New MVP Domination Rule

[Aaronock]

I've always thought MvP's were FFA simply because it avoided headaches like these. I almost feel we're going to be super paranoid when mvping now...it shouldn't be like that, I'm scared honestly that people will be out to get me or others over this rule, and I've never felt this way about heRO rules before.

I know good intentions were the cause of this rule but...

Personally, I've always enjoyed messing with the slaves.

This rule makes me not want to solo MVPs with my Champion anymore really =/ I think it's ridiculous and honestly, just pushes the preschool image of this server even further.

Edit: Oh well I'll probably get over it eventually.

I don't even MVP, and I still disagree with this rule. I don't feel like retyping things, so I'll just say it's for many of the reasons stated above and on other pages. >.o

I haven't even read the rule, or this thread for that matter, but I've heard some side comments about it and most importantly its title:

"MVP DOMINATION"??

It makes me giggle like a little school girl with her mind in a terrible gutter. lol.??"cya guys later, Imma' go dominate Maya after I finish doin' her purple sister straight up!"

maybe someday I will get around to reading about what it implies, honestly tho I figure I'll just keep MVPing as usual until someone yells at me for it and I'm forced to look at them.??

Quick question. If someone is storm gusting a MVP, say hibram cause it's a common tactic, and I come along and start storm gusting too, am I going to get jailed or banned or something cause storm gust can't over lap? Because technically that is interfering with the first come, first serve party. Also, if I am allowed to do that, am I now the dominate party? Because the MVP AI will switch aggro to me with no other attacks getting through.

The same thing to ask yourself about:

1) Is the only outcome from whatever you did to prevent other parties to kill the MVP? (No, plus if the other party is also using SG/ME, then they really should be able to SG frequent enough to block whatever as well as a *side effect*)

2) Also I guess it's working on assumption that the other party is also using SG/ME only as their method? From what you said, seems like it's outdamaged thus why switching aggro target to me, which is the point to how the rule works. So it'll be as you said: a mvp is dominated by whoever it's aggroing or chasing down.



@Izael's previous post:

I think now it's down to a matter of preference of why have competition by outdamage only vs competition by anything goes... preferences can't really be defended.


@general heRO:

I don't think the rule will cause as much jailing/muting as everyone described. The only thing it really stops is people doing something intentionally purely to prevent others from being able to attempt MVPing at all, like using ice wall to block other people or pneumaing the mvp when there is no need of it.

We've discussed about the rule again, and if players are having so much doubt about how it works, we don't mind setting a "trial period" for this rule. If it's really shown that the rule causes more outreaching problem than people predicts, we don't mind taking it back. Likewise for players, trust in the GMs after few months of looking at other server's actions on MVPing that this rule isn't something new, and other servers have shown great success in enforcing/judging over this rule (without banning 1/4 of the server or anything like that.)

Sad to burst your bubble, but Purple is male

[Loveless]

I think MVP's should be FFA, no matter what.

All but the summoned ones, honestly.

[Fyrus Carmin]

I think we should just make a poll instead ...
