As most of you know, Galloperas are a breeding ground for kill-stealers and D/C hackers. I want to ask the opinion of Basil Market to help me efficiently deal with them. So here is my story. I was training with my fellow buddies at Galloperas, two of us racing to level 120 together. This was during the 2x EXP event today on May 29th, 2010. We encountered multiple kill-stealers, which is guaranteed if you train at Galloperas. We encountered over 6 kill-stealing groups, whose IGNs I have documented. Most of them left under 10 minutes after we asked them politely multiple times to discontinue their kill-stealing attempts. However, at 5:43 pm EST, four kill-stealers came who refused to leave. lvlapleSin83 and three of his buddies, Waldo125, lMistery, and BloodTimexD. BloodTimexD left somewhat early on. lMistery refrained from kill-stealing after a while. Waldo125 was an annoying addition. But lvlapleSin83 was the one who continued to provoke us and kill-steal, even after we asked politely multiple times. Here are some screen-shots for your viewing pleasure: http://i48.tinypic.com/veb18j.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/23uoehg.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/53vj4m.jpg lvlapleSin83 realized that his kill-stealing attempts were futile, and with his ego hurt, he decided to resort to D/C hacking my character. He went on lvlapleDit83 and started D/C hacking me. (I believe the term is "lockdown"? I am not proficient in hackers' jargon.) Please give me some advice on how to effectively deal with such people. Mind you, we never pulled the "CC PLZ" on them, since we know that irritates people. We continuously asked politely, "May you please stop kill-stealing?" "Please. Stop kill-stealing and change channels." However, they--mainly lvlapleSin83--would not listen. He continued to provoke us and hamper our training. Please do give me some words of motivation. I humbly thank you ahead of time.

ksing people is fun and part of the game, get used to it. Use it as a motivation to get high lv and ks people back. Though dcing is bad...only noobs do that.

Ignore them. Eventually, as a bishop, you'll be the ksing queen of maple. Let's hope they don't run into you at galloperas then >:D

[/quote] I suppose a bit of "toughen up" speech helps, but the lockdown mode is what gets me. I planned it out to reach level 120 today. And now that plan goes out the window.

This really make me angry! Why the hell would someone go to those lengths of insulting and ruining another persons day! As an AM I have never felt the urge to ks another person if they are in a channel and to low to kill the monsters for greed of experince. I really wish this happened In window because I would help you out being dc hacked or not.

You have your entire life to get to 120. Doesn't really matter if you can't make it today, does it?

But seriously, report his butt and get his whiny little show-offy fat butt somewhere else. Just imagine him. Sitting in front of the computer, pretending to be cool. You see his face. It's ugly, distorted, from all of those potato chips. "I got em now," He says, as he wiggles his body happily, the fat on it moves on it's own. "BOB HONEY! GET GOING TO SCHOOL! YOU'RE FAILING!," says his mother. "MM HMM WAIT A SEC IM GAMINGGG," he says. "OH YEA, I'M SORRY BUT WHO IS 28 HERE AND HASN'T GRADUATED YET?," said his mom.

I'm fine with ksing because duirng 2x I would always ks people at harps, but dc hacking is another story. There is no way to stop dc hack. If someone targets you the only way for them to stop is if they get bored and decide to stop.
