Kill Steal Complaints

[foxyvixen]

Kill steal gets very annoying and thus should not be tolerated because basically it's disrespectful. Currently, as a solution for this is through taking screen shots of the crime. However, I do have complaints about this process. As a fellow member of this community, I deserve one of the basic purposes of this game--to enjoy the game, in general. But if there is someone "KS-ing" out there, take a screen shot, how fast can you or I take one? How good the evidence could it be? Could you predict the character will attempt ksing? What if the suspected kser is just passing by and it happens it pass through exactly where the monster stood? In the end, didn't happen to be a kill stealer, right? What if an UNSUSPECTED kill stealer does the deed but you didn't expect he/she would? You lose your exp and forced to comply to give a share or maybe sometimes you miss out the exp at all.

So, for the sake of my (and everybody's) convenience, my opinion of the screen shot process would keep the player anxious or paranoid. I suggest the @noks command that would disable the kill stealer to hit a monster (e.g. when he/she attempts to ks, all his/her attacks will result as a miss). Wouldn't that be fair?

But, I won't let myself be biased. I have witness the disadvantages of the @noks command. Sometimes a jerk hits a monster once so he/she could have noks command is under his/her name on the monster and leaves it not killed.

For example, a knight hits a banshee once with his/her @noks command on and then the knight teleports to another place within the same map so when another party runs through the banshee, (the noks-ed one) they couldn't kill it because it is under the command (note: as long as the person using the noks command is in the same map, the noks is always active but if not in the same map, it is deactivated). Thus the party will have to suffer. That is the advantage of the @noks command.

HOWEVER, as long as the @noks commands notifies the party about the abuser's name of the monster, then it can be reported smoothly and much easier with a screenshot because it is displayed in the chatbox.

This is my preference and everybody has their own. This is just a suggestion so if anybody agrees, it would be nice. If someone is opposed to the idea, then let's hear out all the suggestions for the betterment of this RO community, right?
