I heard rumors that luring boss to the city is bannable. I want clear answer is that really bannable or not. I never seen any warning in game about this. nor in forums. and if its bannable then why? and why bosses are lurable in first place if its not allowed? why they can enter to safe zone?

    Luring a boss into the city falls under grieving as it can get players killed without them being willingly involved in killing the boss. It can annoy a lot of players, and can cause some to lose EXP and time. As far as I know, it is something that if reported, will definitely be investigated and the player involved might get banned.

    Why are they lurable? They got agro on someone and are hunting their meal.
    Why in safe zone? Safe zone refer to danger from pvp, not pve. And only the majors citys got invisible wall preventing entry of mob/boss and pet.

    Yes. It is bannable. I've known several people who have gotten banned (though it obviously has to be seriously reported with screenshot by a witnessing player).

    And what Havilah said is true.
    A boss of that type typically will not reset aggro after a certain distance is achieved, like mobs will.
    And Safe Zone is to lock out PvP.

    Especially, if they're caught "luring and dragging" a boss into areas like (Anglers Village) Multiple times~All in a short time frame, like (5 times and hour, or so) the GMs~will happily ToAsT Anyone, who they hear about doing that.....

    But I don't think the GMs would ban a low level, for accidentally dragging one of them, like Krixxis into Orchid Temple if the player was simply running for their lives in an actual real Panic....

    I guess it would have too do with whether you premeditatively did what ya did or if you were just trying too seriously get away from the boss.....

    Its still funny to know though, about how many peaple still don't know about just hitting the air when ya got an aerogear and just going as high as they can, too make the bosses loose lock on them....

    I've seen a barb player do the same thing, and they perma banned him so bad, he had too make a new account to come back on......b:thanks

    And Btw: I've never seen anyone be able to lure a boss into Archosaur pass the gates, and I've actually seen a bunch of TOOLs try it...

    fact is, I think its only possible for a boss too be inside of Archosaur, only if the Devs write code for it too actually be in there for an event or something, that they themselves, actually want a boss inside of Archosaur for.... So atleast Archos safe....

    by saying this you said nothing. if that is normal game feature, then how come its bannable. and if this is mistake, which supose not to happen, then why dont bosses reset before they enter to the city? game mechanics allow something that GMs dont (hmm.. where did I hear it before..)? but they are GMs, they (suposed to) control game mechanics.. well sorry, I just not used to such a nonesence in mmo..

    It's bannable since the bosses were not supposed to be lured in the first place. However the Devs never placed a horizontal shut off, which they did for all normal mobs. The only way to lose aggro of a ground based boss is to fly and stay out if it's hit range. If it has some magic attacks, then fly higher. If you have a flying boss (Jewel) then drop from the sky and try to get away from it's hitbox again.

    The thing with most boss luring is it's usually on purpose. They want to kill lowbies with the boss they're luring behind them. If the boss can hit you, it keeps aggro, that's the problem. It's a bug in the game from the beginning and it's never been fixed.

    Bosses in PW are very buggy on aggro rules. And the others are right on how the Safe Zone only saves from PK/PvP. Bosses can be lured into towns and such. Most bosses can't get into Archo cause of the walls, but a flying would possibly get in and cause havoc...

    The other thing is: a Boss is PvE related, so say someone high lvl is pissed at someone that is in Blue Name, a way to grief them would be making a Boss come AoE nuke them. That causes a lot of collateral damage in the sense that all others in the area will get nuked. Since it's under the PvE rule setup, all characters regardless of level/Blue Name will be hit/killed.

    That... Is why it's bannable b:mischievous

    It is bannable if in luring the boss from its normal location it stops other players from completing quests for boss, i read somewhere in forums.
    There are old Warriors, and bold Warriors,
    but there are very few old bold Warriors. b:chuckle
