About the new tainted weapons, please fix this. @Spacetime studios

[Flamesofanger]

Both buff and debuff is available to all Tainted weapons, you can switch between them using the craft inventory. Takes 2 mins and 10k gold each try.
Debuffs don't apply to boss irrespective of they pick it or not, and I guess mobs are too smart to pick it up.

On the pvp side I agree that insta-kill should not apply to players. As per Vroom the debuff pack is dropped around enemy. Its totally up to them if they want to pick up, unless you axe pull them to it . If your own team picks it up then its just friendly fire, lol.
He is updating the aesthetics of the pack it will then tell players what kind of buff/debuff is dropped more clearly with a overhead text. I think players will have intellect equal to mobs now and wont pick the packs at all xD

I wasn't trying to say the mobs and bosses will literally. Go walk to the packs and Pick up the packs. I was trying to say, when they go near the packs as i leash/taunt them or use axe they don't pick it up at all.

Also, i'm pretty sure every player in the game knows mobs & bosses won't go in harms way unless leashed/taunted.

And this isn't friendly fire. This is a bug. I don't think the weapon is intended to work like this against the players themselves when you payed alot for it. Especially, since the debuffs are so powerful, like for example the 50% armor reduction...that is gonna really bite a teammate in pvp Guild battle grounds.

Also, Especially since there's clashes that go on all the time in pvp guild battle grounds.

And there's two different Separate. types of tainted weapons for each class, one that buffs and the other that debuffs. Please go on the game and check the auction house.
