Hmmm that Mikeman is quite the guy i hear..
Anyway i was camping in Monastic Cavern for Overlord Baghodek and guess who was there? Yes mikeman. well me and my ls came over to kill it and we were killing mobs around the area which was a big mistake. Mikeman stood next to that platform and it popped. We were fighting mobs so no chance of us claiming but the thing that bothers me is that he held it while nobody of his ls was around. It's not like he stood a chance against him so he kites it then he realises nobody of ls comming then he starts doing /tells like "pay me and you get claim".. and "hey i claimed it that's impressive i deserve something". so i did in /tell keep on kiting lol (i knew he would die pretty soon since repops came) so yeah he dies rather fast and we claim. So the idea i get here is that he claimed so that he could get some profit from us?

Maybe Mike shoulda kept a good rep and got in a group worth a shit...

I would agree with this.

Ding. You're circumventing Game mechanics in order to get around a mechanic set in place to prevent stalling. Both GMs that showed up talked to them about stalling, and told them to stop. The first GM just left too soon and they started again. My GM (the second) Simply unclaimed it from Mikeman and everyone killed the crab.

First that was a generous GM, wish more GM was like this. Secondly the reason this would not be, because you have equal opportunity to claim the other crabs.

Think one the biggest problems this game has is the GMs lack of power. You will find some GMs that are righteous like the one you got, but alot wont stick there necks out to correct a problem. Also another thing is the Gms and the techs have no real contact. Thou s you get nothing accomplish to fix loop holes in the systems.

correction: I would agree with this with some aspect. By meaning if his ls wont come to help him claim when window opens, then there is something wrong. As for rep, well guess that in the eye of the beholder. From what I've seen he like BDS.

There's 10 crabs that respawn, and he only needs to grab one. You do the math. Its an exploit of game mechanics, and the GM will intervene in such cases. Probably not official warnings and such, but by ending the stall, or other similar actions.

nother question what would happen if you let the one crab he had claim before keep hitting him? If he claims new one old one should still attack him and rage after certain time, correct? He can't claim both so if he attacked old one you could grab the new one. Course this would only work if he is by himself.

 

[Myrrh]

Or he just switches to the new crap and forgets about the old one. Since he's not attacking it, claim is lost and everyone there will attack it. Claim would only jump around if he tried to attack both at once. Which he wouldn't do if he was holding, cause that'd be moronic. It wouldn't matter if he was by himself or not either. The same thing would happen.

When I was there he was with Lichna, so it was a non-issue. Not sure what he does if he's solo. If it was me I'd just beat it down to almost dead and then kill it with Dread Spikes or somthing similar after i claimed the new one.
