    Default Trolling on event map

    There have been many suggestions in the past regarding the ability to kick people by other players.
    It was always turned down with "you can leave the map if you don't like the people".

    However if this event system is going to stay, something needs to be done about people who stay at entrance, preferably naked and barehanded, and wait for others to kill the boss.
    This behaviour has spread a lot yesterday.

    Please STS, try to come up with a way to punish these people.
    One way would be ability to quit map, getting e.g. "Helena energy ball" on Helena's map instead of a generic energy ball, to prevent exploits or storing it for later.
    It would show like normal energy in the upper box, except with a letter "H" or a "3" or some symbol.
    When my last ball is a Helena ball, the next time I go to mission, I will get Helena.
    By this procedure, only the last ball can be special.

    PS: there is a possible exploit, if people find Ursoth, everyone quits and invites friends, and they quit and invite friends, uhh.
    Maybe the Join button could be disabled while randoms could still join. Not sure if it's technically possible on this client.

    The energy bar combined with my free time gives a pretty tight schedule on my ability to run, and there aren't always people just waiting for me to log on and run with me :-(
    Simply adding a 4th or 5th energy ball to total capacity would help a lot too.

    You should be required to fight the boss to get any loot. If you have to fight, you can't leech.
    You never know what you can do until you try
    There are two ways of doing something: right, and again.

    I was annoyed with some naked leeches just shooting once and then standing a bit far or pretending to be dead and waiting to respawn only when the boss is at 1%. Kicking members from a map would create another way of trolling. That is not a solution. I usually /partyinvite 0 and run it solo but I am doing it at low level so it is relatively easier to solo. I guess you do need a party for atleast Helena at higher levels. I would suggest you party with either people you know or party with willing people from the Elondria entrance just before enter the map to weed out trolls.

    Problem is that if this happened and you were running PUGs, there is no guarantee that they would wait for you to come back and be eligible for loot if you dies near the end of the fight. Furthermore if zoning can take a long time and its possible for you to land without enough time to reach the boss area before the kill (this has happened to me on twinks with the easier bosses). In either this case you would have wasted one energy. I'd rather just let leechers get on with whatever makes them happy and not have people who are actually trying get frustrated with losing their energy balls

    There is a thing, improvement in theory, that in the end, helps leechers even more: you get loot no matter where you are on the map (tested at the first turn with first 3 vines).
    It's an OK improvement I guess, just the leeching needs to be stopped.

    I've actually done this, it was the first time I beat captain bluecrab. I didn't have a bow so I could only use aimed shot.

    Sometimes we rogues can't fight certain bosses up close.

    As for leeching, only time I stay dead is when I think the boss will die before I can run back. Otherwise I hate those guys.

    Smoke bomb and a high health/armor set will help you to get close. Was fighting Helena and ursoth with daggers the whole event this way. Hanging back and shooting aimed shot is not helping the team much. I'd rather be without rogues like that on my team.

    I agree, the cool down is much faster than that.

    I bet it would however I chose to play a rogue because they do damage and part of the fun is the strategy in staying alive. If I wanted to just stand still and pound on the boss I would have played a warrior.
