How Low can we go?

Is this the end of pvp as many of us know it now?
I've seen this new trend of so called pvpers this week, where as people will drop dots to just have their xp locked, and than go off 100 stamming people to compete on the ladder... I personally don't feel this is right and something needs to be done to fix this cheat. In pvp their should be risk. This has been said many times. However those who opt for the pvp prevention for one day or ten days are removed from the pvp ladder, and I feel those who opt out and pay for xp locks should be as well...
It's sad to see pvpers, levelers, and arena players all locking their precious XP just to compete on a ladder which was designed for the pvpers, only to risk gold and rating... I don't feel this is fair at all... To me its not about the dots whether it's one dot or 50 dots or even 100 dots... This is a form of cheating... cause regardless of bounties every hr on the hr (which is really lame) These people are taking something from me, in which I can not take from them. An they are competing on a ladder that was supposed to be designed for PVPERS and reward the so called best pvper of that week.
Please comment, share your ideas everyone... I know many of the novice players in this game seek the " I WIN Button" and if your truly not a pvper than xp loss is feared... However Please let me know how you all feel about this... ?
Thank you,
Chazz

Unless I missed something activating protection is supposed to remove you from the ladder
24 hour XP protection has not been excluded from the pvp ladder... That is why I am posting this forum Grendeldog..
It's because we have players Protecting their xp and than 100 stamming others for rating but at the same time protectiong their precious xp.. <------ I sincerely feel this is abuse of the system and a forum of cheating cause the only way to prevent this right now is to bounty them and take 5 but how does anyone do that when so many are all Protecting their xp ... This needs to be fixed so that if anyone Protects their precious XP they are " Excluded from playing in the PVP ladder altogether" but as of now this is STILL OPEN FOR ABUSE and many are doing it... =/

It's supposed to, but I have experienced trying to hit somebody at the top of my ladder and getting the "Target player is outwith your VL" message, which is surely PvP protection. It's a loophole that some can exploit, even though Hoof has assured me it is not. Then there are those that 100 stam folks to knock them down the ladder then get PvP protection to avoid a tap back. They are cheaters all.
Just one old lady's opinion

from what i understand if you buy pvp protection you are removed from the ladder (your name will still appear on the list untill the next reset but you cant win any tokens). any attacks made after buying protection causes that protection to go away.
Please do not confuse XP LOCKS with PVP Protection... They are two separate things as of the moment. This Forum is about Removing those who just LOCK their XP ... and hit ... and YES this is possible...

I think he means locking XP.Unless I missed something activating protection is supposed to remove you from the ladder
And I completely agree with the OP on every point. Its frustrating.

thats the part that made me (and probably others) think you were referring to pvp protection instead of just exp lock.PVP Protected and still on the Ladder? Really now... How low can we go?

xp locks is need to be removed from that game. This game is great because of all parts like is leveling, SE hunting, PvP arena and PvP ...
Xp locks just help players who wish to have all medal that game provide but they don,t wish to lost nothing with doing it DON,T TRY PVP IF YOU DON,T WISH TO TAKE RESULT.
The other day i saw player in my range on PVP Ladder I try to hit but I was not able to hit him because his xp lock and that is not like it should be if player is on pvp ladder he can,t have xp lock so please change that.
PvP is part of that game too so please respect use who love to play it

The easiest fix would be for HCS to remove the XP Lock upgrade, now that we have PvP Protection available. I have only seen 1 guy in all my time on FS try to use xp lock in a hunting scenario- and it was an epic phale- and all the rest have been to avoid deleveling off of the BB. As this is a source of FSP possible income, and this is a business, to expect HCS to remove it completely is a far-fetched.
If it would not be a huge pain in the tush to code, making any player who locks his xp, either unable to compete in his current bracket or the next up would be the next fix. Another possible fix, if they wanted to leave these players eligible to compete on the ladder would be that they could not take xp on ANY hits made inside their bracket. But again, probably another way that it would just too hard to code.
Technically, anyone that does exploit this known bug has broken the Terms of Agreement to play Fallen Sword and should actually be banned.

That would work. But we have a PvP opt out now. No need for XP lock anymore at all to be honest, unless you want to play PvP at low risk or solo SEs without risk of losing XP... Cheating if you ask me.We could tweak the XP Lock so that it will allow xp loss if you make an attack during the current PvP Ladder. What I mean is, it would work as normal, unless you attack another player - if you do this, then your XP could be lost during PvP attacks until the ladder is next reset. How does that sound?

If this is something that you can implement fairly easy, and works until they actually opt into PvP and then lose the protection, I think it could work, but should remain that way for the ENTIRE time they are in that bracket and the next bracket up or lose protection entirely.
If I were to lock my xp at 1000 xp from level 800, waited until the next round of PvP ladder was going and then went into it knowing that if I did get deleveled by non-BB hits and never slip past an hours worth of xp gain to get back to 800 I would still be exploiting it. Without those conditions, that would not be a real fix but a temporary band-aid (or tattoo).
