World boss theft.....

What can you do on a PVE server when a large guild lures other BAMs around the area to try to get you killed / get the world boss to reset while you're fighting it?

Does that consider harassment? They're camping both channels (there were only 2 channels available during then).

Just wondering because at cap, I'm sure large guilds with nothing better to do can just do that all the time, monopolizing on world boss and their potential loot.

maybe set it so that world boss (only 1 that can be easily monopolized and are usually part of quests) don't drop significant loot in PVE servers? I was there because I was looking for a challenge after cap in the obt, but found it quite irritating.

I did give them a taste of their own medicine though, as I saw no official means of dealing with that matter at the time.

I asked this same question, and the best resolution is to take a screenshot and report them.

In the world of online gaming we refer to these situations as PVP

its your fault you rolled on a pve server and volunteered to have your only tool of defense taken away from you

cant believe how popular pve servers are, boggles my mind

And your name says exactly why PVE servers are so popular...there are millions of people out there who enjoy a relaxing and fun gaming evening after a long hard day at work that just so happen dont feel like listening to hundreds of little teenagers shaking their epeens and acting like well..jerkys. There is a time and place for PVP...it can be a total blast given the right circumstances...but when it comes to things like world bosses or dungeon bosses ect...its been taken in both directions...certain games decided to go the route of whoever gets to it first it belongs to them as long as they :tag: it...the most fair way of course...others have said whatever goes goes...yea you can tag it..beat it down to 10 percent and then whoops...heres some max level group that wants to harrass you so they just bring 400 mobs with em...use invis or any one of a dozen type of things to harrass you and blam you are dead..they take boss..usually link the awesome loot you should have had...and if you happen to say anything at all in return...follow you and harrass you for hours with tottally inaporpriate language and create a completely uncomfortable gaming envirnment for you until you give up and log off or leave entirely...another paying customer lost for the company but hey ..who cares...stupid care bear players should play on a server where it suites their own playstyle........oh wait...they chose PVE...hhmmm...well...then report and ban those harasssers and maybe for once they will learn its just a bunch of pixels but it does have a person behind it ::::

it's so much easier in the pvp server, kill everyone, reset boss and kill it, instead of luring another bam lol, so pathetic

PvP server results in him being killed instead of BAM lured over.

End result is still no World Boss. So how exactly is that a solution? The guys that lure BAM's are the same guys who run 10 deep with their guild 24/7 Pk'ing 1 guy. Ain't nothing he can do to fight back.

Evilray hit the nail on the head. Sometimes I like to move around in the world, go exploring, and if I only have an hour to play, I want to get as many quests as I can in that hour. I DON'T want to spend that hour trying to defend myself for crossing a road that didn't belong to me or come back from a quick afk to find myself lying dead.

@Jerky They're a guild of 200+. Do you think if I was in a PVP server this would serve my advantage? They tried to duel me many times. I refused. Since they brought 6 people there and we had 3, I know if I duel they could've lured bosses in and actually get me killed. I chose not to engage because I didn't want to give them an opportunity for revenge, they left with taunts and threats and what not, but also couldn't take action because it wasn't a PVP server. So it was better that I joined a PVE server.

But aside from this naive point posted by Jerky;

My concern is mainly that a large [filtered] guild can monopolize world bosses, that's why I'm asking maybe either move the world boss to a place that isn't surrounded by other monsters, or, eliminate loot on a world boss so it's either for a quest / personal challenge or what not to eliminate reasons for monopolizing a world boss. And the answer I received from other players so far is that SS + report seems to be the only available method at the moment. I'll submit a ticket and see whether enmasse will look into this area.

Really? It boggles your mind why somebody wouldn't want to be killed in the middle of fighting a bam or just out questing? Honestly, every pve "carebear" secretly hopes all the douchebags and [filtered]es will roll pvp server because thats what they like to do is grief people.

Why would a large guild care about the 3rd best loot in the game that they would have their members camp the spawns on multiple channels?

I would imagine that those same members would prefer to go in instances to get the 2nd best gear while doing nexus events and crafting for the best gear.
