I was in the dunes earlier with Tenkax and Eormanric and we watched two RMT running up to the leeches by the outpost, voking them, dying immediately, then hping back to the outpost then once again running up to the leeches, voking and dying. They did this over and over until Eor killed the leeches to interrupt their um...fun.

Anyone have an idea as to why a couple of RMT would apparently attempt to delevel in the dunes? It was so weird and my curiosity is piqued. o.O

they're shamed when they level up, so they do this to cleanse themselves.
 
It was pretty stupid, all i could think of was maybe they were trying to ruin kero and tenk's exp while i was pl'ing them for a bit. Not really sure else what it could be besides pure stupidity. =/
 
Either way, thats really funny.
 
they are Dying in an area to make sure that the items form that area are not available on conquest and are going to sell said items after the conquest update.

If there's something from the Zulkheim Region that's valuable, it will be price jacked as of 8am.

What Items come from region venders in Zulkheim?

Either that or they are trying to make sure that there's enough death to make it so there's no "Bundler" and jack up Shihei prices again...
 
Except...Bastok still has the most influence on Zulkheim, I don't think I've ever seen that region be controlled by beastmen.
 
Did you note which country they were from? Perhaps since RMT have set much of their shihei and arrow stacking business in Windurst now, they were trying to lower San do'ria's influence overall allowing Windurst the victory? Can't be sure, but man that is weird...
 
I saw this while I was partying in the Jungles a few weeks ago, I called a GM and they said it wasn't against the rules for them to do it, but I didn't even consider them doing it to monopolize items or anything, I thought they were just being stupid.
 
ingenious in itself what will the RMT come up with next? Will they start weather hacking to get clusters and crystals? Or CP hacking to obtain the high priced items to sell for big bucks

Nothig is beneathe these guys.
 
Well, here's hoping they aren't smart enough to attempt to do any of what's been suggested and it was just a bad script. Either way, it was very odd.

Except actually causing a specific weather to pop up would get them in deep crap extremely fast since that's blatantly altering server-side data. That'd be like if they made Fafnir spawn 8h before his windows even up. =P

Dying or spamming items to CP guards isn't exactly new...it's sortof what people have typically done to gain control of other newbie regions (i.e. Bastok getting Saruta). There's a chance this is to stop the Shihei bundler as already guessed, but beyond that I honestly don't know. Maybe they're normally XP bots but someone managed to get them deleveled to the point where they couldn't kill the leeches anymore?
 
Another possibility is that they're deleveling to level 5 because it's easier to farm beastman seals in the starter areas. It would be much quicker to die in Valkurm Dunes than Ronfaure.
 
Just saw another group of 3 doing the same thing while farming Dhalmels in Buburumu Penn. Only to Leeches though for some reason. They'd start from Mhura and run all the way over to the beach, die to a Leech, and do it again, bypassing every Goblin, Crawler, Dhalmel, Zu, and Mandy in the zone just to get to the Leeches. Fucking weird.
 
do you have to lose xp for this to work? i've got one freaking outpost i've yet to achieve and if i could spam death as a lvl 1 i'd soooo do it just to get the outpost lol.
