everytime I'm finishing the flower quest, I'll be at a spot killing away, and then 1/2 later somebody will come up and starts KS-ing me. when asked he/she will say "THIS IS MY SPOT!!!"


well I am sorry I didn't see your name engraved on the sands or a gated land with your name flashing on a big neon sign......


One bloke appeared and said that was his spot for 3 weeks of his farming, as if he paid the deposit and renting the place. another gal started shouting "noob" "ks" and other stuffs that sounds German to me.

They must be 18....nah....13. Definately 13. Probably less.

Have you guys experienced this?

When i was grinding at flowers once some nuker came along and just told me to F*ck off. the he kept repeating it and TRIED to ks me. I was killing the flowers before he even moved.

Also when i was farming at bandit stronghold some person appeard and started pming me "leave pls" over and over.

happens everywhere, a guy tried to make me leave the spot I was grinding in yesterday stating it was 'his'.

I told him i didn't care what he did, my GT time was over for the day, I'm at 99.99%, and have res scrolls. No matter what he did (summon or try to KS) I wasn't leaving and wouldn't care if I died as I lose next to nothing and I'd be back instantly. He left.

well, lucky for you...all i get are nukers who vaporize the mobs in a blink of an eye.

Kinda makes me wonder if any of them are active in this forum....oh wait I keep forgetting....they're 13 below! they can't type decent English, If they know English in the first place.

well I am one of those nukers, sorry. I was a bower for a long time too. I'm not sure what your build or skill gap is but grinding greens is faster, cheaper and makes you more gold than on anything else.

If you are getting beat up I'd move or grind something else.

Well, the thing about the flowers is that they spawn in the same place and still have a nice population. So, you can just sit in one spot with about 2-3 flowers withing a nice distance. As soon as you kill one, the other respawns already.

I know that when I was on the flower quest, I had about 3 really good spots. My favorite had only 2 flowers - both within nuking distance, so I would just make a circle and nuke them all day w/o ever having to move.

So, whenever some other person comes and invades "my spot" its pretty annoying since i'd been there for a long time with no interruption in griding. Seeing as how the flower quests need 1000 kills, every kill is hella important. That's why the flower area is so territorial.

That same spot is more than likely another persons 'spot' as well luver. Heh so it comes down to a ks-competition. Whoever has better gear and is better at grinding wins the spot.

If I'm grinding in a good spot and someone comes and starts KSing I'll claim it as my spot. I was there first and shouldnt have to move.

But going into someone else's spot claiming it belongs to you is just stupid.

If someone is grinding in a spot I had been previously grinding in, then fairgame tuff luck for me.

If i'm grinding and someone else calims it's *his* spot. I go crazy

Thing I hate the most is... when you wait your turn for a spot ooo let's say in the MOLE room, happily grinding for 15 mins untill some flarking bot parks his cheeky ass right where your standing, only to hit anything you hit for like forever.

O, theres no such thing as ks, Crying *ks* is the same as crying *You are in my spot!*

I'm dealing with that now grinding flowers...I have found a sweet spot and someone will come in now and then show me how powerful they are tell me to pls leave and then get tired of my non response and non stop killing and just leave...IMO Jsut kill as though they aren't even there and they will eventually leave...If they don't and it's crowded...Time to go shopping....

TELL ME ABOUT IT! Grrr i hate nukers who ks on purpose..

theres this b1tch on troy called ohh_its_moony, shes always at PEGS rooms, and ks's everyone, and the room turns into a big summon war all the time...

but ya, when i see someone already grinding where i was before i left, il jst wonder around the cave untill i find a room with some space, and hopefully not any nukers..

i doubt they are young either, they jst want to do it to make themselfs feel big... but if i ever see them not grinding,but doing jobs etc, am gonna fck them up!

I think we have all experienced this. One thing I have learned during all the level 70s I have trained is to just let it go. There is no point in trying to fight KSers. Its just that type of game where KS is just going to happen. If its to much then just dont play . Anyhow, if he keeps KSing you just KS him back or go to a different spot.

Heh there's a nuker named DiviDe or DiviNe at earth ghosts/gun powders who kses EVERYBODY. Lucky for me he can't effectively ks me without losing alot of his xp, so he gives up quickly. I love having a good weapon heh heh.

those nukers who can 1 hit kill mobs and still saying "pls go away from this spot and stop ksing my mobs" are big time noobs

yep i experience this everytime i go to the flower place.

