Gatherers in TA are pretty much having free reign now, they just add the few pkers and immediately homestone/leave TA with full materials 100% of the time.  This is what I said would happen with a low population game where TA is unsupervised 90% of the time in other servers.  Exploitable gathering rate.  

 

I don't want to be the friends of noobs, at least add a function where I have to actually ACCEPT friends requests.  

 

Or merging servers for just TA.  Game has too low population to let gatherers remain unchecked in TA.

strange you offer 2 suggestions in the title of the topic but don't mention either in the post but then go on to suggest a different 3rd options...

 

though out of the 3 I would vote for the 3rd, having to accept friend requests. about the other 2  1st remove double gather = I vote no and I don't gather  2nd being anonymous log in... I don't vote as I personaly don't like it I want to be able to see who is on but I guess I understand why some would want it so wouldn't vote against it either.

I don't even understand their logic sometimes

 

They removed ToC due to "exploitative" gem drop rate.  Then months later, add gems to TA.  Where it is easier to gather valor, and to buy exactly the gem you want.  At least in ToC, people actually had to play to have a chance of getting gems.  Now we have level 10 gatherers selling glim onyxes.  

 

Anonymous login or accept friend request.  I get bothered several times a day to heal runs for level 10-30 people I don't even know.

I already offered the suggestions in title.  So I spent the post explaining why.

I do use the friend's list as mentioned here - to avoid certain PKers.  But then again I don't really exploit TA.  I might go there for 20-30 minutes each day to save a few minutes of gathering and do the daily, but I'm not spending hours there massively producing resources.

 

And the PKers are smart.  Even adding them isn't a guarantee if they know where you like to gather and switch servers at that location in TA.

 

Still, I do agree with Alteration to a large extent.  Some people do spend countless hours there each day.  Its a difficult situation because TA isn't a very big area.  Suppose you close TA on Terra and Oceanic servers.  For a person who isn't powerful enough to defend themselves, it would be near impossible to gather on TA whatsoever.  Ideally, in my opinion, in the present state of things TA would only exist on one server but would be a much, much larger map.

 

Accepting Friend Invites:  I'm not opposed to this, but only if friend's list get's expanded beyond 50.  Outside of two players on my FL to avoid in TA, my friend's list is a constant shuffle.  Suppose someone has placed an online potion order.  I'll want to add that person so I get notified when they get online, something that would be impossible if they weren't around to accept my friend request.  Any healer that is willing to do dungeon runs with me I try to keep on my friend list, as well as DPS players, but in the current state of things half those players would not accept my request because their friend list is full of other players.  And often lower level players who want help from me, I tell them to add me but I can't add them back because my friend list is full - requiring a mutual acceptance would mean they couldn't add me to ask for help. While I appreciate the problems with TA, I don't think this is the answer.

alternate suggestion.......  only allow people to spend XXX time in trappers?

 

 

I would say make it only open at certain times of day (easiest to do) but then people would get screwed based on time zone + would mean pve and pvp players was always there at same time as it's the only time can enter....

 

but say everyone gets 1 hour per day or even 2 hours....  then a pve player could enter see pvp'ers there and think eh I don't want to pvp i'll come back later.  the pvp players may have spent their allotted time there making it safe or atleast safer when the pve player returns.

 

 

just an idea like I said before I don't do any gathering/crafting nor do I care too much about pvp (atleast not till it's totally fixed) so these idea's don't effect me any but this suggestion sounds like something that could work... I mean hell if you're smuggeling goods you couldn't really spend all day every day doing it or you'ld get caught anyway

Let the 2 x gathering rate be there . I completely agree on friends list / anonymous login . 

 

On using a homestone , why dont we make it that they lose 50 % of resources even on using a homestone . 

 

Due to low population , i would like to see TA only in US server or if server strength is greater than 30 . 

[xpwaste]

Here's a suggestion.

 

 

Make the game better (million suggestion for that already give by players so i won't be going on there. as i myself have posted quite a few.)

Once the game is better. Advertise it.

 

If successful TA won't be exploitable. Simple.

 

Instead of going on over the same things that are good and breaking them into the worst thing to spend time on (like TOC for example) is just a waste of time and plain stupidity.

 

EDIT: haters gonna hate. Just fact remains a fact.

Remove the possiblity to use Homestone at TA.
Now rush in and kill em

You still have remote stash/vault/dragon is too easy to save mats.

 

I would say only one TA would be perfect.

 

WE have an extreme small community for it to have 3 TA and that place is big sometimes pker take ALOT of time to find me.

How about the PKers can only go to TA on 1 server per day (exploitable PKing?) same for killing PL

[Dasan]

Just leave TA alone, dont change it and focus on others things, TA is good as it is atm. 

[HuMoR]

TA is fine how it is,I can give a nice easy way for pkers to get a good grip on...scout players with a alt then get your main pvp char to log in right at them and catch them off guard  But I naturally have to give a good way for the gatherers to go against that have to be a balance somewhere. gatherers just buy and use remote stash,vault,and insta dragon to go deposit items they are cheap to buy and as low as a repair kit to use again.

We should be able to queue PVP battleground and random dungeon in TA => promoting PK-er

Edited by Narciss, 24 June 2014 - 12:34.

[EJK]

Disable homestone, insta-dragon and remote stash and vault in TA. 

No queuing, as it might get exploited. (i.e. I see a PKer come I scream to my friend on skype to join boondocks and join it myself after healing a pot and then I just tele to boondocks) I don't know if it's a good way to get away, but still.

 

If I'm located in Europe, do the US server lag more than the Europe? I don't want to get worse connection when I need it at most.
