    While this is true I can't think of any situation where you should be able to expel a blue name not in your squad. One way or another that case should be eliminated.
    You're grinding outdoors on your cleric unsquadded and spot someone about to die to a mob before you'd be able to toss a heal on them. You toss Expel on them to buy yourself time to heal them.

    Granted, it's rare enough that I'd be willing to give up the skill being useful in that case in order to prevent some of the other abuses we're seeing. But the scenario does exist. There's another scenario I can think of but won't describe since I could see it being heavily abused in certain PvE cases.

    ok guys listen to me. maybe u know it already. now its time to make some changes I hope.
    Some ppl are able to rob ur worldboss by using a genie skill called expell. That skills makes all players (except ppl who are in pk or duelling I guess) immobilized for a short time. Thats enough that clerics cant heal the tank, so that this one dies. Thats how my fac failed at a worldboss. Problem is, u never know that is happening, so u cant proof by making a vid that the one who uses such dirty tricks did it really. GM's, pls remove that skill from pwi.
    thats so unfair, ppl get mentaly destroyed when they fail even if they did great efforts....
    hoping that I get an answer soon, and other ppl who had same experience as me shall share it here with us by posting it here.
    Sorry for my bad english, but I guess its understandable.
    1) Dont do WBs if you dont have a tank that cant stay alive for a few short seconds without cleric heal.

    2) Dont do WB if your so short on healers that a few seconds of no healing will destroy the whole run.

    -The person who cast expel did do something that was MORALLY wrong.
    -Please dont QQ when your group is weak enough to die with only 1 single expel
    -If theres multiple pple casting expel repeatedly, screenshot and send to ticket

    Force of will can't cancel BB if the cleric is blue named, this can.

    I think it's becuase blue-named wizards can't cast Force of Will on blue-named cleric's BBing for a boss...... (unless the cleric accepts a duel but at that point they're fail)

    point taken... but on pvp server this is not the case... and having different skills for pvp and pve servers would be lame.

    Also yes I think everyone using the TT99 la/ha -int exploit should be banned too. And have all gear made to be class specific.

    Class specific gear isn't always a bad thing. b:cute

    -int is hella broken though.
    Bladestorm lets you spin around like a carnival ride and do damage. Not using it is almost like having a move called Confetti Rocket Power Leap and saving it for "emergencies"

    What the other skills are doing it doesnt matter me cuz I havent had any problems with them until now. If some other skills are disturbing u, post in on another tread, we re talking here about expell. and 2nd, WoF is only castable on white named ppl, and expell is a skill that u can cast on blue named ppl.
    and again: not the effects are annoying me, but the fact of u can cast expel on blue named ppl

    It's not an exploit.

    Sure, no more heavy venos, no pdef ornaments for arcane users, no elemental ornaments for heavies, only evasion adorns for LA users... Mages and clerics would be so easy to kill without pdef ornaments. Yeah, this might be something interesting you've stumbled into.

    1st: I m not QQing, I m just saying that resetting a wb by that way is ridiculous and not fair
    2nd: We re making experiments to see if we can tank wbs with the ppl we have
    3rd: We mabye use more clerics then other ppl usually to heal the tank, but one guy is enough to expell every second many clerics when u guess that the skill is maxed, only chance is that tank realizes it fast
    4th: its hard to take a screenshot when one is abusing expel, so u realized it just when ur dead, and then its too late to have a proof
    5th: we could make a video every time when we re hunting a wb, but I dont know if it would help us, I still dont know if thats bannable or not, thats why I opened this treat with the hope that gm's will change the target or that they let me know if its bannable.

    LA users would start to QQ then when they can't dodge magic missiles even with the evasion from their LA ornament and HA users would QQ when every magic missile hits like a rocket...b:pleasedb:pleased

    And Michael_dark I have seen channel-based builds that does not compromise that much on p def. If you remember, there is 2-3 p def buffs and only 1 magic def buff b:chuckle
    And no evasion buff lol

    What i get here is . . -_- . . people actually approve usage of expel to ruin other people work ?
    It's not like i am even planning to do WB after seeing all of these, even those who participate on event also become victim of expel.
    These way PVP server seem more fair . .

    If you want new people coming into the thread to quit ragging on your mentally destroyed comment - EDIT your post! Kind of hard to take any post (or poster) seriously with a line like that in it.

    As to something on the theme: Reality check: It's human nature. If something can be used - it can and will be abused by certain people lacking morals, a sense of fair play, social skills and/or common sense. No one's day should be ruined because of the predictable actions of a few warped people in a largely unmonitored game.

    All these walls of text and QQ vs PewPew aside, the only thing you can really do is submit a ticket and hope it goes to someone with enough undamaged brain cells that cares enough to do something. (good luck with that, btw) If it's a mistake or an oversight, it might get fixed. If not, then you may or may not receive an answer telling you why it wasn't fixed.


    In the mean time, REMEMBER: IT'S ONLY A GAME!


    Now get out there and win one for the Gipper.

    If ya had read my other comments what u surely didnt do cuz I know its annoying to read through the wholy tread, I said it can be changed anymore cuz I ve already chosen this avatar. if u read the comments by fcplopes, u see that there was no avatar. so I cant change it anymore (a lil bit complicated to explain). 2nd, I cant write to the support without a proof that the skill is being abused, I guess they would laugh at me xD
    and 3rd u dont have to repeat it again with the "mentally destroyed" :o many ppl said already that its superfluous, and I said I went to far with that, but now pls dont come with it again seriously xD
    And I know its only a game, but just becauses its a game that it pisses many ppl off when smth happens to them they dont like
    Dont tell me u wouldnt be angry if suddenly all ur goods would disappear from ur inventory :P
    well this is not a good example to compare it with the skill abuse, but u guess what I mean with it.

    I'd be pissed off like a **** if all my stuff was gone, especially since I do not give my info out to others, do not use 3rd party programs to "enhance" my game play and I do not buy gold/zhen/whatever from anywhere but pwi. Pissed off, but not gonna ruin my entire life because it happened. We deal with unfair stuff all the time in game and in life. A possibly? "broken" skill is the least of my worries. Either they will "fix" it or they won't. Submit a ticket and get on with your life. b:bye

    I agree with u :)
    but like u pwi is not my life, its just smth that I like to do
    and I dont spend zen too in the game
    maybe I will one day, but not for now
    but whats making u all thinking that pwi seems to take an important part in my life is the fact that I give value to fairplay ;) even that not everything is fair in pwi. I fight at least against it, and thats another I opened this tread b:victory

    So you'd able to laugh it off if one day you logged in to a game and everything you'd worked to attain...be it levels, pixelated material goods, or even whole characters/accounts...was simply gone without a trace?

    I agree mourning over the loss of pixels themselves is kinda silly, but getting upset over the time and effort lost is understandable. =/
