If it wasn't intended, it was at least a massively ignored oversight. Since the day prestige came out people have been trading and people have been mentioning people are trading. The same suggestion has been around since before the inception of prestige to prevent trading and has been overlooked over and over. Traders are the fruit of this oversight.

I have a hard time thinking it was merely an oversight. I think Hoof has only so many hours in one day and let's face it, he is the only one who 'fixes' these things. He started by stopping, or slowing, the traders to allowing Prestige to be earned no more then once every three days from the same player. He stopped hitting more then 30 day inactives for Prestige as well. The next step will be to make xp loss occur when the player attacked is below your level. Eventually it will be addressed. Just takes time.

So you think it's a voluntary omission? In that case it's a bit sad, as the other fixes that were implemented merely try to work around the problem without looking at the source of it.

Pretty sure one of your own guild members hit me simply for prestige today.

My rating sucks atm, I had no gold, and he couldn't take xp. It was a 10 stam hit.

Just found this kinda funny. Didn't expect it from a member of WK.

I 100 stammed him back for hypocrisy. :)

(Sorry if this is a bit off topic)


This was me and i'm hitting almost everyone under my VL just to see how many people would bounty me when they lost absolutely nothing. I just want to prove just how many people hate just the very essence of PvP. If you had asked me first I would have explained this so, instead of you just expecting the worst of me. I level once in a blue moon nowadays, I could really care less about prestige, even when i do level I hardly ever remember to activate it. But thanks for the assumption.

On a sidenote, how many Prestige is needed for the full 10% ?


1= 1%
51=2%
101=3%
151=4%
201=5%

451=10%

But that is exactly why she assumed. You hit for no reason that could be seen. So she assumed a prestige hit. Since you can't take Xp, she hardly had gold, and her rating wasn't amazing. lol


ohhhh and to add onto that, you bountied her for smacking you back. LOL

LOVE IT! :D

She could have you know, asked. But jeez, why should I expect people to go through that much trouble. :roll: As for the bounty I don't really see why I shouldn't have, I took nothing important from her, and I got 770k exp taken away. I'll take a quote from her, "that's the risk you take."

To be fair, eddy, I know more than one person in WK that either won't reply to pm's regarding PVP - for the very reason luis stated - or who simply keep hitting, given stimulus.

I think the whole episode is rather amusing, but maybe that's just me.

hmmm... so, using 100 stamina and going for her XP initially would never lead to wrong assumptions, am I right? :lol:

I would have done this after to even the score instead of bountying but she's below my VL.

I don't see why you can blame levelers. They added a feature in the game that increases the XP gained during a hunt, cool. But you have to PvP for it, that sucks. Well they just found a way to circumvent the system, which almost everyone does to a certain extent.

I would get mad at the Prestige System, not the traders. They are not breaking any rules, just playing in a less honorable manner than you expect.

I explained myself earlier, whoever doesn't understand that to each his own. I was aggravated last night and maybe I shouldn't have bountied, at least I was man enough to admit my mistake. She has the opportunity to bounty me back to make it fair, I don't mind if she does.

I just thought it was interesting based on the reputation of your guild. I didn't care about your reasons.

That's why your opinion means very little to me, your mind was already made up before you read anymore about the subject. That's like me saying you are wrong before you announce your next argument simply because you are a moron. I'd never say that because I actually understand the concept of hearing two sides to a story.

Think about it, Eddy. She could've just thrown you up on the board and you could've lost 15%+ Xp. :P

"Just hit back" comes to mind, and she did just that. She thought it was a prestige hit, so she responded as so. Which, to a lot of PvPers, meant 100 stamming back to make the prestige unworth it. As even some of your guildies would do.... do you think I'd ask someone who hit me why? No I would not, I would retaliate how I thought neccassary and not PM them.

I have been thinking about it and I was aggravated because of a lot of circumstances last night. I made the wrong move in bountying her yes, and I have apologized earlier. I understand why she hit me the way she did, even though it wasn't true. She knows she can bounty me whenever, and that I don't mind.
