I'm seriously asking because I don't want to get banned

IMO if the person who had FTE couldn't possibly kill it on his own (since he had no help in zone) without kiting the mob around (stalling) they are not deserving of these boots. This should've been considered before transferring the boots from the person who actually camped it to a 31 wiz who wouldn't stand a chance at killing this mob without stalling for help to arrive.


During any other FTE (under normal circumstances) situation, the person who gets FTE must be able to kill the mob immediately. Otherwise this is stalling, and against the rules. I don't understand why a 31 wizard was awarded Jboots on a mob that he couldn't possibly kill on his own.

This is so fucked up, sorry that you got robbed OP.

I'm just saying, when the head developer starts threatening people with bans and I can't understand why, I want to understand why. I say argumentative stuff too from time to time, and if I'm going to keep my nose clean I need to know where to draw the line.

This only applies to raid encounters. What you're describing only applies to indefinitely occupying a mob in order to keep others from killing it.

The rule you're describing would mean that bards couldn't AE kite mobs. As long as you intend to kill the mob, and are actively doing so, you can take just about as long as you'd like to kill it.

Edit: A level 31 could conceivably kill the AC, though I would say that's about the cutoff level for this mob.

This whole situation just seems a bit fucked if you ask me.

I think at lvl 41 my highly twinked mage was JUST able to kill the AC; I highly doubt a lvl 31 wizard would have even enough mana to kill this mob. That is assuming that their nukes would even land at all, do wizards get lure type nukes at this level?

AC is listed as ranging from 32-41. I've never had it con lower than white until level 40-41 on my mage, so this level range seems legit. I just highly doubt that a 31 wizard could ever kill AC without help. Their nukes would mostly be resisted (since it would con DEAD red, and even green cons now resist nukes with a fair amount of regularity) and if not...they would run OOM long before the 2500-2800~ or so hps that this mob has are gone. This situation is absolutely fucked.


Oh well, grats some undeserving 31 wizard on jboots. Poor OP got robbed; I'm glad that I don't mess with the Sro AC camp, if this happened to me I would be furious. Shame that the OP didn't just stand back and let that wizard get fucked up, then kill AC himself. Being a bard, I would've just charmed it and told that wizard to go fuck himself.

This might be the first time I've ever agreed with Tasslehof.

The sro ac is around level 32. I just killed it easily with my 39 wizard last week.

But a 31 wiz? Not alone, unless both highly twinked and lucky. Cyclops have higher hp than average mobs.

Sympathies to the bard.

This thread has me speechless. And sad. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
