Here's my logic behind this: A few hits by a random while in the event are fine, I won't bother returning. But when someone starts to take advantage and hits me 30-40 times in a day, that's when it gets annoying. Look at it this way, since the event started I get around 600-700 inc a day, if 100 of those are random hits, I'm losing 100 of every SDP to someone who never PvPs except when events come around. Try stepping into my shoes and look at the problem. Most of these people have never been in a real osw, they hit HTE and complain about old KAW not being around anymore. Sure, hit me a few times, but when you find out my payout is awful, it just seems like you're trying to start a fight.
So because I'm in osw I can't participate in events? Pfft. There are plenty of other people in the event, why would you hit just me 50 times in a few hours? Sorry that I want the same thing everyone else is getting.
I never said you couldnt take part in the event you fool. By taking part in the event you have invited anyone to hit you, theres no limit to how much they can hit you so people have every right to hit you as much they want. Id you didnt want you defence pots disappearing through random people hitting you then you shouldnt haw opted in.
I understand that yall aren't hitting outside of enemy roster. That sounds like a personal problem, not our fault, so why try and degrade the fun of the event by expecting us to pick leave out those in the osw? Personally I hit primarily from the BL, and not as many people are playing as you think, at leaste in my range, the same name pop up over and over very often no matter how many time refreshed, and 40% of em happen to be apoc or zaft.
So why are people complaining then hit whoever you want. Just realize that after the event you will probly be stripped and potless if you hit people in an active osw. Dont blame them as they are part of an osw clan that protects its own members.
The whole point of the event is to earn favors. You enter the event as an idividual, every one else are your opponents. This is what they signed up for, and now they are trying to intimidate and threaten their way into controlling how this innocent, fun event is played. Personally I feel that this should punishable by the devs. Why should large clans/alliances be able use their strength to change the way a kaw pvp promo is played??? What if this actually have them an advantage in collecting favors? How is that fair? Trying to keep their selves an own private event, it's bs. I personally don't give a damn about the consequences, but I know many other players are probably to intimidated to hit them in this event. How could anyone not understand why that pisses us off?
I didnt say it was fair just stating thats the way this game has been played for a long time. Therefore you can choose to either hit them and take retaliation afterwards or find someone else to hit. Also the way the promo was set up isnt really individual as clans protect thier own. A better system would of been that anyone who opts in stays clanless for the duration.
Devs should just quit making PVP events all together if we're going to have all these princesses prancing around demanding to be held in special regards. That's all it amounts to, Brats throwing a fit.
My take on this promo is many people have complained for a while to devs to get them to improve pvp and get more players actively involved in pvp on kaw. So the devs make an event to get players to pvp for the long term not short term. Not sure why players think they can just hit battle list for two weeks and then go straight back to ebbing. What's the point in even having an event to promote pvp if people just wanna abuse it for equipment/ banners and then hurry backing to ebbing? I really hope that the events, Spurs people on to carry on hitting those that hit them after the event because then the sole purpose on the event will have been an success. This is not about bullying it's about promoting pvp !
personaly if i was a leader of clan in osw i would be asking serious questions as to why certain members are hitting outside of osw and not concentrating on their targets.Hit someone in event then expect to get payback .
Now, I stopped reading after page 10. So advanced apologies if I missed any key points, or repeat anything. The devs posted: Please read it. The argument that I continuously see here is,"We are in OSW, so do not hit us." I see no statement in the Dev's thread that this is catered to players participating in OsW. If you do not want any outside hits, then simply do not participate. It's truly that simple. It's quite hypocritical to say that certain players are doing it for equipment, when EVERYONE wants the equipment. That's why you opted in, to have FUN and be rewarded. Players who opted in are all fair game. Why should those players ( who aren't in osw ) bend over backwards for you when you knew the consequences by OPTING in.
Well said diablo, its that simple.to many wimps hiding within feared clans ..them ridiculous banners up while you running half bars on.non osw participants ...talk about losing the plot
