There are a lot of people that will not play LS because of all the LS players that would let them die.


they don't need to be playing this game if they're just going to afk in a catacombs and let the real players do all the work

Tell them what they are doing wrong and kick them. No need to die and lose profs.

I had an ethical delimma today and had a new guy come in game with heavy weapon with no dmg. We were just 4 in game as no one was on. After 15 mins I had 300 actions and the new guy had none. I had some heals and it was pointed out that new guy was afk with ZERO ACTIONS and we had been in game at least 15mins. I decided after a very hard day at work that it was only proper to let him die and ordered everyone to the back row. James from Labby, a good friend, disagreed with me and said I should kick him. I learned this game the hard way and was booted from more games than I can count but I always tried. Maybe it was just my desire to persevere that kept me slashing and not give up that lead me to the decision to let the new guy die. I feel like he needed to learn a lesson as I couldnt see how he got to lvl 41 with that weapon unless he was being carried by more leet slashers. I am in no way implying that i am leet in any sence of the word but I wanted to know what some of the uber slashers would have done. If he would have at least clicked a few times this would not have happened. Please let me know if my actions were bm or acceptable so i can grow as a slasher.

Thanks,
Chip


IMO: see if he is still there and using a charm instead of attack. Sounds like he was inexperienced. If he was afk or refused to take direction, remake.

Never a reason to let someone die. Not only does it send the wrong message to the person at hand but may send the wrong message about you and your guild to the other members in the party.

The obvious choice isn't even listed...

Say angry things at him while he's afk and NG to find another 5th. ^-^ <3

:wacko: What did I do??? So odd, that my name was used here :rofl:

I havn't seriously Ls'd in a few days now...

I can't comment on thread though, most of the time if I see the Ls'er is afk or acting afk, I will admit, I'd get him killed.
Most of the time, I warn the user, because I see /who (name) he's active but just aint clicking or he's active on Jsp d2 trading/posting/spaming, etc.


Haha, just read it quick and thought it said James84, funny that it didn't though, my bad :P.

I'm guessing you have never encountered one of those guys, where when you say everyone move back lets kill him because he's idling, he instantly leaves.
I've had to deal with this too many times and I constantly watch ppl's actions.
I've had one guy that joined my game, leaves after 30 seconds? because he sees hes way above the host's level. We remake, he joins again. and goes afk after 20 actions for a good 20mins.

What do you do?


I've had too many of these guys that leech games on purpose. I don't care if people that are bming others in ls play the game or not. I view situations like this the same way I do real life. The agressor makes the rules, if they bm you, bm(not really bm imo) them back. Same as when I was in the Marine Corps...if they shoot at you...shoot back. I don't heal afkers and don't have a problem at all if they die, I usually hope they do. They usually have no prof to lose and are taking a gamble by afking.

I've had too many people that the group has pretty much begged to stop leeching and start clicking. I've gotten too many excuses like "I'm chatting on MSN...chill out" or "I'm doing the dishes". If you have to afk, don't join the game to begin with. If you have to afk for some emergency, click the exit button...you can do that while you are getting up to take care of the emergency. There are some people with lag issues, they usually say they have lag issues and struggle to keep their actions up. If they are trying then I would keep them alive. If they don't try, I don't.

I find the people in here that are attempting to brow beat people like me into taking "the high road" despicable. Ignoring someones bad behavior is the same as condoning it. Taking "the high road" requires you to do something about it, not pat yourself on the back because you are so nice. If they can leech their way to 71 without killing anything, you are doing them a disservice and the rest of the ls community by allowing it and not actively pursuading such behavior to stop.
