I am from the LC server so if you can identify with this issue on other pvp servers, please, participate in the poll. (especially LC users)

Hey everyone

So again, i propose something be done about "drop-stealing". bluenames cant pvp but they pick up drops from pvp? why should they reap the benefits of pvp if they do not partake? many have made a business out of this. so should we stop pvp on our pvp server?whilst most do not pvp for drops, you ought to be entitled to them when they do fall since you used your own resources to cause them to fall i think. that only seems fair.
Again i'd like to suggest that something be done. i just thought of this whilst writing: 1)bluenames may only recover drops from monsters or trade, but not from white/red named players. so atleast we can aoe and kill the ppl who might steal our drops.
2) an iteration of my initial suggestion: put some sort of timer such that the person responsible for the killing has about a limited time in which they must retrieve their loot, and after this time, then it should be up for grabs
It's just super annoying to see a good drop fall and have a bluename get it after you used so many resources to kill the person that dropped it, and to address those who think we should pk in other areas, well the fact of the matter is, we dont; we pk where we do because it's most convenient, and just as the laws of the real world have evolved to cope with the times, so should these....

please participate in the poll :) ty!!!!

    Believe it or not, it's been brought up before. Surprising isn't it? Something as simple as this doesn't get fixed.

    Um frankly there is a system in place for this they can't touch your drops for as long as they would a mobs drops it will say this item belongs to another person. If you are taking long enough to pick those up well I say nothing can be done *******s are *******s

    im aware that it has been brought up before, atleast that's the word of mouth. i figured if the issue keeps getting posted maybe one day they might hear our cries...glad to see it's not only on my server. gives it more validity.

    For mobs, yes.

    For players, the instant something drops it's free for all regardless of who killed them. Why do you think there's an army of blue names crowding PK hotspots to try and camp drops on PvP servers?

    You must be new around here..First off when the game started.You used to have to own a grind spot and that would cause world pvp.The devs ruined that by creating frost a lvling service.So go blame the chineez dev's that dont speak any engrish.

    b:surrender I just woke up from a nap, my mind isnt on.

    But yea option 2 sounds fun, but the coding for it would be a little outrageous, and tbh I can live w/o the (rare) drops, and I'd rather have the devs time spent fixing other bigger issues....but these things won't happen any time soon now will they? I mean look at all the other things still messed up in the game.

    Don't pvp/pk without guardian scrolls

    You clearly don't know how Guardian Scrolls work then. If kept in your bag, you don't drop anything if you are killed during pvp/pk. I understood the issue perfectly, thank you. No need to re-read.

    Equally, if you don't want to lose stuff by dropping it when you're killed, don't pvp/pk at all. If you know the risks, don't bleat when it happens.

    Yes, and if Guardian Scrolls are in bag, no drops will fall therefore no drops for blue names to steal. Jeez, how hard is this to understand?

    Actually, I resent the implication. I never steal drops. I have a friend who is a 91 cleric and who regularly PKs. Because he is a cleric, he tends to get killed a lot but because he has scrolls in his bag, he doesn't drop anything. What's not to understand?

    Incidentally, I do agree that drop stealers should be harshly dealt with.

    I'm done now. I really can't be arsed to keep on explaining to people who clearly do not want to understand my point.

    Just imagine you kill someone and they drop (r3tard didnt have SL / scrolls).

    Some nab**** picks up what they dropped, despite YOU being the one who killed them.

    Thats the issue here.

    I'd like to point out that thanks to our wonderful devs, even if GAs are carried, you have a chance of dropping the GAs themselves if they're all in the same stack and you're unlucky enough to have them all drop. If that happens, anything else that you'd drop will drop too.

    I do get that and I am neither a "troll" nor a "dumbass", and have given my opinion thereto. I do, however, have the intelligence and maturity not to resort to name-calling.

    Thank you, truekossy, for your clarification. I'm not pathetic enough not to admit when I am mistaken. I was given to understand that GAs protected you full stop and indeed have never seen my cleric friend drop anything when he was killed. He must have been very lucky thus far not to drop the GAs themselves as I didn't realise that they could be, thereby negating protection.
