A word about "rep-stealing"...

[seafox]

....I'd like to say something about 'rep-stealing.....the first time I ever played this game...years ago...nobody knew the term...we came into the game as pirates,,,not saints...we pillaged, we plundered me hearties, yo ho....everyone was fine with it...especially in a group place , like the forts...we figured out to crew up was best for all there....and no one threatened a "newb" who jumped into the fray....NO ONE PERSON...owns a target...they are public domain. If a person is questing,,,and they tp to a place indicated a target they need is...and usually all 4 to 20 targets they need are in that area....they have the right to go after said target..manytimes there are several other players also on that quest....YES...ITS AGGRAVATING!...I meself try to steer away from "rep stealing" if imma on a quiet server....otherwise,, if I'm there first I ask peeps to join me crew...or I may ask to join a crew(usually, you'll be asked if ye stand there...lol),,,on crowded servers it should be expected to be a frenzy...If ye be leveling and not just questing,,,don't go there,,,,go to a quiet server,,empty is best...questers know that to achieve 20 navy shoelaces its easier to group up...and to get the rp from the quest giver,,,and the rp from defeating an enemy is doublesweet...NEW players no nothing of 'rep'stealing'.....they are instructed by the quests to do whatever...and they get new weapons, which is awesome to them...and they want to use them....One of me other characters now belongs to a guild who belongs to a "guild"...and we train new players(I have four characters of me own to level...and I train mebbe five members at a time )...we teach them "manners" along with game stuff....I have been with a group of founders and 50's and still had mid-range, hyper-rude, narcissistic players arrive...jump an enemy and go ballistic when another plyr attacks that enemy..without even noticing whose around or whats going on.....NEWBS don't know, and won't respond to it even told that way.....I don't like hearing the whining in game...or out...but out is better...everyone vents....the game is set up for old and newcomers,,,,anyone who thinks they are better than anyone,,,in game ,,,or out ain't fooling this pirate...or Disney(I'll say it again, "..it is what it is")....if ye be bored, take a break to have some RL fun...try to remember what its like to be a new player.....or a kid...coming into this exciting game....
