[LADYHADASSA]

Insults may be uncalled fir... Yet when i am in my 61 join a game with lows i leave... When im in my low and enter a high i leave.... When lows are at boss an upper joins and stays he/she kills EVERYONE the map is then a lvl 61 map... This makes many very upset especialy when boss is blacklined! Seriousley considerate!! I have taken 53 lvl 61 from my main for being very rude, and stating right off they wont leave... For killing a team.. For being self seeking.. For being ignorant calling lows noobs yay i have been around a long time two lvl 61 amont several other lvls... Whoot im a noob! But really true colors shine... I play pl by a standard.. I treat people well...i give away millions in gold, gear, pots.. Help people lvl.. Help peeps get the gear they work so hard to get and fail.. Take lowerers and show them the ropes.. Teach strat... Thus is what many elite players do... To find peeps you have been so kind to be so ignorant to a lower theur benifactors in hiding! Oh heck no! Ignore is a super feature!

I have deleted lowers from my friends list who play the same way...

Yes sts made an error no one shoukd be able to join a lvl 5up or lower in any map.. So now its up to players to grow up and respect on all sides....

This entire thread makes my brain hurt.

If I could thumbs down this entire thread, I would.

[YYZ????]

Thumbs down to the thread and thumbs down to the behavior of many in game.

I have never insulted anyone in this game and have received very, very little. Until now!

I enjoy the game too much to get involved in the drama. Nuri's awaits, goodbye pumpkin king!

on the other hand this way low lv items become extremely rare lol

I myself have a quick-chat saved which politely says: "Farming low level scaled items, level 20 max. Please leave? Thanks"
Seems to work most of the time.

That's a great message, beats a bear I noticed saying "56 out" followed by cussing if they didn't leave.

Ok, yes I too wish that this thread could die. I was asked to leave ( and did leave) 3 times because of twinks farming. And this was just while trying to finish the quest on the first day. I finally finished the quest with a mixed group. The rudest request was just "level 60 leave". Thank heavens no one cussed at me. You know my character does have a name. I haven't been back. I'd like the chance to get something my Mage can actually use but I'm just too old to put up with the silliness.

Until STS makes the games lockable every one needs to remember that we all have the right to enjoy the Halloween event. And being rude to someone who is just trying to get something useful to them isn't helping.

Play nice children. The new playground won't be here long. Lol

To get scaled pinks, run through the first floor of the dungeon with whoever shows up until the level is cleared.

When level is finished, DO NOT cllick on "go to next level". Just wait. Let the people that are too high in level move on to the next level.

Then invite people who are your level to join the finished level you are waiting in. Or you can just wait for people of the correct level to join randomly and tell them to wait with you.

Once a full party of the correct level joins you, everyone can move on to the boss level together.

Many players on this thread and on other threads have said that high-level players do not have to leave low-level alt groups in the Halloween map. I agree with them.

High-levels do not HAVE to leave. We can if we want. But, we don't have to. Either way is perfectly OK.

STS has choosen to make these games no host/no lock. Apparently, they did this last year also. Why, are games no-host/no-lock? As far as I know, no player knows for sure. We can guess. I have two guesses.

1. STS would like us to be nice and have fun. (Where on earth have I seen that?)

2. If hosting/locking is enabled it might make it easier for aggressive farmers to manipulate the market.

But, right now, STS wants random games. That's a fact. Samhayne has said that it is a complicated problem with no easy solution. So for now, at least, games are random.

There is a smaller grouping of people who want to narrow the difinition of Halloween grouping and basically do the opposite of what STS wants. They want to be able to farm in 20 and under groups to contrrol drop level.

Does STS care if people do this? NO, of course not. In fact, the quote that I put at the beginning of this post shows EXACTLY the way that low-level alts should set up their farming groups. If you go up in this thread where this quote first appears, you will see that Samhayne thanked it. Out of the thousands and thousands of posts on this forum he has thanked 17 of them. And this quote is one of them.

At least for now, we have random grouping. Because that is the way STS has set it up.

So................. if someone wants to play in such a way that narrows what makes up a group, THE BURDEN IS ON THEM. The burden is on the players who want to narrow the scope of Halloween grouping. Other players don't have to ruin their game play so that a few can try to make a killing in the market.

(Not that there is anything wrong with that. People who work hard should benefit from that hard work. But, when you cross the line between acceptable and non-acctable in-game behavior it starts being greed vs. just smart business.)

I am so surprised. I had no idea that these random grouops would be so FUN. Every, and I mean, every group is different. Such a great and refresshing change and sometimes quite a challenge. I had no idea I was gonna be even interested in Halloween on PL. But, I am having some of the funnest times of all on games. But, this bizarre in-game drama kinds of ruins it a bit. Which is too bad. Fortunatelly, it doesn't come up all that often. But when it does, it is usually pretty bad.

Quite frankly, we are wasting time with all this drama. Instead of being pro-active and doing what we should be doing to set up groups (as stated in the above quote), there is this strategy where some are saying, "well instead of taking responsibility for our own game, we gonna spend all this time bullying others into complying with our wishes. And, OH BOY, if they don't do as we demand, we gonna make threats, be vulgar, be insulting, and so on and so forth".

If we were proactive and took responsibility we would get way more drops because there would be less fighting with players and more fighting with mobs.

In addition to setting up groups as described in the above quote, low-level alts should add to their friends list. I see the same low levels rotate through groups for hours. As we see other low-levels active at the same time we are, add to friends list.

These two methods combined would make a fantastic way for low-level alts to group. If we were proactive and took responsibility we would be able to do 45 - 60 runs an hour. Low-level boss runs usually take about 30 seconds.

Doesn't that seem better than cussing, bullying, drama, threats, and griefing?
