As you might know, along with some other players i tend to visit Serpentine village and other TP's where new players start, cleaning the mobs and helping them out until the VU comes and they start spawning at their right place. Lately, i'm always finding a ton of mobs surrounding one of your members, Protactinium Pro Hubbard. I have nothing against free skilling, but choosing to use that specific revive for that reason is ruining the game for new players since they start surrounded by mobs that gather around the spot to help your Department Manager skill, never mind the wasted ammo and decay we get trying to clear the area to help someone who is afk skilling on everyone else's backs. Last time i checked, this was against the EU terms of service, and is worthy of a Ban. I decided not to raise a support case, but bring this up to your attention. I hope i won't regret my choice.
Thanks Manny, that name is familiar as one I have healed and tried to help as well, who never responded and appeared to be afk, so won't bother in future.
It could be though that he is simply unaware that new players spawn there. I have seen alo of people do afk-skilling since NI was introduced. Look for someone in his soc and tell them to tell him, he might not deserve to get "the eye" more than alot of other people. Then again this is just me speculating :)
That's why i decided to post instead of filling a support case, to give him the benefit of the doubt. I've been looking for his socmates, but even though these days i'm many hours online i haven't so far seen any.
Well despite Prot being moved to Misty, he was back at Serpentine doing it again. I took a screen shot and reported him, I think we have been more then fair.
I have taken a lot of armour decay because to many mobs at revive some not because of evade mob trains and some because of mob trains
Ya the mobs still get in, but he speeds up how quickly they get in. It is against the EULA, he has been warned about that on several occasions and was transported to Mysty tp by another player. All Prot is doing at Serpentine is getting new players killed as soon as they log in, and then they quite.
Its 1/28/11 As of 1/27/11 he was still doing this at this location. Im not against people skilling up via this method. As far as Im concerned, when in Rome, do as the Romans... and there are many Romans who have opted into this particular path. Were it not for my particular lack of patience with this method (it just isnt fun) I may have been one of them. However there are better spots to do this. Serpentine is as illustrated here a popular new player spawn point.
I have many p40 rocket launchers I can sell for cheep if this helps because you can fire one shot tag a LOT and drown them at least thats what I do to clear those tp's hehe
I just do a small run around and then a quick swim. Good for the circulation, and my armor thankfully doesn't rust :D
I started the game at that location and was repeatedly killed until a generous player named starneo came to help me out. I was just getting to the point of quitting when he did help. So if someone is bringing the mobs to the new player spawn area they need to stop. I do not have an issue with them skilling up this way, just not at the expense of new players.
Unfortunately Kashul, there are always some selfish pricks that couldn't care less for the problems they create for other players, or even enjoy them as I realized when Protactinium was online "thanking" us for coming over and clearing the mobs so he could get more skills. At least the community continues to shine through, as he keeps on destroying his society's name and reputation. Fingers crossed for turrets in next weeks update that should hopefully send him back to where he belongs
