Right now there is no way to stop people from KSing, other than PKing them (an unviable option). Sometimes it is not even on purpose that someone KSes you.
There ought to be an indication that the monster is already engaged by another player. Maybe a dialogue box that says "are sure you want to attack this monster? Someone else is already attacking it" or something that floats above the monsters head like an icon that represents that the monster is in combat.

    Yea ksing isnt very kool, in 2moons there was a thing that if some1 else was attking a mob and u trying to hit it shows below the monsters name that "This Monster is alreay occupied/assigned to another player and you wont get exp from it". But im not sure if they will do it here tho.

    Don't like KSers? play a pvp server and speed your way to 30.

    Deal half the damage to the mob and the kill goes to you.

    this would be very cool indeed! to be honest in all MMO ive played it KSing was the bigges "hatefactor" and the main tool of grifing. dont know here but mostly wizards was the biggest KSers as they just overkill a whole mob. if something like the 2moons have would be implemented here.... then "wow" i'll make an altar just for you :)

    there is ONLY a PvP server up...

    Also, what if the KSing is on accident? Your solution is pitiful in dealing with accidental cases.

    the best way to fix this is to assign exclusivity to the person who agroed the mob FIRST. weather it was by proximity or attacking it normally. if a person initiates combat in that way, then no other player can attack it period. this would also mean mob name color would change to show that it has been "claimed" FF11 has the best system for this.


    there would be no KSing if players could not attack mobs already claimed in the first place.

    Actually our resident pkers have the idea. KSing happens like this to PROMOTE pk. The devs WANT you to pk. This makes you buy more from the cash shop.
