Regarding Kill Farming in PvP

[Gadgets]

Anyone else? Or Devs to speak?

[Bootydots]

So can someone or Devs/Mods explain the definition of illegal and legal farming?

I have joined a real "Farm lobby" i had 3 people on my team running out to the middle naked over n over again. I find it funny when your group runs the other team over fair and square and they say you are farming...

[Gadgets]

Good to clear before peeps do wrong things. Wrong but no knows, must educated, make system better.

A simple way to keep your toon clean is to ask yourself "Is the other player trying to kill me". If the answer is yes, then you are not kill farming. With true kill farming, you either control both characters, or the person controlling the 'enemy' is doing what you ask so they are NOT trying to kill you at all. If you have no control over the enemy, you are not kill farming, plain and simple. If you do, you are.

So... I made a level 2 and I've started flagging...
Obviously I don't play 24x7, but....will I get banned if my toon shows up in LB one day?
....can almost hear *burn the witch, burn!* in the distance

You're obviously joking...if your serious the answer is no.

how can u expect a mod/dev or anybody explain the definition of illegal or legal farming if u don't you don't define your definition of farming?

- Farming novice player with a twink and farming in spawn spots is legal
- sharing accounts with other people is illegal
- farming naked toons is half-legal depending on how much hatred do you get for it from the community, and if your ego tells you to farm that way 1-5th place in a week, you will be banned.

your 3rd statement. its illegal under any circumstances


from everything I've seen i cant tell u this,

u can kill farm yourself with 2 devises

with 4 devices u can spawn kill farm yourself

with 10 devices u can spawn kill farm yourself very easy, very very fast and u will be uninterrupted

bottom line if u spawn kill yourself and your investigated you will be banned.

What is you spawn kill with 20 devices??

[Prolikethis]

What is you spawn kill with 20 devices??

huh? oh replace the "is" for a "if" i get it.

i see from your sig, u haven't played since the lvl 16 cap. ctf wasn't available then.

ctf in al is 5 players 2 teams



i understand some of you make trying to make light of the situation but all the the players that actually fought their way onto the leader boards this subject of farm killing isn't funny at all.

[verydangerous]

yeah this is really a big problem. people sometimes ask me if i farm killed, because i have 1k kill and 0death. Well i am clean with my stats because I didn't kill farm at all. I tried making 0death after several failures. I even deleted
when i had 400kill 1death. now i see a lot of people kill farm and try to make 0death. Where is the fun if someone use many devices to kill farm and make stats? if this is possible, then everyone can easily get warmonger title within maybe a month if they spend a lot of time each day just kill farming. I know some people who is in leaderboard did kill farming. I had my best gears and played really carefully with my friends not to die. I even see a random noob player who has 500kills and 0death and everyone would know that guy kill farmed. Well i know some people try hard not to die, but kill farmers should get banned or at least their account should be refreshed. If kill farming is possible now, why would people join pvp arena and play with others? This kill farming should be dealt somehow. otherwise pvp won't be fun anymore.

[verydangerous]

Also if kill farming is possible, then i can just ask my good friends to make another toon and let me kill them for few hours, then i will easily make warmonger within even a week. Or I can just make account on my computer and play with my iphone at the same time to make free kills. Trust me, this kill farming will ruin the whole leaderboard and pvp concept. Please do something devs.

First I would lik e to thank you for making suggestions. However, making a limit on flags is unreasonable. It is already hard to ctf with only 5 per game. Sharing flags with other members if your team is a great idea but many games i enter I am the only one who wants to flag anyway. Your suggestion would prevent me from flagging in that type of environment.

[chelelee]

I was constantly farmed when I first started pvp. I just learned to be stronger: respecced and bought better gear. Now I can defend myself rather well. My advice is to get stronger. Oh and I never forget the ones who farmed me when I was new

[WindTurbine]

Many players are actually ready to die for you if you pay them. If STS makes a rule that you cant earn money by dying or you can't pay anyone n ask to die for you, maybe this can end. For now, I really dont see an issue if someone is getting more kills than others. Moreover, its really difficult to even be on leaderboard nowadays with all the ganging in pvp. Regarding farming, one person sets the trend, others just follow or do it better. Also to the one's who are looking at Trueorigin's 50k kills, he didn't reach there from 0 kills in 9hrs, has been on LB since long now.

Bottom line, most of them farm, some farm more than the others.

[Slashdatgash]

So many rules for PvP...
If I actually saw someone banned for anything other than hacks in PvP I'd quit playing this game straight away.
It's CTF but it's also Player VS Player. You're allowed to kill other players, you're allowed to capture flags. If people pay others to die for them then that's that. Go out and earn some gold yourself and you can do the same. On my main I can get anywhere between 25,000 - 30,000 when doing dailies.

[Naujokas]

oh cool

[Alhuntrazeck]

My kdr reads about 700:100. Very bad. But that's because back when I had crappy gear I used to go out for a match or two just for the achievs. Imo, kill farming means chasing a person and killing him/her again, and again, and yet again. That always used to happen to me. Finally I geared up and earned that 100 while gaining maybe 20 deaths. So at least imo, kill farming is when you farm kills of an enemy.

Happened to me too, back when it was newly introduced, played from sucky gear and accumulated quite a bit of deaths.. Now I just PvP to enjoy n have fun from my main KDR n all is just showbiz, as long as you enjoy it, keep doing it

Players judge you on how your character looks.
What if I went to a match and wore nooby gear?
I would get farmed.

[Driaziy]

Awesome!

I do that now. I wear good armor under vanity. Then when the smoke settles people ask what I wear. I put on my lvl 16 chain and hat then take of the vanity. I usually get you are joking right? Ahh bait taken... I ask, Would you like to test? I then 1v1 them in the chain. I win some and I lose some. Rogues hurt a lot like that. In the end though it is fun.