Yes I hate that shit!!
This does happen everywhere you go. It's hard because the Oasis is so far from Donwhang. The horse is too slow!! do yourself a favor, buy reverse return scrolls and ks the crap out of anyone to gets in your way. Thats what I did in the caves after everyone started to hog spots for jewelry boxes.

Yep, I had 2 people come to me and started KSing, claiming it's their land, back when I used to train/quest there. I challenged both to PvP and killed them. Blader Power!

Archers are the most notorious people that say "my spot".
I think every archer I see is either ks'ing or saying this is my spot lol.
If im in game ill show you a really good spot for flowers if your still on that quest.

How To Screw Them Up: PVP

grinding hotspots (or whatever you wish to call them) are like toilet cubicles in a loo. Imagine you're in one, doing your business and then someone knocks on the door and says "hey that's my spot, get out!"

how, pray tell, would you feel?

I just finished the quest....but wait...Jesus Tapdancing Christ, the liquor quest!

no more flowers for my girlfriend!

Ugh, how much do I loathe players that think they own the entire map.

Had a situation like this happen to a guildmate just yesterday. She'd been happily grinding her ticket away on 2 shades for a couple of hours when along comes another player who tells her it's his spot she's in and she needed to 'fark off'. (like there isn't hundreds of other shades he can choose from.)

He was a lot stronger than her so could one hit the shades and kill both of them without her being able to even touch them. Normally she'd get angry and fight for the mob but eventually move away, (can't do anything else really can u?) however the attitude this player displayed was incredible. The 'noob' name calling etc is to be expected, and yeh maybe the swearing as well, but then he started calling her a jew (no idea where this came from). Not only a bully and a KS'er but also a racist pig.

This of course didn't sit well with any of us, so we all made our way over to her to try and generally annoy the hell out of the guy. (dunno what it was about those 2 particular shades but he HAD to have them) lol, we succeeded sort of so he called in one of his lvl 70 guildmates who it seemed was deaf-mute and only able to help us in our endeavour of annoying him by killing those 2 shades. :p

It all ended when the lvl 70 summon scrolled us (one of our guys died cos he chose just that moment to go afk ) and apparently we are a 'shit-listed' guild now.

hehe that's fine with us. we wont always be low levels and we'll be able to take out the trash with Garbage guilds like his one day.

I think players like that have skyrocketed to the top of my list of pet hates.

i had 3 spots at flowers.. if one was occupied id move on to the other one.. respect is all.. but if one tries to ks me while on that spot.. thats a whole different story..

I hope and pray that the next time you guys see these idiots, you'll kill then over and over and over again....

That usually happens to me when I take a flower pair and someone else takes another pair, but it turns out that we share one in common. Or, if I'm killing a pair, and while I'm killing one of the flowers someone just keeps killing the other one when there are so many others around. So sometimes I get pretty pissed at that, especially when I'm farming
The first time I did something like that (ksing one of a pair) I had no idea that one should kill flowers in pairs. But now, when I think back, I think that killing the 2nd flower in a pair that someone else is busy killing is basically ksing, when you can get any of the other pretty good spots around, so yeah I would definitely defend those flowers if that was the case.

yas, if u are talking about the last flower b4 the yeowas or what ever thay are , i like that spot for the good giant spawn rate and if some one is there i find a nother spot, but if get there and its free then it becomes " MY SPOT" and i get ks'ed and i ask nicly for them to leave , most do , some dont . the ones that dont soon fint out that their waisting there time cus i out hit most of them ,

i say first in the spot ownes it , and i do let ppl take it if i have to get pots , there is always some one sitting on the side of the wall waiting for "the spot"

+1

The spot south-east of the pond? (flower area) Yes! lol.. that spot is convenient for me because I can just summon up a harmony circle.. and shoot away without even moving... But it becomes a problem after other people come and hit a monster.. then I accidently aim at their mobs as well... Then they are all "stop ksing!" etc. etc. Then I have no other choice but to find another spot.. (because I cant compare if they are pure int nukers).. lol.

meh.. if the ksing/"MY SPOT!111" problem is this bad at the flowers.. I dont even think I want to know what the caves are like..

lol, once again, feel ya .
Worst is on giants, your fighting one doing like 2k dmg, then all of a sudden, some jackass nuker starts doing 10K dmg on it
