Yesterday we went to Dark Omens for an Ally party and found a descent room to xp. After a while some of our known friends who protect other lifeless friends brought us the whole catacomb mobs towards us so that we leave the room.
After 4-5 attempts that they made I tried to backstab the TH just for a declaration that we are not kidding and we will keep the room. And then the drama started...
I one shot him. After 2 mins we got a massive attack from apparently alive dudes who took their positions into the bodies of the lifeless (nice mobs btw ;)) and I ended up with 6PKs. I only then realised that when you are red and ppl attack you they dont flag.
Anyway they kept coming and coming we killed them 100 times and they kept going. After 4-5 disconnects they managed to drop me dead and some of my party mates. One dropped an item also. I tried to wash out the karma using sin eater wasting 1 hour of my time to get him up and running and I am half way losing my PKs. Luckily I had 0 Pks till yesterday. Then the guys went to one of the strongest ally on the server and harassed them too training them and flagging on them. It has been 1-2 hours killing and guess who won the rooms???? It obvious that the pilots of the lifeless corpses did :)
Moral: Soon "they" will be playing alone on the servers unless drop on death is restored for all.... Griefing has stopped in Teon, its the "LIfeless" Era now. "They" attack everyone and shout room taken no matter how strong you are, nor how strong is your party. They will "magically" regain their XP after 20-30 non-stop hours and they will have all the SP to complete their skillsets.
P.S. Finally a HE 76++++ came and dropped us.
You're right, enough of that and the game will end up dead. I've said before and I'll say it again - I don't pay a monthly fee to NOT be able to play the game, and I'm sure this holds for many other people.
With no drops on death now they have nothing to fear bar the adena buying scrolls (which they have more than anough of anyway.
Now they're more vigilant than ever to keep rooms. you go red, they pk you. You train them, they come back. You gank their mobs, they simply carry on hunting........
Yes I know what you mean, one mate lost a maj ear +3 yesterday cause of these **** walking corpses. I think drops on death should return so that no S grade swords and Dragonic Armors appear out of the blue from the lifeless scout watchers :))) If they are not fast enough they will lose items and while trying to kill live players they will still have a big chance of losing their items. And I know they are not precious to them, but for many players a B/A/S full drops is a blessing.
Yeah, I'm getting pretty sick of the god-**** bot's and their real-life protectors. On a number of occasions me and my clannies have had to defend our rooms (and ourselves from being PK'd) from these assoles.
I honestly don't see the point of the petition system when there's no one but an automated message on the other end which just files any complains under 'ignore'.
Couple nights ago me and a friend Pk'd a party of 6 bots in Apostate. They didn't have an enforcer though :). They tried to come back, but we were killing the room so fast they could do nothing to take it back without going red themselves.
