More booting before boss...

[Whirlzap]

Because I'll make this whenever some random high level boots everyone for loot when they helped clear the whole dungeon.
Also because I just won't spare anymore pity for those who boot like that.

And the worse part, this kid even admits to booting everyone

[Rare]

Some people never going to learn.

[Ptaka]

Is there even anything to gain by booting right before the boss? The drop rate is what it is for each individual person.

[FluffNStuff]

Was this in Humania? Too bad we can't administer soap beatings in game to get players to fall in line. Perhaps we need an emote for that.

[Arsenal]

just an fyi, they cant "boot for loot" because everyone has their own chance at loot, having you in the game doesnt affect his chances, which just proves your point, booting nefore bosses is pointless... and mean:(

how is it bannable??

[FluffNStuff]

how is it bannable??

It is not bannable, but it is clearly soap beatable.

[Whirlzap]

Well, it is considered ruining a player's experience and that is considered horrible if you look at ToS.

Not directly bannable, but after several warnings, probably a possible Temp Ban.

And yeah, the ironic truth is, there actually isn't anything you achieve with booting before boss. It doesn't affect your individual pink drop rate in any way.

Oh, and this is in SSC.

[CodyBearr]

At least the boot reason wasn't "my loot!" or "I think you might get pink so bye" at boss... I've seen them all (mainly in ssc, fang & swamps)

I always reported screen shot or text report but idk what ever happens... Oh well, on to the next one

[LookBehindMe]

Ok so this reminds me the other day when I was lvling my toon ( lvl 7 at the time) I joined a skeleton cult crypt that was hosted by a lvl 70.
So I get in and there is a 68, 70 and two other lower lvls like me.
So the 68 and 70 start pulling all the bosses to the main room and tell us all to come back for the xp/drops, as soon as we do they stop attacking and let us take the damage and start calling us noobs, losers.
So I ignore them and kite and start attacking the bosses np.
So then I get booted with the reason " die you noob".

*sigh* I told em they would see about it in the forums and the 68 said sry and said that it was his friends idea that they would stop.

[LADYHADASSA]

I has this happen a few rimes in new maps nothing is more aggrivating and indeed makes peeps mad. I can understand at the beginning of a game somone is per lvl farming etc. but why are peeps are booting at boss is a question that remains.

The excuse i was given one day was "wrong way" while we where at boss... Ummmm seriousley

[LADYHADASSA]

It is not bannable, but it is clearly soap beatable.
Rofl fluff love the soap deal rofl!!!

I'm pretty sure Whirlz knows how to report. Using the screenies with names MAY be a no-no but this is one of those cases where I personally don't care (as the same will be with most vets.)

I am an advocate for this to be a bannable offense, especially when they beg for it. Also, in a case like this where the individual makes it clear that he/she does it all the time, this post helps to educate the community for names to watch out for.

And +1 for a Full Metal Jacket style soap beating Fluff! Haha

Also not a fan of calling out names, because you could tarnish their reputation with out any evidence. This is different, because the name happens to show up in a screen shot, and if someone does not realize that everything they say and do can be screen shot then they really should not be using technology :)

Just noticed in the second pic that dude who was selling the 500 pots. He was everywhere last night, I couldn't seem to get away from him. LOL

[Chopper]

I guess there might be two reasons for booting at boss:

1) a party had a rough time clearing the mobs and finally gets to the boss and some new player just jumps in wanting to farm the boss. They might feel that they did all the work and it's poaching to just jump in at the last minute;

2) they want to keep rare items rare so they can maximize their selling price so boot before someone has chance at the drop.

Not saying that these are good reasons, just possible reasons why they do that.

[McBain]

I'd buy 500 potions for 6k

[Elitephonix]

21-25 farming and silvanooo Is level 60? I remember seeing him rush gemstone people.

[Suentous PO]

Beyond dumb, as you have a better drop rate with a full party. Theyre only lessening their chance at pink.

[Chopper]

I thought drops rates have nothing to do with the number of people in your party.

[McBain]

I'm pretty sure there's no drop rate bonus for full party, but I believe there is a little xp bonus with a full party though. Either way, booting before the boss does absolutely nothing except pissing off everyone else in the party. This is definitely punishable (would be considered griefing), don't know about perma-bannable though unless the person has been a repeat offender.

[StompArtist]

Used to be an advantage to full party.

[Zaonabiuibil]

Tsk tsk. Selfish selfish.

[Suentous PO]

Aw the full party bonus is gone?!?
Oops nm then

[McBain]

I didn't know there was ever a drop bonus for full party O.o

I could be wrong, then. Which, of course, makes boss booters even more stupid

[Cobraguy]

I usually boot if a player comes in late on a run or if i forgot to make a password. The thing i love is when i boot from SSC and a player comes back to the game on thier high level toon like they think theyre going to impress me. Oh wait...i seem to remember the op doing that once.

