So This Happened...

So let's say you've got a Pirate who thinks it'd be funny to use some hacks to make leveling their grenades easier? What cheats will they use?

A few that will be nameless in this post.

Now go ahead and take a nap. Wake up in the morning and you'll most definitely have your Grenades to at least Lv25, right? Right...?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

No, this isn't a hypothetical situation. This is what I just ran into. I was assisting a new friend with her Doll Upgrade quest when I notice a guy who appears to be leveling his grenades with Ancient Fly Traps. Seems fair enough. They don't move, and all you have to worry about is the Acid Spit.

I thought I'd just heal the guy, when I saw his health was still at a maximum percentage. Not only that, but even when the Ancient Fly Trap was dead, he would still be throwing grenades.

So what do you do? Just report them and leave it be, right? I mean, that's all there is to do, right?

Nah. I took it a step further. He wouldn't be seeing his Grenades past any level other than Lv15.

I decided to park my alt pirate right in front of him so his grenades would never reach the Ancient Fly Trap. And it should be alright, since the Fly Trap was so focused on the guy.
(Note: The damage the Fly Trap was taking there was from my friend, who was attacking it. The person standing in front of the guy in green with the grenade in his hand is my alt.)

Lesson learned: If someone tries to take advantage of the game, there's someone else who will take advantage of just that.

lol Good move. Did you submit that screen to POTCO with your Report. They would get a chuckle out of that, too!

Yep, I most certainly did. The friend of mine had also sent a report.

Auto-clickers

I enjoy moving auto-clickers using other bad guys. Usually just get a bunch to chase you (I use staff blast or throwing daggers), then run past the clicker.

The bad guys enmasse will shove them a little. Then you just loop around and do until they are beyond their weapons reach of the things they attacking.
Or, I send a boss over to visit them.

I will admit I've brought the boss down on Kings head when it comes to people using auto clicker, It's funny when you see them KO'd and not ask for help
