Just a simple question here. Why does everyone have such a huge problem with mpk's? It's not that big of a deal really. Wow he killed us and were going to lose xp. Lemme go slit my wrists. MPK'ing during a god fight or hnm fight isnt cool however...but still. To me mpk'ing someone's xp pt is pretty much just like punching your college roomy in the arm. No harm done really.
 
Well, to me, besides the obvious, "People shouldn't attempt to ruin other people's fun. It's a game and everyone should be able to enjoy it." excuse, I think the main reason I don't like MPKs is because it very rarely only affects the people it was targeted at.

Often times, when someone is MPKing, it is directed at a few people in particular, but whole groups and others not intended to be killed end up dead. It is like the difference between a handgun and a grenade.

Of course, the reference to it being like a punch in the arm would lead me to believe that when you get punched by your room mate, you feel it for the next hour, since that is usually how long it takes to recover from MPK situations. :?

I dunno, the obvious problem with it is that I have been lead to believe it is against the TOS. GMs can take you to jail for it, so obviously it is not meant to be done. People have a problem with other people breaking rules that they themselves have been told not to break.
 
If you want to kill another player for fun.




Go play World of Warcraft, or Guild Wars. This is a game built around PvE. If you don't like that fact, then you chose the wrong game.




That is why you shouldn't MPK. If SE wanted to build a game like that, you could just PK.

I can bet a lot of money that after spending the time and effort to build a party...Get to camp...And begin EXP'ing...If I were to drag a train of mobs that wiped your party out and forced you all to homepoint or leave the area...You would change your tune.

I often eat 20k, 4 hour foods while xping, when i die, i have to eat another one. In addition to food costs, which could go up to 100k for a full party, depending on what everybody likes to eat, theres also the time lost. When you mpk, the death takes time, the raises take time, weakness take time, and then getting geared up to fight again takes time. Also, after you've jus wasted 20 min of 6 peoples time, the ones who died also have to get back all the xp they just lost, which usually takes half an hour.

If I wanted to waste a hour of my life because of an Asshole, I'd stop hanging up on telemarketers. If you're gonna play a game with adults, try not to act like a little punk.

Oh, and there is harm to punching your college roomie in the arm, when he gets fed up with you being a dickhole and superglues your nutsac to your forhead one night when you pass out drunk or high or tired from studying. Just something to think about next time you go around hitting people. :wink:

Meh.


Fuck you, xena.
Dumbass.


This is like asking the general QCDN population what's the problem with eating your own feces. I mean it's not cool when you have guests over, but if it's just you and your best friend, why not endulge? Why can't all of you just get over it. Sheesh. :roll:

Don't think this topic need to be in flameboard, since we only disucssing about MPK, but if people want to change the topic into flameboard related issue, then I guess admin/mod have no choice but to move this topic.


In my opinion, someone mpk someone is just useless

I remember deathchild attempting to mpk us when we fighting Char (For one of those Joy weapon), he pull like some of those mob, those mean fishie :P, and we never got aggroed from them, Deathchild just waste his own couple hundred of exp just to getting himself kill like 3 time

People isn't dumb, if they see mpk coming, they will try to avoid it or move away.

On the other hand, I would love to see Gilseller Mpking Gilseller, cuz we don't really care lol
 
Its frustrating when you die and its no fault of your own. Its worse when someone intentionally kills you. You may just think its only a few hundred experience or even a couple of thousand experience, but thats anywhere from 30 mins to an hour partying. Don't forget it can take up to an hour or more just to get a party. Then there is the down time with being raised, recasting buffs, waiting for weakness to wear and losing food/medicines. A party is almost never the same after its been MPKed, they are all confused/frustrated and don't perform as well after. How would you like it if your boss suddenly walks up to you and says he's not paying you for the last hour?

Then there is the emotional aspect of it. This game is meant to be played in groups and we are supposed to help each other out and compete civilly. When someone MPKs you, they are intentionally doing something to hurt you and make you feel bad. They are intentionally trying to make you feel worse so they can feel better about themselves.
 
Nice, 45 Drg. You haven't even seen the half of what MPKing is in this game. Maybe some day you will get a bunch of your friends together and go try to kill some big game, like Serket or Bune or something. Then you can 2h 45m camping just to get his ToD. You come back, wait another 2 hours, he pops and you manage to get the claim among the massive amount of gilsellers. Things are going good, he's at 5% or so, low and behold there's about 9 Fallen Mages, a couple Vault Weapons and even for the fun of it let's say a Tainted Flesh bound all around Serket. Your party starts going down, 20+ GSs are spamming Voke on it and you lose the claim and still die to the adds. They get a Vclaw and a Ring from Serket. Out of money and out of luck you go back to Jeuno and bitch about all the price jacking.

Yeah, if you aren't flaming up a storm in LS chat, you definetly need to find a better way to spend around 5 hours of your time, because if I spent 5 hours waiting around only to be killed so some seller can have a sandwich, I'm gonna be fucking pissed off.

And look at what Cythe said, it's all happened to us, the most you've ever had to deal with was maybe Quicksand Cave mpks. Try dragging everyone through the Yhoator Jungle only to get a trained of Bullbeggers in DoR. Or maybe dragging 5 other people to Dragon's Aery just to have a mountain of Spiders+Demonic Rose zoned. Or perhaps to Moon where you get killed by some dipshit who didn't know what they were doing, uh oh you're all dead except for the Thief(~.^), only one of you has a Moonpass and the idiots party doesn't want to raise you because you'd be giving them competition for mobs.

Lovely shit isn't it!

What Acute said is all fact :P

Wanna spend 3-6 hours camping some HNM, got claimed then got mpked by some @$$hole. and lost your mob, is like you working so hard for that person just for him to get pay, and you get none aftermath, and like got fired from a job (ingame will be like losting exp)

Let see how you fell :P
 
Lemme know next time your xping. I'll bring all my cute little monster friends and give you a hands on experience as to why its annoying and such a big deal :D
 
Must... not... post... anything useful...

I think you can't really complain about MPKing until it's happened to you. Christ, I'm lv70 and I haven't been seriously MPK'd. When you get closer to endgame and feel what it's like firsthand, your views will probably change. It's just generic aggravation and GMs are allowed to jail you for it since it is considered a form of harassment.