I get booted sometimes...its the inherent risk of joining someone elses game...if i boot you, dont cry to me in pm, just find a new game and move on.

[Suentous PO]

Well if they redid the bonus for a full party that might stop some booters. Although a jerks just gonna be a jerk sometimes.

Because my level 21 Bear isn't geared up.
It doesn't have any type of level 21 gear, and can easily be seen as perhaps a noob level 21 bear, if not for the Big Luck I sometimes wear.

I come back on my highest level character only after unfair or mean boots.
If someone gently boots me with "Sorry" or even a simple letter like "S", I'll just move on.
But if it's like "noob" or before a boss or mid-way in a dungeon, then you know I'll be back and have a talk with you.

[FluffNStuff]

Coming back on a main after a twink gets booted is one of life's simple pleasures.

[Whirlzap]

No it's not.
Coming back on TWO mains hits the spot.

[FluffNStuff]

No it's not.

I was in a game just getting a PvP twink to level 10, and someone in game asked what other levels I had, so I listed them, like all of them. The host called me a liar, and booted me. I then proceeded to join the game with every one, saying "That was not nice", then leaving.

I don't believe there is a drop rate bonus, only the xp bonus for the full party. There are a lot of drop rate rumors, like texting the word "pink", doing the most damage, or getting the killing strike. There is an old thread around here where people put their own pink drop rumors. Some were true, like low level farmers would boot higher level players to get level scaled drops.

I wish STS would maintain a loot drop FAQ to address all the rumors. Most of the odd behaviors and boots that I have noticed in the game were related to superstitions about getting better drops.

[FluffNStuff]

The only drop bonus for a full party is that a pink is five times more likely to drop to a full party then when soloing.

[Subscriber]

That's sad.

What a typical response saying a person is crying on this thread.

[Cobraguy]

Have a "talk"? You mean cry?
This is one of the things thats making pl not fun to play anymore, having to deal with crybabies that complain about such petty things as getting booted from SOMEONE ELSES GAME.
If you cant deal with this stuff on a game then idk what to tell you about having to deal with real life issues as an adult. Suck it up and move on....simple.

[TEOKILLO]

You know, i remember last time knockador booted you from ss caves and he ended up being a great guy making tons of contests and giving away gold to the community, id think before reporting a person who just booted you

[Whirlzap]

Then you obviously didn't remember what happened at all.
Knockador even came onto the forums, apologized to me, and explained what his/her intentions were to me and it was fine.
Then he went on to participate in the forums.

Having to deal with me is your problem?
I'll put this easy and straight forward to you.
Don't bother posting here and just get out.
You didn't need to even click this thread.

I don't know why you're even here unless that bird was your bird.
Which would disappoint me very much, unfortunately.

It's also amusing how you are comparing this incident to real life issues.
I hope this game isn't this reflective on your own real life routine as it seems to be that you think it is such for me and others.

And if you do think that posting this thread was wrong, how about I spread some word, make sure you get booted out of every game you join from this point on and see how you would react?
Sound good?

If you want to take this up into an argument, I'll gladly accept.

[Cobraguy]

Wasnt me at all, i have all my toons listed in my sig line minus my 21 farmer, Farmraptor. Theres no need for a petty argument, im just making a point on a public forum.

[Walkhardd]

I think its funny how a known forumer can call out a player and get basically no crap for it. Yet, you all can't wait to jump all over some newbie for doing the same thing.

For the record , I think its a stupid rule to not be able to call someone out, and I would do it without thinking twice.

On topic-

If you high level nubs want to farm ssc for 20k drops, solo in a private game. Booting at the boss is probably the most retarded thing you can do in pl.

[Zaonabiuibil]

Hmm. INB4LOCK.

It's only necessary when a thread goes from a discussion to flaming ;)

[Reddwing]

Solution:Make your own games.

[McBain]

It's because it leaves the door wide open for trolls to slander people and causes nothing but flaming, and because if it were allowed to publicly whine about other players, that's what half the threads here would be about. It's not productive, informative, or useful in any way.

And yes, I think this thread falls into that category as well, whether it was started by a veteran forumer or not.


edit: and I might add.....INB4LOCK!

[Phoenixking]

I get so excited I do this

[Iehaenis]

I farm alot like everyone else so if any low level ever reads this... I DO NOT BOOT, I don't care what your level is. Even if I don't get the pink I'm still making pots and gold not to mention it helps the lower levels play on through. Usually this happens with onyx and I have seen no issue getting pinks more or less often with a lower level there. I've gotten more pinks from the mini bosses this way as well. Probably just coincidence but hey... if you see me in your group don't feel like you have to leave.

It is a fine line, but notice how this does not 'call someone out', but just happens to have their chat in the window. If, just as a random example, a post about pvp boosting did not list names, but had a screen shot of a player offering them gold to kill them in PVP, well ... once again, a fine line.

[Rare]

Fine reading entertainment.

Honestly, makes the forums interesting.
