the rules. Rules are NOT made perfect. It is humans that make the rules, and there are always attempts to bypass rules.

Neither one has the right to change the rules for one's interest, otherwise there is no point of having rules to begin with -- as guidelines of actions and fairness.

I was thinking something along those lines, didn't know it was mentioned, if not a whole LS, a PT set up to help with MPK issues would probably suffice, rate up.

Not trying to be mean or to flame.. but your post seem to be irrelevant; and I actually find it confusing to what your real point is, I am sure we all know the ToS Agreement Rules by now, and we know what GMs advocate and what they do not, but repeating the rules to us and telling us to GM is something everyone already knows to do. Sorry.

My point is -- people take rules to their hands, and believe rules has to side with him or the rules are rubbish. And that is why I say that. I personally dislike drama but do a little research of the recent thread on Killvoid Cerberus forum, you will know what I mean. There is a recent MPK thread in Sky and a player got GM jailed for cursing at GM for GM not siding with him (hard to get GM to side with you when you say f**k or attack the GM as useless in every sentence).

I have called a GM and was calm and collected and GUESS WHAT...... They did NOTHING. Just said if it happens again let them know. what BS. SE has told them not to enforce things because SE still get paid from the gilseller accounts.

I'm sick of the GilSeller Crap and there is an LS on the server that helped them get sky because they needed some HL help to do gods so they invited GilSellers got them sky and now they are taking over the one area where we thought we could all play nice together ><

I was there as Dez mentioned. It wasn't so much an MPK as Sim as an attempt and success at foiling our game play. The mobs and their crowding brought HUGE lag into the game.

As a WHM I found it very difficult to target people who were not in my party. Also you would see the tank (75 PLD) go from full health down to 50% very quickly (because of the lag) then again when it refreshed, it would go down to 90 HP!!!! We didn't have the information to react quickly enough to heal him in time. Also when I experience lag, even if the person in my party, I found it hard to fire off my cures. Normally when I cure, I hit the cure macro, which has <stpc>, I hit one of the F2 to select the player in my party and enter and off it goes. But with the lag, I also found that when I after I hit my cure macro, select the player and press enter, the cure macro didn't actually activate and I get the menu that one gets when they hit enter when a player is selected or clicked on a player. This really did not help the situation.

I tried my best to keep my group calm regarding the GM, but sometimes it's hard to control raging tempers after you've been camping for 3 hours for the damn monster to only have this **** happen to you. I don't really blame the people I was with for being very very fustrated. I was told by one of our members who was talking to the GM that some of the people will get suspended; however, I would have appreciated that if he had addressed that to the entire group so they know something was being done.

Someone once told me the Gilsellers are somewhat linked to SE as far as they are business associates. I now to believe this because the GM did exactly what they are good for. NOTHING. he said he will look into it yet even though we had proof i.e. Pictures and even a ss of a log saying "MPK you tooweak ls Tomorrow^^" and they said they will investigate into this further.. i will say this once WTF SE! i mean the same **** happened to WW in garliage two days ago and u did nothing and because u just sat there on your asses it happened again. It's sad but the players ourselves may have to stand up against these mpking asses because doesnt look like SE is going to do **** about it. Even one of the people in our ls who was perfectly calm and spoke all proper to GM no cursing claimed the GM would have them banned but hey i logged on /sea all domegril and company. and hey they are still here!!!!! big f**king suprise GMs.

"Call a GM and they will handle it."

Well as you can imagine.. 15 dead bodies laying there in Rolanberry, that was the first thing all of us did as soon as we were raised. And more importantly, not only did the GM's do nothing...

GM Wit-something started threatening to throw OUR linkshell in jail for "harrassing GM's".

Not only was i mortified with the actions that the FlyingLS had made.. but that someone who was supposed to make sure the rules of the game are followed.. would do and say something as extreme as that to someone who was completely innocent of doing anything wrong.

I literraly was so close to quitting last night because of that.

Last night Was ******* I wasn't even here but i was on the phone like i previously posted. i saw pics and read the logs. And ofcourse tonight garliage citadel. Dark nemesis got claim and ******* Flying tried to mpk them. Our ls took all the mobs and 87% of us died due to the 3 enormous waves but you know what, We didn't stand and let DN die so we could claim serket, no **** that ****... this is ******* personal now Flying. We will do whatever it takes to make sure you do not get claim, except MPK because we will not stoop to your ******* level. You got sim tonight because half of our members were logging and or tired, but stopping you from getting 2/3 is good enough for me :D. we called a gm and they seemed pretty responsive so lets see how much the GM can do. Otherwise it seems like this war will continue and we will have to do all in our power to stop the gil seller/mpk ls we call Flying, so that ppl can hunt hnms in peace again.
