Hi Guys,
I don't understand what the problem is. First let me introduce myself : Evilya Leader of Misfit5.
My guys just wanted :
1 = have fun
2 = make picture for competition

They knew (by killing this worldboss with the faction before) that you can not die from it...its aoe takes 50% and imidiately heales you too.

The boss does not heal you. Your charm is triggered.

Shad and Pvm meant no harm and as far as i can tell and know, no harm was done . So what's the problem ?

Your right nobody died. the purpose was to post this and find out if luring bosses near cities is bannable, your member said they cannot be banned because they are warning people to stay back and not attack it and such in normal chat. This was posted to ask about any rules regarding this. I believe the answer is yes if reported. I did not report anyone and I have no intention of doing so.

The issue for me is that I logged into the game, My hp dropped I was unable to move and I thought I was going to die. My charm was triggered without my intention to be near or provoke the boss. I was not in fact in any danger at all, I did not know that at the time. I did not know the bosses aoe was not going to kill anyone. I have never fought a worldboss, I am not in a faction I solo the game. I could not have known that. I also think it's important to respect all players and their resources regardless if harm was intentional or unintentional. Yes warnings were provided for those in the area a warning I did not receive when I logged in. So my charm was triggered once and I had a nice scare. It's not a big deal now that I know the rule about this and what this boss does.

As someone said in discution: if its against pwi rules to lure a worldboss to a town, then why is it possible to do so ? They would have made sure you couldnt ...

Anyway: Shad and Pvm...you're misfits alright lol. Good fun guy

If a person wanted too, they could repeatedly whisper someone and harass them, call them names for kill stealing or some other thing. Harassment is against the rules and yet it is allowed to happen. A software engineer would not be required to insert collision map boundaries for world bosses to be contained in a specific area dis-allowing them to move to chase a party and kill it's members or to prevent the monster from being lured near or into a city. As stated, The boss would be allowed to kill the last party member and it's solely tied to player integrity as to whether or not a boss is lured into a city the same as player integrity is the only line between what good or bad is done in the game, either things done or said to people.


In summation I think I have my answer. If someone lures a worldboss near a city they individuals involved can be banned if reported, it does not matter what harm was or was not done to other players. It's not something people should be doing.

This thread was created to answer this question. I have my answer. I said before I have no intention of getting anyone banned although it was a frustrating experience that I did not want to participate in. (Before the recording was made.)

In my own opinion only, If players do this it should be posted in world chat as a warning to minimize the possibility other players are caught off guard. What I mean is; What boss is being lured to what location, and it's current location and the effects of it's aoe and the purpose for luring the boss. That is my opinion only.

The question was: Can users get banned for luring world bosses near cities?

The answer was stated people can get banned for luring bosses near cities if reported with sufficient evidence. The purpose of the thread has been fulfilled.


To anyone who intends to post more, I apologize, I won't be watching the thread at this point, my question was answered earlier. Thank you.

Regards

i completely and wholeheartedly agree with this ^

one time i myself (on another character mind you) was banned for "luring" suzerix to sumor camp, when in fact i was trying to run away

here's the thing i find to be the worst part: the ability to "pull" world bosses to towns has been in the game forever, yet doing so is "against the rules"... show me what rule is being broken here?

also, someone said you "go to SAFEZONE to afk and be safe" or something along those lines. here's the funny part: safezone = safe from PK, not from mobs. you want to be safe from mobs? then logout, it's not hard to do

someone said it'd be hard to re-code the world bosses to not be able to go to town... how hard can it be? just change the object data relevant to the world boss, problem solved


personally, i vote that we stop this nonsensical banning for this behavior, as the (pathetic) excuse of "it interferes with other's play" is (honestly) just a cop-out. i know if i got killed by a world boss lured to town, it wouldn't "interfere with" my gameplay, in fact, i'd cheer them on, lurers AND defenders

hell, if it wasn't for the fact that i'd get banned, i'd get a bunch of people together and start luring world bosses/minibosses/etc to archo and make an event out of it (like the "Invasion of Archosaur" event we had so long ago)

in summary: its a game, treat it as such. stop being so serious about it b:surrender

Hello, I think there is a vivid distinction between luring a boss with dangerous intentions and harmless intentions. Running for your life is not the same as luring. I believe the reason for making it against the rules is relates to the fact that towns, even arch are populated with players who cannot withstand direct hits from bosses. They would be killed instantly and lose exp and of course their charms. It should be against the rules to lag players intentionally and get them killed by a boss who they had no intention of being near at all. Maybe the victim is doing their first crazystone. The purpose for rules in the game exist for the same reason laws exist in the real world. To establish a minimum standard of conduct for which a civilized culture can operate. I would not play the game if high level players ran world bosses through arch and got me killed while viewing the auction house. It should be against the rules.

What I can say for the Misfit5, is that once again, They had no intention of killing anyone or harming them. They wanted to take a screenshot for the monthly contest. It's certainly not the same as luring for a bad intention. They did not even lure a boss with a "Kill" aoe.

Nobody hid in the safezone including me. Nobody said it would be hard to program boundaries for worldbosses. But it makes no sense to prevent a worldboss from moving and killing an attacking wave of squads. this also makes it possible to reset the monsters hp and position. It's just a bad idea. The issue also is that there are a lot of worldbosses, There is no reason for PWI to have software engineers change the code for each individual boss, That would be a large waste of resources. There are more important things to focus on. Its not necessary because people should not be doing it in the first place really, and the Soul Hunter is probably the best boss for doing something like this.
